The police of this city hold warrants
| for the arrest of Charles Sutton, aims
Charles Ray, of this city. and Miss
| Ada Krum, OF Derry township, the
former charged with desertion aud non
support and the latter being wanted
as a runaway. The two people are sup
posed to be headed toward New York
State.
The couple left town over II month
ago and have thus far managed to
elude pursuit, although the police of
several up-the-river towns have been
aiding to effect their capture. The
case is also remarkable as showing the
| infatuation of farmers daughter
for man nearly twice her own age.
If there is anything more needed to
add spice to the episode 1t lies in the
fact that the young woman in the case
has stolen Sutton's affections from her
own sister and has actually run away
with her brother-in- law
Sutton or Ray as he is sometimes
known is a native Of Danville. His
wife before marriage was Miss Jennie
Krum, of Derry township. The latest
claimant to Sutton's affections, how
ever, as the sequel shows is Miss Ada
Krum, his wife's sister. The latter is
but seventeen years of age. She is de-
scrihed as short of stature, and as hav-
ing light hair. When she left home
she wore blue skirt and black coat !:
her hat was grey in color and trimmed
in black.
Sutton is 80 years of age. five feet,
seven inches in height; he weighs 1870
pounds and has dark hair and mus.
tsche. His face is pitted with small
pox. When he left home he wore q
dark suit and grey Cap.
