Iowa Falls, Oct. 31.-Satisfied to re-
cover his property, r. G. Smith, pro-
prietor of the Palace livery barn in this
city, will not prosecute the young man
who hired horse and failed to return
it. A week ago Friday, young man
giving his name as Christian Veste-'
guard, called at Smiths stables and
hired horse to ride to Franklin coun-
ty saying he wanted to attend we'd
ding and would be back in a day or
two. Smith waited a week and came
to the conclusion that the property
would not be returned and started out
to locate the young man, who had for
gotten to come back with the hired
property. Cards describing the horse
and the man were sent out and a clue
was followed several days, Smith A.
nally locating Vesteguard and the
horse near Rowen, where the young
man was working for a farmer, with
the evident intention of disposing of
the horse and saddle. When confront
ed by Smith, the young man confessed,
and was willing to do ANYTHING to
square the matter. 1t was adjusted in
some way and Smith returned here
Saturday evening with the horse and
will not prosecute Vesteguard, who is
a young man and FOREIGNER. 1t is
thought by some that he did not fully
comprehend the full significance Of his
misdeed.

Iowa Falls, Oct. Shack of the
simple announcement of the marriage
of Miss Ethel Riley of this city, is a
romantic story that involves the old
time saying that 'love will find a way"
and embodies a tale of an elopement
following parental opposition.
Last spring, a young man by the
name of Joseph Oeschger, of Danville,
Pa, came here and made his home with
his uncle, John r. Winters. He was
employed at the Iowa Falls Manufac-
turing Co.. and proved himself an in
dustrious young man. His visit to
Iowa, however, settled his fate, for he
met and fell in love with Miss Ethel
Riley the youngest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. M. Riley, we'll known and old
time residents Of Iowa Falls. The
feelings Of the young man were re-
ciprocated by the young lady and the
attachment soon ripened into love that
was destined to eliminate at the hy-
menal altar. The course of true love
did not run smoothly, however, and the
element of opposition on the part of
the young ladys parents soon entered
into the affair. The young people We're
not to be daunted and unbeknown to
any of their relatives here, an elope-
ment was planned. Telling her pa
rents that she was going to Alden for
few days to visit some young lady
friends Miss Riley boarded a west
bound passenger and was soon speed
ing westward. She left the train at
Alden but failed to call on friends and
took the next eastbound passenger
back to Iowa Falls where the groom
elect boarded the train and the happy
couple We're soon speeding eastward.
The next heard from them was the an
nouncement that they had been mar
ried at Cumberland Maryland, and
that after brief visit with friends at
Washington, d. C. they would go to
the groom's former home in Danville.
Pa, where they proposed to make
home. The couples's friends in this
city were not taken into their conf
dence and the anpouncement of their
marriage was genuine surprise to all.
