LOVE LAUGHS AT PAPAS AND BAD 20
LICEMEN.

also I at irate papas, long {. distance
t t and nasty policemen
At any rate, here is an instance
where a pater, phone and a pc,
liceman combined, failed to outwit
two young persons who had made
ND their minds to elope. -.
The narrative concerns Miss $
Blanche Devericks and Lucien Neil
both of Highland, who were de-
tanned here yesterday as they were
about to board a train TOR Wash
ington, where they were to be mar
ried. The couple arrived in Staun-
ton just is minutes too late to
catch No. 2 on yesterday morning.
There was but single thing to do,
and that was to wait for another
train. As they were about to
board train No. s, a rude police
man who hod received a message
from brides papa butted in and
spoiled the whole thing.
But that it takes more than one
policeman and one papa to make
two matrimonially inclined persons
change their minds was proved by
what happened later. The young
people seemingly bowed to the de-
cree of fate and decided to. post
pone their wedding. At least
that's the way it looked from the
outside. But there is a sequel.
Father arrived in the city yester-
day afternoon to look for daughter,
but daughter couldn't be found.
Neither could the young man with
aspirations to be a son-in-law.
While nothing definite could be
ascertained. it seems that the cou-
pie drove to another point where
there was no policeman and there
boarded a train to resume the in
terrupted elopement. And thus
the kid with the wings and the bow
and arrow wins again. Staunton

way of a carriage directly in the
path of the auto. DR.. Jones di-
rected the machine to one side, but
Mr.. Huff was struck by the rear
fender and thrown to the ground.
His shoulder was broken and he
was otherwise injured. He was
taken in the car to the Kings
Daughters Hospital, where he re-
ceived medical attention. and YVES
afterward removed to the home OF
his son, E. l.. Huff, on Richardson
street, where he died.
Mr.. Huff was in his 18th year,
and old and infrm. His eyesight
was badly impaired and he was
practically blind. The accident
was not investigated by the au.
thorities, and so far as can be as
certained no blame is attached tC
