.ELOPIN; COUPLE
CAME TO WICHITA
Girl of 10 Years Runs Away
with Man of 80 Years.
FROM PRETTY PRAIRIE
Team Located with Which
They Came Here.
FROM PRETTY PRAIRIE

According to J. II. Siebert. a Hverymal
of Pretty Prairie. an elopement occurred
erom that town last Sunday morning and
the couple is supposed to be staying il
this city. \ team which the man and
woman. or rather a girl. as she is but Is
years Of age, used. that was hired from
>ebert, was found Yesterday at Ferrelrs
livery stable, on South Water street.
Thus far the couple has not been located.
although persons have been found who
have seen the two people.
The mans name is Calvin, and the girls
name Sprague. The man is said TO be
twice as old as the girl with whom Re
clipped The girls parents are in search
of the couple.
The man Calvin hired the team from
Sebert's barn last Sunday morning. He
said he wanted it for a two days trip,
and would return it. When the team
did not show up. the owner came 10
Wichita in search of the man. He finally
located the horses through the assistance
of the police department. The employees
left say that the man who left it there
was alone at that time.
Last evening Frank Burt said that lie
believes the couple has left the city
and gone to Missouri. In that state il
viii be possible for the man and girl to
get a marriage license. In Kansas the
necessary age for that purpose is IS
years.
If the couple can be caught the girl Will
be returned to her parents and Calvin
will probably be tried for horse stealing.
