Guthrie, o. T., May 6.-The Leader is
authority for the following elopement
story: A daring elopement occurred at
Snyder recently and, after being chased
several miles by the irate father of the
young lady. John Delay, and Efie Bills
were married. The young people have
known each other for years. but the par
ents of the bride did not look on young
Delay with favor. Knowing this, the
couple decided to elope several weeks
ago. Delay secured the license and re-
| turned to Snyder expecting his bride to
| he there to meet him. Her parents, how
ever, had heard of the intended elope-
ment and had not only locked her in her
| room. but otherwise chatised her.
The young lover hung about the house
several days without even a sight of his
intended and was on the point of giving
up when the girls older brother appeared
on the scene. He Immediately threw the
weight of his influence on the side of the
young lovers. but this proved of no avail,
as the girls parents still remained OBJ
durate. The assistance of a young man
named Summers was enlisted and he,
together with Delay and young Bills,
went TO the Bills home.
Summers engaged the elder Bills in
conversation out in the yard, and at that
juncture the two other young men drove
UP. Mr.. Bills, suspecting their intentions
called to his wife to bring his shotgun,
but Summers threw him to the ground
with the remark that thered be no shoot
ing while he was there. Young Bills then
leaped from the buggy and kicking in
the window, released his sister, who
clambered into the buggy and with Sum
mers and the other men drove away.
The father was furious when released
He seized his gun and, mounting his
horse. rode after the young people. They
were too much for him, however, and ar
rived at the preachers house and were
married before the father got there. He
refused to forgive his daughter and the
son who had taken part in the affair.
