and prevent the marriage of Miss Daisy
Duncan, the sixteen-year-old daughter Of
and Mrs. Andrew Duncan. who live
near Middlebranch, and Henry Dowdle, a
former Decatur county resident. who is now
employed at that place. Miss Duncan left

she reached that place she telephoned her
parents and asked permission to go to Ell
wood, where she has relatives, and secured
their consent. The parents. after thinking
matters over, became suspicious of the
change in the daughters MIND about visit
ing at Milroy and communicated with Ell
wood, only to find the girl had not been
there. They then sent the sheriff to Elk
hart. but 1t is probable that he will be too
