Berkeley County Farmer Chases
After Elopefs to Hagerstown,
GIRL ONLY SEVENTEEN YEARS.
Fails TO Find Young Couple, Comes
Back and swsars Out Warrant
For Parties.

Two young people Of the extreme
western section Of Berkeley county
furnished a sensation for the neighbor-
hood by eloping somewhere to be mar
ried.
The grl is Miss Abbie Stillwell. old
est daughter of Alex. Stinwell, farm
er, while the gay Lothario is Claude
Auchey, about % years old, and work
ed for Stillwell and Of course, fell in
love with his daughter. who is lescrib-
ed as tall, with red hair and only IL
years of age.
The father of the girl opposed the
match for the reason that his dsugh-
ter was too young TO get married and,
besides, he did not like his prospective
son-in-law any too well, So, putting
parental disfagoT aside the young
people skipped out, presumably after
midnight, driving away with one of
Mr.. Stillweirs horses and buggy.
Fearing discovery and in order to
head of quick pursuit, Auchey and his
sgirl turned the balance OF the horses
out of the stables and they scattered
themselves in every direction and
couldn't be found in the dark.
StillweI's wife died recently and his
oldest daughter had not only been his
housekeeEer, but like a mother TO his
baby. About 2 O'Clock this morning
hearing the baby cry for quite
awhile, Ire went to his daughter room
to see what the matter was, when To-
and behold she was gone. Going to
Auchey's room he found his bed empty
also. Then n dawued upon the father
that the young people had elored and
quite likely gone TO Hagerstown to be
married, which he at once set about
thwaztfng.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
the irate father called up tiss United
Telephone exchange here and request
ed the night operator to telephone to
Sheriff Deibert to have the parties ar
rested when they lanedd there, and ses
to it thai they got no marriage license
Then in a borrowed rig Stilfwell star
ed for Martinsburg, arriving here at
O'Clock He and an officer went owen
to fIageTstown on the morning train
but, finding ne trace of the rrunaways
they returned to THIS place at IL o.
clock
Later Stillwell went before Local
magistrate and swore ont warrant
for the arrest of Aucney.
1t is supposed that the clippers drove
to North Mountain and thence &c
Cherry Run, where they boarded a
Western Maryland railroad train for
Hagerst0wn. One thing is certain, any
how, and that is that they went there
because they were seen in front of the
court house at z O'Clock this morning
but where they went to after that is
not known.

It is said the trouble between Curry

Curry claims to have been warned that
Gum had threatened his life. It is
stated that Curry was sitting at ta-

was then that Curry drew his revolver

Sive World

Il was somewhat startled at the
headlines, Does Away With Short

ingly remarked John w. Greb to a
Teller representative today, "but a
perusal of the article in question
showed me that my fears were ground
less as far as they related to machin-
cry taking the place of the court re-
porter as the article referred to the
use of the business phonograph.
'I ordered one of these monographs
last February, but part of the outfit
was lost on the road and just recently

I'm using this machine the short
hand notes are taken as usual, but the
advantage is in the fact that during
a busy season the reporter can die

while he continues to take testimony
or is engaged in other work his tran
script is being rapidly produced by
the typewriter operators who receive
the dictation from the phonograph.
