SPOILED AN ELOPEMENT.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 26.-Protests of
an angry mother caused an elopement
which was nipped in the bud here to-day,
and this afternoon two disappointed lovers
were returned to their homes in Boone
county. Officers Cassidy and Slater, at the
Wabash station, this morning noticed a
young couple acting strangely, and, as
neither could satisfactorily explain their
presence in town, they were placed under
arrest and taken to the police station. Here
the girl between sobs told the story of the
affair.
Alva Dehoney, aged nineteen, son of a
farmer near ThOrntown, and Grace Boul-
den aged sixteen, of Pixies Crossing, Boone
county, are the pair whose attempt at an
elopement was so cruelty frustrated. Last
night at 1890 o'clock Dehoney went to the
Boulder home, and, taking his sweetheart
in a carriage, drove to Thorntown, where
they boarded Big Four train, arriving
here at o'clock this morning. They in
tended going to Danville, ILL.,, to be married
and then return to their home.
= The girls mother had opposed the match
and Is accused by her daughter of whipping
and maltreating her for persisting in going
with Dehoney. The father of the girl, on
the contrary, desired his daughter to wed
Dehoney and knew that she would elope.
He gave her $40 to add to the small fund
both had accumulated and sent Henry
Stephenson, a neighbor, with the couple to
see that the knot was properly tied. De-
honey's mother also favored the match and
encouraged the couple to elope.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, June 26.-Twenty-five Of
the leading citizens of the city, who bought
franchises for the perpetual use of gas
when II was discovered in this vicinity.
have just filed suit in the Superior Court to
enjoin the Citizens Heat and Light Com

companies here, from shutting off their sup
ply of gas.
Recently the company offered the fran
c.lise holders, of whom there were several
hundred the option of having their gas
turned of or paying for 1t during the win
ter months at practically half the rate
charged the public generally. The majority
of them accepted, but the twenty-five are
holding to the terms of the original fran
chise and demand gas for nothing, as per
it's terms. There have been several legal
battles over the case, but the suit now
brought will bring the matter squarely to
an issue.
Last night Judge Ryan granted a tempo
rary Injunction, and the company was at
once served with the papers. The hearing
of the evidence TO make the Injunction
permanent will be heard on July 6.

Distribution Contract Case.

distribution Contract Case.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-In the Nellis
seed contract suit before the Court of
Claims an affidavit by Charles Kingsley of
Falls Church, Va, has been made public
alleging that A. c. Nellis, of New York,
who had the contract for furnishing seed
ready for distribution to the government,
two years ago, directed that no books were
to be kept and that the packages should
be light weight. The legal representatives
of Nellis are suing for the payment of
$4,000 which Secretary Wilson withheld
from the contract payment for alleged nom
performance of contract. The full amount
of the contract was siOS.OO0.
Secretary Wilson said tonight that the
$4,000 was withheld as the result of an in
quiry into the work of the contractor at
the time and that the government is still in
possession of Nellis's bond for S35, 900 Mr.
Wilson said that he had directed that the
seed contract and its execution be probed
to the bottom and that the investigation
has not implicated any other government
employe. The distributing machines used by
Neliis. he said, failed TO do satisfactory
work and caused delay in the annual seed
distribution and a great rush of work sub
sequently, making il impossible for the
government inspectors TO see all that was
being done.
