SPRINGFIELD

and FAMILY the slip, wednesday
morning and eloped with George 4
Smith. They were married in Black 4
foot about II a. m, that day. The I
story Is very romatic and reads much I
like our now popular love stories.
While her father was out on one OF
his pleasure trips and after the
mother had left to visit a sick rela-
tive, Miss Rich dressed and prepared
for her trip, then she. slipped out
very innocently and down the road.
The rest of the family thought she
was going to the spring and did not
know she had gone away until some !
hours afterward. She met her lover
near the bridge at the Hamilton
ranch, where they in turn were met
by George E. Mclean, of Sterling,
who hurried them to Blackfoot in
his car where they were married.
When the family became aware OF
her departure, they took turns foot
racing to all the nearby ranches to
see which way she had gone. Charlie
Thompson, of Blackfoot, soon phoned
to them of the couples arrival and
wedding. Mrs. Smith is the younger
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. j. Rich, |
and has grown to womanhood at this
place She is beautiful and a very
popular young lady. Mr.. Smith Is a
newcomer here, having come at the
time OF. the construction of the Til
den bridge, but he seems to be a
man of sterling qualities and Is very
well liked. The young couple return
ed next day and will make their
home at Sterling in the future. They
have the best wishes of the entire
community.
