FATHER WOULDN'T FORGIVE.
Instead of forgiving his l7-year-old
daughter Katie for eloping to Ohio Satur-
day night with Martin Swiulzen, John
Heron came to Pittsburg yesterday with
a double barreIed shotgun, meeting the
young couple at the Union station. and
that he did not kill them was due more
t. the lodging ability of the bride and
Bridegroom than to his lack Of incllna-
tiOn.
Heron waited for an hour In the
crowded station until the train came 10
from Ohio, and luckily his daughter,
who expected trouble OF some sort, saw
her father before he sighted them. He
tried to get shot at them in the crowd
nut they lodged behind others and
finally escaped from the station to q
street car.
With his shotgun and revolver
Heron gave chase on street car and
followed them all over the ciiy. He
took several shots at them with his
revolver, and threatened to kill anyone
who tried to interfere with him. he
was finally overpowered, disarmed and
placed under arrest. His newly mar
ried daughter then forced him 10
promise that he would accept Martin ss
bis son-in-law and would come and make
his home with them.
The bride then PERMITTED the police to
release her father, and when last seen
the trio was headed for Midway with the
young husband and son-in-lsw carrying
the artillery, empty.
