Michigan ElOpers Are Returned to

ST. Joseph, Mich, May 4. - SherlH
Bensley of Allegan county yesterday
returned to Michigan with Mrs. Lizzie
Coffee and Frank Kiper. He captured
them at Fairmont, MINI. They eloped
from Burnip's Corners two weeks ago.
Mrs. Coffee has gained national noto-
riety. it is said, as the matrimonial
candidate, having advertised through
out the United States and in England,
Germany and Philippine islands that
she was worth 100000 and that she was
a young widow and handsome. Notice
was drawn to Mrs. Coffee few weeks
ago through the postmaster at Bur-
nip's Corners, who asked the postal au-
thorities for help. stating that Mrs.
Coffee's mail was so large that it would
ecessitate an allowance for an addl-
.,onal clerk to handle her mail. Mrs.
Coffee drove daily to the office and col
lected her letters in bushel basket.
The postoffice inspectors failed to rec
mmend the appointment of an addi-
tional clerk, ana as a result the post
master resigned, saying it was impos-
sible for him to distribute the mail.
During two years Mrs. Coffee, it is
said, through her matrimonial schemes,
has received at least 10000 letters
which inclosed stamps or currency.
