Bend The young couple were
stopped in st. Joseph before they
could secure their license and
brought back to South Bend, the
parents of the girl charging young
Anderson with kidnapping.
In city court Tuesday morning,
Judge Warner decided that he was
unable to solve the case because
Freida absolutely refused to go
home with her mother, who was on
the scene. Therefore he postponed
it for two weeks leaving the matter

assisted in trying to reach some sort
of an agreement whereby the girl
would go home 10 her parents. But
the wrangle continued to progress,
Mrs. Werner being the leader of one
side and Mrs. Anderson, mother Of
Claude, leading the opposite forces.
Pros. Montgomery, after trying for
an hour to settle the affair, threw up
his hands and told the girl she
should go home but could do as she
pleased. She started from the court
room with Claude. Her mother
grabbed her by the arm and de-
clared that she must go home with
her. The girl ran screaming from
her mother. throwing her arms
around her sweetheart's neck
and begging that he keep her from
her mother. Attempts of the mother
TO take the girl by force we're
thwarted by young Anderson and
other relatives who were on the
scene
Then the two mothers became in
volved in an argument relative to
the merits of their respective fam
lilies.
Il don't want my girl in your fam
/ lily" asserted the mother.

This resulted in bringing from the
closet several family skeletons re-
garding Mrs Werner Finally young
Anderson went to the sergeant's
desk, secured his belongings and
stepped outside the city hall. Freida
remained in the court room under
the care Of Anderson's sister and
brother. Mrs. Werner went after her.
But the girl eluded her and ran
from the court room out through
the police station TO the street where
her sweetheart was waiting Throw
ing her arms around him she again
pleaded that she be taken from her
mother and father The parents
pursued but were not nimble enough
to catch the young lovers, who fed
down the street in company with
Anderson's sister and brother.
Atty. Drummond had told them to
get their dinner and come to his
office during the afternoon. He will
attempt to find some means by
which the couple can be married.
According to the story that was
brought out, young Anderson has
been keeping company with Freida
for a year or more, and Monday
they decided to be married. Ac-
cording 10 the boys mother, he has
good job, money in the bank and
is buying a little home. She contend

Il will or die" sObbed Freida.
Young Anderson was at times
anxious to get into the fracas phys-
cally. when Mr. Werner attempted
to interfere, but was persuaded to
keep quiet.
The young couple asserted Shat
they could not be separated by any
one and the proposition Of the girl,
who is working, securing rooms
apart from her family until next No
vember when she will be Is, was dis
cussed.
Indications Tuesday were that
whatever steps may be taken by the
parents Of the girl. the little god Of
love will not be frustrated.

Strength is displayed in virtually every
branch OF the steel trade. Buying Is on a
large scale, according to steel trade inter-
ests, and premiums are being offered on
some products for which the demand Is
larger than the supply. Indications point
to continuation of this condition.
The advances i'm quotations for bars,
shapes, plates wire and other articles an
nounced by the leading interest has had no
effect on the demand and inquiries are
coming i'm just as fast as they did before
the upturn Some consumers in this coun'
try who have been holding off for several
months, apparently being influenced by the
published reports of concessions in prices,
are now compelled TO come In as buyers
and forced to pay higher prices.
II must be remembered that the larger
producers have at no time reduced their
prices. The reports concerning such action
referred TO those producers who were ask
ter of taking business in the hope of OBJ
talning even higher quotations When the
buying halted temporarily and these makers
found mill space for sale. they disposed of
IL at concessions This led to orders being
placed for comparatively nearby deliveries
at lower levels than future business. Now,
however, there has been such resumption
in the demand that premium offers are
again becoming frequent.
There has been some curtailment In pro-
duction thus far this month, but this has
not been as large as the average for July.
The weather conditions In most sections
have been more favorable. This has
