the Grand hotel and it seems that
during this time she formed a court

While under the parental roof
young Hubmer kept up a CORE

the letters fell into the hands of

young Hubmer to desist making fur
Their entreaties. The girl again left
home and found employment at the
Grand hotel. Young Hubmer, how
ever, was determined and told the
irate mother that he had seen a

young Hubmer had left the city and
their whereabouts has been unknown
up to this time, the parents of both
being unable to give an explanation
as to where they are in hiding.

No News at Hotel.
Inquiry at the Grand hotel failed
to elicit any information relative to
