ELOPERS IN LIMBO.
Capt. CaulkinS ana His ElOping Part
ner Arrested in BellefOnte.


The sensational topic in society circles
for the past while back has been the dis
appearance from this section of two well
know personages, the sequel to which Is
gathered from the reports of an arrest
that took place in Bellefonte, Pa, last
week, the particulars ofwhich are CLEANED
from the papers of that city. The follow
ing account is from the Keystone Gazette:
"wednesday n. A. Caulkins and Mrs.
Maize Hoovler, both of Forest county,
Pa, were arrested at State College and
brought to Bellefonte and placed behind
the bars in the county JAIL upon the in
formation of Samuel G. Hoovler, who
now resides at Tonesta, Pa. After arriv-
ing in Bellefonte Wednesday in custody
of officer II. II. Montgomery they were
taken to Squire Keichline's Office where
commitment was made out. Mr.. Caul-
adultery. On the way to the Jail a very
dramatic scene occurred in which Mrs.
Hoovler tainted, and these in charge
were compelled to carry her part way up
the hill. When in the Jail she tainted
again and physician was quickly sum-
moned, who found the young woman in
very serious condition. They were
placed in separate cells and Mrs. Hoovler
was made as comfortable as possible.
"Wednesday morning the elopers were
given hearing before Squire Keichline.
Here another sad and really pathetic
scene occurred. The effects OF Mrs.
Hoovler's attacks during the night rem
dered her so weak that she sent word to
her husband, who was in town, to come to
see her. He refused her request, where
upon she demandedto be brought down
to the hearing. When on the way down
she again tainted and was brought into
the Justices Office in that condition, when
she became hysterical and would pit
eously plead: Send for mama. For Gods
sake send for mama. Can't l have mama
with me?' She was finally taken back to
Jail, from whence she will, in all likeli
hood be removed to the hospital, while
Capt. CaulkIns was bound over to court,
and, not being able to secure bail, was
returned to Jail.
"The story of their escapade is as fol-
lows: Samuel c. Hoovler resided with
his family, consisting of Mrs. Hoovler
and one child, at lumber town called
Hickory in Forest county. Mr.. Caul-
kins has a wife and two children resid-
ing at Oil City, Pa, is photographer,
and as a side issue institutes lodges of
Sons of Veterans. Some months ago
this gentleman made his headquarters
at Hickory. A month ago Mr.. Caulkins
suddenly disappeared as did also the
wife of Mr.. Hoovler. 1t was supposed
that they were together, but their where
to the Gazette in Forest county noticed
| Mr.. Caulkins' name in connection with
our report of the installation of Gregg
Post officers, which took place Saturday
evening, January II. Correspondence
was Immediately opened between MIR.
Hoovler and w. II. Musser, who was
elected commander of the Post, which
resulted in definitely locating the runa-
way couple.
ION Wednesday of this week, Samuel
Hoovler, the husband, and his father
j, G.. Hoovler, arrived in Belleionte
and, after consulting the authorities, con
cluded to effect their arrest-the officer
finding them together in a room in thu
State College Hotel, presumably as man
and wife.
"The couple came here on December
18th and engaged lodging at Philir
Beezer's boarding house, where they
lived quietly together, apparently un
mindful of the wrongs they had dom
to their families"
