Sioux Falls, s. D., Aug. 17.--A SEN
Bation has been created in two Sioux
Falls families by an elopement, In
which George Morton, aged Is, and
Miss Anna Olson, aged 16, are the
principals.
For some time the two young people
have been lovers and desired to get
married but the parents of both OBJ
jected on account of their ages. That
his son should secure a college educa-
tion was the ambition of the father OF
young Morton, and the lad appeared
TO agree to this.
According to a story which is In cir
culation here, the father, short time
before the disappearance, gave his
son 5000, which was to be used to pay
his expenses at college. The lad, how
ever, appears to have planned other
WISE
He departed ostensibly for the pur-
pose Of arranging to attend college
at Chicago, but with him, 1t has since
developed, went the young Olson girl
At the time OF her disappearance the
girl was employed at a local candy
manufacturing institution.
Not reporting for duty telephone
message was sent to her home, and
this elected the information that she
had left home with the avowed inten-
ton of going to work as usual. How
ever, she never appeared at the place
where she was employed, and later a
note was found which had been writ
ter by her to her sister.
In this she announced that she was
going to run away to Chicago with
young Morton and that they would be
married in that city. Since their de-
parture not word has been received
from them.
