Prior to the kidnapping, says the
Daily News, Bud had announced his
intention to plunge into the woods and
stay there for months, while his bride
to-be tearfully insisted she would go
to Montreal to become a manicuriSt
The quarrel is reported due to
religious and social barriers raised by
the Wilson family, farmers, and the
matter was only settled when Bud
literally kidnapped the hysterical Lena
and carried her in a battered car over
80 miles Of forest trails to his mothers
camp.
Says Relatives Barred.
First, says the Daily News, Bud
signed a document agreeing that the
marriage should be by Catholic ritual
and that any children of the union
should be reared in the Catholic faith.
In return he received from Lena s
mother her written consent which is
necessary under Quebec laws for the
marriage of minor daughter.
But none of Miss Wilson's relatives,
says the dispatch. will be permitted
to attend the wedding, and gown

and also has advised storekeepers in

the President and Mrs. Coolidge were
shown Hangman's Hill. one of the
most historic landsmarks of this Sec
ton of the Black Hills. From the
red sandstone crest of this cliff three
horse thieves were pushed to eternity
with ropes about their necks in
pioneer days. Hangman's Hill stands
as a permanent evidence that the
stories of harsh dealing with horse
thieves in frontier days are no myths
of the dime novel or motion pictures.
TO gaze upon the receding face of the
rock and the tall strong tree at the
crest, one is readily satisfied that the.
vigilance committee who We're self
appointed hangmen selected an adj
mirable spot for a hanging, and, ac-
cording to those who today narrated
the story of Hangman's Hill, this
particular execution was a complete
success.
The presidential party included Col.
Blanton Winship, military aide, and
Maj. James +. Coupal, the Presidents
physician, both of whom are ardent
trout fishermen and are eager to do
themselves proud in the new waters

piers also are members of the party
