taken to the home of the young mans

and on the following Saturday night
large crowd came to chariyari them.
The boisterous crowd insisted on see
ing the bride, and when she put in an
appearance she was quickly spirited
away and has NOT been seen by the
newly married Engelkes or mis- par
ents since. They are inclined to con-
meet her people with the disappear
ance, and have asked the sheriff's aid
in bringing her back. That Official is
still wondering whether he has juris-
diction ii the case or not.
