 Possession of Girl.

stern father, disappointed lover and q girl who is in doubt whether to feel glad or sorry are the actors in q little episode produced in Valdez last night. The father is Louis Thorsten- sen, of Ellamar, the girl is his 6year old daughter and the disappointed lover is q Russian who changed his name from what it was in his native land to the moro American cogncmen of Smith.
 Briefly told the story is to the effect that Smith has been paying attention to the girl, against the fathers wishes but with the mothers sanction. While the father was away the girl and her lover took passage on the Elsie for Valdez where they intended to get married.
 The father, however, learned of what his daughter had done and in his own launch set forth at full speed for Valdez, arriving not long after the Elsie. He found his daughter and she made little objection to leaving the man to whom she had promised herself. He objected strenously but his objections were over-rulod by the father, the daughter acquiesing.
