The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-15

Two elopements within a fortnight,
with amorous complications, is the rec
ord of the Galley family, 21S East Sew
enth street. First Miss Alice, a charm
ing little girl of sixteen summers, shook
st. Paul's dust from her feet and was
married in ST. Louis to a wealthy Chi
cago manufacturer. Alice was so loud
in her praise of the elopement game
that her father, William Galley, came
under the influence of the bewitching
spell, and ten days ago left for parts
unknown, deserving his wife and fam
lily. Mrs. Galley says that he was ac-
companied by Stella Toler, daughter of
Alfred Toler, Alice Gailey's Tilted
sweetheart.
The story of the courtship and elope-
ments is complicated one, dating
back to March, when Alfred Toler and
Alice Galley tried to marry against the
wishes of Mrs. Galley. The girls father
gave his consent, but Mrs. Galley
strenuously objected on the ground
that the difference in age was too
great. Toler is siXty-five years of age
and the father of a grown family, while
Alice has just passed her sixteenth
birthday.
Aged Wooer Is Arrested.
Toler was arrested at the time and
obliged to sign a peace bond and to
promise the court that he would not
interfere with the young woman. He
ceased paying attentions to the girl,
but it was said that Miss Galley had
told him that when she became of age
she would marry him in spite of her
mothers objections.
But another man appeared in the
meantime. Frank frankfort, son Of
a Chicago manufacturer, and himself
member of the firm, met the girl. 1t
was case of love at first sight. He
proposed that they run away to get
married She thought it would be ro-
mantle. So they left st. Paul two
weeks ago for st. Louis, where the
ceremony was performed.
No sooner was the marriage ceremony
solemniZed, than Mrs. Frankfort wrote
to her mother telling of it. Of course,
she was hidden to come home, as all
was forgiven, but the young couple
for some reason decided to stay away.
Every letter brought glowing ac-
counts of the joys of married life.
These were read to the father, William
Galley Their influence was great. He
was tired of home. He, too, would run
away with some fair damsel.
Child Takes a Hand.
So he went, according to Mrs. Galley
and took with him Stella Toler, aged
twenty-five, and the daughter of Al
fred Toler, the rejected lover of Alice
Galley frankfort. Galley and Miss
Toler have been absent from the city
for ten days and while their where
abouts are unknown, it is thought that
they are in Milwaukee.
Little Annie Galley, the youngest
daughter of the missing man, became
lonesome last week for her fathers
company, so wrote to Chief Jansen, Of
Milwaukee, asking him to find her
father. @ ee
The letter tells the story of the
elopement. 1t reads: "Will you please

left home in company with another
woman. When he left my brother,
eight months old, was sick in bed. The
woman is that picture that Mr.. Taber
sent to you. He is short man with
dark hair, his nose bearing to the left

street, st. Paul, MINI. ="
"P. S.-She is a short woman, with
dark hair. Her upper lip is cut.
Sometimes she wears glasses. She has
been an actress on the stage. If you
find out where they are mamma will
pay for it. We heard they had house
keeping rooms. Write soon."
Wants Husband Jailed.
'I will bring him back and have him
punished said Mrs. Galley last night.
eff he is in Milwaukee we will get
him. Mr.. Toler left for that place Sat
urday to find his daughter, and 1 feel
sure that he will succeed.
81 don't worry about Alice, for she
has married a millionaire, but I'll get
my man back and have him Jailed for
running away with that woman"
