COUPLE
ELUDE PURSUERS

An elopement IN which the
groom from McGill and the bride
from East Ely, where the principals,
was an incident of Wednesday
morning. An automobile, the
brides father and Sheriff c. S.
Grain of White Pine county also
figured in the romance, but SO care
fully had the couple made their plans
that the efforts of the parent to
prevent the wedding were unavailing.
The groom was Benjamin F. Hegwer
of McGill and the bride Miss Bertha
Maud Carr, who resides with her
father at East Ely. The license had
been obtained, Tuesday, and on We'd
nesday morning the bride arose and
prepared breakfast for her father as
usual, and then made a quiet depar-
ture from beneath the home roof
tree.
Meantime, the groom had engaged
the services of A. r. Lawson and his
automobile, and soon after the pros
pective bride had left home she met
her prospective husband, who es-
eorted her to the car, and they were
whizzed away to the residence of
Judge Cartwright, where the mar
riage ceremony was performed soon
after 6 O'Clock, witnessed by Chauf-
feur Lawson and Louis Zadow
brother-in-law to Judge Cartwright.
The next move was a quick run to
McGill Junction, where it was plan
ned to take the train for Cobre, the
brides trunk having been put on
board the cars at Ely.
While the groom and bride had
been completing their plans to their
satisfaction, the brides father had
got wind of what was going on, and
securing the services of Sheriff Grain,
took train to McGill Junction to head
of the couple. The water tank
short distance north of MeGill
Junction, proved to be the objective
point of both parties. the elopers
having planned to take the train at
the tank, thinking that possibly an
effort might be made to intercept
them at McGill Junction
The intutiveness of the Hymeneal
mixers proved correct, for as the train
stopped at the water tank to take
them aboard they were confront
ed by father and the sheriff. That is
about all there was to it, Miss Carr
was legally and lawfully Mrs. Heg-
wer, and what could they do about
It? Nothing, and the sheriff so
stated. The conductor shouted "All
aboard" the 40" puffed tri-
umphantly northward, and the train
with the extra wedding Carr"
steamed swiftly in the direction of
Salt Lake and Honeymoon, while
the thwarted parent returned to his
daughterless home. When two souls
with but a single thought and two
hearts that beat as one, decide to be-
come one, 1t is we'll nigh useless to
attempt otherwise. Hymen may be
joker sometimes, but in the words
of good old Pinafore, "Hymen will
defray the fare" meaning that he is
always on the side of the lovers.
The groom is employed in the pow
er house at McGill, and the bride is
well known and most estimable
young woman. 1t is understood that
the parent thought his daughter too
young to marry, hence his objection.
In applying for the license, her age
was given as Is years and nine
months.

standing.
In response to his cry to Catch

was helping him, made a desperate
effort to pull Crokeker away from the
machinery, and in so doing was near

Machinists' union. and Joseph Ed
wards, a member of the local. will
accompany the remains to the place
of burial. although last night the
funeral arrangements had not been
completed.
He was young man popular with
his associates and the tragedy was
shock to those with whom he work
ed, and who are united in their
sympathy to his bereaved family.

empanneled for the purpose. made
an inquiry into the cause of the
accident, and returned a verdict in
substance that the deceased came to

Gallant Life Saver
Rescues Fair Bather's
Teeth---Very Secretly
Touching Predicament at Pied

Bathers at Piedmont park lake no.
ticed two women standing in one spot
in the pool for nearly an hour In
cessantly they churned the water up
and down as they moved their feet
around feeling for something on the
wooden flooring. They had gone in to-
gether and after padding around for a
short time an exclamation from one had
caused both to stop swimming and start
the queer search.
At last Captain Ben Schlomberg, OF
the United States Volunteer Life Saw
ing corps, noticed their predicament.
For few moments he swan around
them and then gathering his courage,
asked in a whisper that could be
heard by all nearby: is there anything
that | can do?"
e"Er-er-I have lost my false teeth, .
replied one.
"Tll dive for them; | can get them,
sure" said the gallant life saver.
The woman clutched his arm For
goodness sake if you get them, don't
bring them to the surface of the water, .
she replied. Just hold them under
the water and pass them to me-"
The sunburned head and shoulders of
the life saver disappeared. Hardly q
moment later he came up. All was
we'll for he surreptitiously passed some
thing to one of the fair swimmers who
left the water as rapidly as they could.

GREEK BROAD JUMPER
DEFEATS YANKEE STAR
By MICHAEL j. MURPHY.
(Trainer OF the American Team at
Stockholm.)

STOCKHOLM, July S.-American
athletes are now the overwhelming fa-
vorites in the fifth annual renewal of
the Olympic games The ease with
which they swept the boards in the
loom sprint was a revelation to
the followers of athletics, and as re-
suit Americans anxious to bet on their
team were unable to place wagers of
any magnitude today.
What few bets were made installed
the Americans as favorites with the
odds at 4 or 5 to l.
American athletes went down in de-
feat in the first event of the third days
contest of the Olympic games. This
was the standing broad jump, which
was won by Tsicletras. Greek ath-
lete. He jumped a distance of 3.37 me-
ters
Second place was won by Plat
Adams. of the New York Athletic club
with 1856 meters, and Benjamin w
Adams of the New York Athletic club
was third. with 1928 meters. Tsiele-
tras jump was equivalent to 11.05 feet
The record is held by E. Wry of Amer
lea, who Jumped Ii teet 90 lncnes,
at St Louis, in 1904
Despite their defeat in the standing
broad jump, however, the Americans
were cheered when notified that their
swimming teams protest against the
action taken in the 100-meter semi
finals yesterday had been sustained by
the international jury. The race will
be re-swam before the termination Of
the games and the Americans are con
fident that in this they will capture at
least three points.
Through some Misunderstanding
three men who had qualified for the
semi -Kahanamoku, McGillivray
and Hussagh-did not appear for the
semi finals when they were swan off.
In the trial heat Kahanamoku had
broken the worlds record.
