COUPLE
ARRESTED
TWO YOUNG PEOPLE FROM FOL
SOM BLoPE BUT ARE TAKEN IN
TO CUSTODY BY THE POLICE IN
THIS CITY.
Police Release Them After Girl Tells
Story and They Leave For cumber-
land to Get Marrtsd Shortly Before
Father Arrives.
GirI TeIls

Life was full of uncertainties, excit-
ing incidents and unpleasant expert
ences for runaway young couple in
clarksburg short time Monday morn
ing. They were running of to get mar
ried but after arriving in Clarlzsburg
were taken into custody by the police.
In this particular instance love con-
quered and laughed at the law rs well
as it did at loclssmiths, and a pursuing
father was outwitted after all.
The telephone bell at police headquar-
tiers rang furiously for short time
early Monday morning before the day
policemen had taken their beats. 1t
was answered by Policeman Rogers who
heard the nigh pitched voice of an irate
father at the other end of the line. He
asked the policeman to stop his daugh-
ter who had left his home Mt Folsore
with her lover with the very evident in
teution Of getting married. A short
description Of the two young people fol-
lowed, and officers went over to the
Baltimore < Ohio passenger depot to find
the young couple.
When the young man and his intend
ed bride arrived at the depot with the
intention OF leaving on train for the
east they were taken into custody by
the police. Their happy dreams were
rudely shaken and things began to look
very dark for them a. the- we're being
marched off to police headquarters.
Arriving at the city building the
young couple were taken before Chief
Howe. a little court of inquiry was
held and the young girl told the whole
story. She was seventeen years of age
and he was nineteen. They had slipped
away from parental restriction and were
going to get married. The girl told her
story very plainly and at the conclusion
the police thought that the circum.
stances were such that the very best
thing the young couple could do at this
stage of the game would be to get mar
ried. The young people were released
from custody and they hurried on to
the passenger station where they caught
the morning east bound train for Cum
berIand at which place they are no doubt
now enjoying the bliss of married life.
They got away at the depot about an
hour before the Short Line train which
bore the pursuing father. arrived.
The young mans name was Hess
and the bride-elect was Miss Call
man. Both are well known young peo.
pie of Folsom.

Until After Due Notice Has Been Given
Thousand Men Would Be Thrown
Out Of Employment.

The matter Of issuing an injunction of
much Importance in the famous King
land case was up before Judge Mason
here Friday. Judge Stiles, of Charles
ton, representing the King interests,
asked the Judge to whom the case was
referred some months ago, to issue an
injunction against the Ritter Lumber
Company, restraining the latter from
cutting timber. But Judge Mason de-
clined to do 80, until after legal notice
has been given. The issuance of such
an injunction would throw thousand
men ont of employment, this being one
of the important features.

Barre FIRE.

Fire broke out on Saturday about 8
O'Clock in the brick building on South
Main street, owned by the Stafford &
Holden Manufacturing Company and
occupied by Virgil Ayers, who is in
the lumber business. The fire caught
from the boiling over of some tar in a
vat. The damage is roughly estimated
at from $4, 900 to So, 600. When the
fire was discovered some delay was
occasioned in giving the alarm owing
to n of the fire alarm boxes nearest
the building being out of order. The
building has a slate roof and the fire,
which was mainly confined in the up
per part of the building, was hard to
reach, necessitating smashing several
holes in the roof. A hydrant near,
which was also out of commission,
caused another delay as a longer string
OF hose had to be set to the next one.
The all out was rung in about ten
O'Clock. The damage was. confined
mostly to the inside of the building
and the machinery. The building was
insured for about $40, COZ and the ma
chinery and stock for So, 800.
