 Prescott Elopement.
 One of the most sensational elope- ments in the history of Prescott had its climax in Phoenix with the ar rival here of MT. and Mrs. Bob Ford, both of Prescott Before her romantic marriage Mrs. Ford was Mary Heap, daughter of Horatio Heap of the Mile-High city. The Ford and Heap families, it is known were long on the most friendly terms and indeed there was really no objection to the marrying of the couple except that it was felt by the parents of both that they had not reached that mature period in life where matrimony was advisable.
 According to the best information the first discovery of the infatuation of the boy and girl for each other was when the girls father, walking along residential street of Prescott discovered his daughter in the act of being kissed by the young man. A stormy scene followed in which the young woman was ordered to her room and the key turned upon her and the young man told to make himself scarce as hens teeth.
 But young Ford was not to be so easily beaten. He told Ray Ford, his brother of the turn matters had taken.
 Don't you mind, Bob, old boy" Ray is said to have remarked to his brother And then he hurried out, saddles horse, travels down the canyons and across the plains gath ering a posse of cowboys and other friends of the boy and girl.
 The young woman is taken from her home without objection on her part or interference on the part of her unsuspecting parents. The party reaches a church and the wedding follows. Just as the rice is being thrown, the irate father shows up and the posse of friends keep him occupied until the couple boards the train for Phoenix They have ar rived in Phoenix all right and will be seen in the Lubin moving picture films being shown at Wigwam Sat urday and Sunday afternoons and evenings. Ii is one of the most realistic western pictures ever shown in this city and the locale gives added interest Scores of per sons who make Prescott their home are to be seen in the picture and the street scenes are quickly recognized by any person who has ever been in the county seat of Yavapai
