GUARDED BY ARMED MEN
Irate Parents Threat to Take Daugh-
ter From Husband by Force,
ELOPERS' HOME IN STATE0F SIEGE

The younp People Are Hero and Heroine
of Two Elopements and a Thriiiihe
Rescue of the Bride From Her FOR
MGR uome-BrideGroom Arrested on a
Charge of Kidnapping, But Released
Bristol. ul.-Seven men, armed Wlth
shotguns. rifles and revolvers, guard
! the residence of George @, Hunt anu
his bride, the hero and heroine of two
elopements and of q thrilling rescue
of the girl from her irate parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Walker sent
word that they would arrive with an
attacking force sufficient to take their
daughter. dead or alive, from her
young husband. But the expected at
lacking party did not appear.
The whole village is ready to rally
to the defence Of the place, for the
sympathy of all here is with George
Hunt and his young bride.
George Hunt had been paying court
to Charlotte King since her mother
and s%tepfather, w. II. Walker, settled
on a farm near Oswego, in Bristol
Township. A few days ago the cou'
pie eloped to Geneva, in Kane County
and were married. On their return
home they found Il constable waiting
to arrest the bridegroom on a warrant
sworn out by Mrs. Walker, charging
him with kidnapping, and he was
before Justice Ely, at Evanston, only
to be discharged.
During the hearing, however, the
bride was spirited away by for par
ents. Hunt had a fruitless search I'M
til he learned that his bride was held
prisoner at the home of her parents.
He determined upon a rescue and, III
company with his brother-in-law, Z.
Harry Eccles, drove to the Walker
farm. During a parley in the yard
with Mr.. and Mrs. Walker, the bride
slipped out of a side door and fed
down the road, being Joined at once by
her husband.
Eccles attempted to cover their re-
treat, %whereupon he was set upon by
the Walkers and a negro farm hand.
The woman piled a horsewhip and the
G finally felled Eccles with a
stone. The fallen man regained his
buggy and drove back to Aurora. He
is able to be around, despite his treat
ment. In the meantime Hunt and / s
bride had reached Il neighbours, and
were driven by them to his home In
this town.
The Walkers appeared there shortly
after and demanded their daughter,
but she refused to go, and the furious
parents were denied admittance TO the
house. Later two of their servants
| appeared and renewed the demand,
and leaving word that the Walkers
would come in force and take their
daughter, dead or alive.
Acting on legal advice the Hunts
summoned their clans and prepared fol
defence. While no attacks were made,
Mrs. Walker is furious and sent word
that she will never %relinquish her at.
tempts to regain possession of her
daughter.
The young bride declares that sic
will never go back, and Hunts friends
are determined that she shall not.

Colombia and Venezuela are poor,
their resources sapped by continual
revolutions, and hence they are unable
to take part in the coming Pan-Ameri-
can exposition at Buffalo. The Colon
blan revolution has cost, since it be-
gan in October, 1899, something like
800, 900 900, and the chief business of
the country have been injured seri-
ously. In Venezuela the Govern

PRESIDENT ABANDoNS TOUR.
Will Return to Washington as Soon as
Mrs. McIxinlcy's Health Permits.


Mrs. McIxinlcy's Health Permits.
San Francisco, Cal.-Secretary Cor
telyou. Wednesday, gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Mrs. McKinley's serious illness
compels the President to abandon his
proposed visit to other States, to which
he had looked forward with so much
pleasure. As soon as Mrs. McKinley's
health will permit he will return to
Washington by the most direct route"
The gravity of Mrs. McKinley's con-
dition has been known to the members
of the Presidents immediate party for
several days, but had been concealed
In the belief that she would rally, as
she had done so frequently in the past
when suffering from one of her periods
of depression, and with a few days of
absolute rest be restored to normal
condition. But her present Illness has
been attended with entirely new COM
plications, which have not yielded to
treatment, and the President conclud-
ed that it was time the public should
be apprised of the true situation.
President Mckinley s decision to
abandon the rest of his tour was not
made until after the most careful de-
termination, and it was only taken
because the physicians considered the
presence of the President at the bed
side of Mrs. Mckinley indispensable
for several weeks to come.
