Girl WEEDS Halfbreed Despite Paternal
Opposition.
Hudson, Wis. July 2s.-Despite the
strenuous objections of her father, Gus
Staberg Of Lakeland, Luella Staberg
eloped with her halfbreed lover, c..
Tyler, last night. A stormy scene fol-
lowed at the union station and the
Hudson police were appealed to by the
father of the girl, but Chief o'Keefe
refused to act without a warrant, as
the girl was Of legal age.
The young people secured marriage
license last week in Hudson, and ac-
cording to the dusky skinned lover, his
sweetheart was spirited away to Star
Prairie. He followed her there and
returned with her last evening. Mr..
Staberg and Louis Olsen, a relative,
the mother Of Tyler and others were
at the station when they arrived at
Hudson.
The girl was appealed to by her
father to leave her lover but refused.
"A fist fight was narrowly averted. Mrs.
Tyler stood on the outskirts of the
crowd and declared she was there to
see her boy get a square deal. The
couple managed to get on the Still
water train and went there, presum-
ably to get married today. Feeling is
high in Lakeland, where both young
people live.

Weather Clerk Grasse lives on the
other side of the river but he wanted
to attend the state fair today and saw
ed his best and coolest weather for
this especial occasion and certainly
made good job of it. AS result
even the tremendous crowds of Tues.
day and Thursday were exceeded by
far and close estimate put the num-
Der of people on the grounds at p.
m. at $4,000.
The sidewalks about the grounds
were a perfect jam of good natured
people and the roads were overfiowed
into else there would have a block
ade. Every building from the mer.
chants pavilion on the west to ma
chinery hall on the west was packed by
sightseers Notwithstanding some of the
best races of the week were on the
schedule. The grand stand was soon
overlooked and hundreds paid admis-
sion to the stand area in order to get
somewhere near the fence but they
were not much better off than those
who lined the track fence clear around.
Even the roofs of some of the build
ings had people on them. The ground
inside the track was lined three deep
with vehicles of all kinds clear around
from the women's building to the
merchants pavilion, and che same was
true of the outside of the track west
of the grand stand and on the far side
by the stock pavilions.
The race programme was full of
new events such as the auto and motor
cycle events which attracted almost
as much attention as the horses. The
free acts were put on rapidly between
races so that the afternoon was chuck
full OF interest about the track.
The crowd came early and by the
time the whistles announced the open
ing hour there were probably 10000
people on the ground and from then
on a steady stream passed the gates.
And 1t was a good hundred crowd. All
