EIaa for Ealrmont HIah School.

The people of Fairmont have no
doubt noticed that the American flag
does not wave over the high school
buildings as 1t does over the various
other public and private buildings in
this city. The students Of the high
school would not have it believed that
they are not patriotic; they feel that
they are Just as patriotic as any group
of people in this city or in any other.
But not having suitable flag they
were compelled to notice the conspicu-
Gus absence OF "old Glory" until such
time as flag could be obtained The
daughters Of the American Revolution.
however. have recognized the need of
the high school and are going to pre-
sent the school a splendid American
flag. AS soon as an appropriate pro-
gram can he arranged the Stars and
Stripes will be unfurled to the spring
breezes.

rhe Hiah School Campus.

Fairmont High school has one of the
most beautiful campus in the state.
The shrubbery and flowers are very
a.tfstically arranged and conceal the
gray stone-wall behind.
The lawn is well cared for and is
kept very neat and clean. Where once
there was merely board walk there
is now wide cement walk along the
campus, which adds much to the beau
ty of the grounds.
Since so many of the high schools
are built within city limits, the lawns
are small, but we have the good fortune
to possess large grounds. Not only
the flowers and shrubbery add to its
attractiveness, but also the large sap
trees which afford splendid shade in
the spring and summer. Many high
schools are built in lot which has
been graded down for the purpose of
building, while ours is very natural,
owing to the deep hollows which are
on two sides OF the building. From
the fourth street bridge one can get
an excellent viewNof the school and
campus.

STOLE DAUGHTER;

FATHER IN PURSUIT
TONI PONzl, NORTH OTTAWA
GROCER AND LEADER AMONG
ITALIAN COLONY, TRIES TO
INTERCEPT ELoPERs.
Ray Walters.

An elOpement possessing all mod
ern notions of romantic thrills, was
announced this morning to the La
Sale county authorities when an irate
father and broken-hearted mother
enlisted the aid of Sheriff Davis in a
statewide hunt for Magdalena P0nzi,
aged IL, and Philip Pondolf, aged 22
both of whom disappeared and fed
from Ottawa during the night.
The girl is the daughter of Mr.. anf
Mrs. Toni Ponzi, of 1S45 La Sale
street, Mr.. Ponzi, besides being on,
of the owners of the Ponzi & Del
grocery at the corner Of Marquette
and La Sale streets is also one o.
the leaders of the city's Italian colony
Pondolf, accused by the father az
Maedalene's abductor, came to Ottawa
a few months ago from Ravena. Ohio
and secured employment at the
foundry as monlder's helper. From
the moment of his arrival an attach
ment sprang up between he and the
youthful Magdalena, which rapidly
ripened into love.
Ponzi, the girls father, did not oh
ject to PondOliis attentions to his
daughter, and when the lover sprung
proposition of marriage upon him
he objected, it is reported. only be
cause of the girls immature years
and told Pondolh he must wait at
least another year.
The sweethearts are supposed to
have protested against a wait OF one
whole year and sometime during the
night the girl disappeared from her
bed, met her afianced and flew with
him to some place unknown at the
present to the authorities. The elope
ment was not discovered by the par
ents until this morning, and imme
dately 1t was detected the legal ma
chinery was set In motion in an eff
fort to intercept the couple before II
was too late.
Mrs. Ponzi became PROSTATE wher
she learned of her daughters duplc
ity while the father became incensed
the more he thought of Pondolti's con
duct. He went before the states at
torney and had warrants issued foi
the mans arrest and efforts are now
being made to trail them to their hid
ing place
