THE ELOPEMENT REVIEWED.
Mrs. Hemingray had purchased her tickets for Hot Springs, Ark., and that her trip would not be stopped. Getting Miss Kate McDowell, a friend of her daughter to go to the train with her she persuaded her to board the train and accompany her part of the way. She did not object to Cusick as a son-in-law but thought that her daughter was too young to be married. It was the proposed trip to Hot Springs that brought the wedding on when it occurred as Mrs. Hemingray intended by going there, to separate the lovers. Since the wedding Mrs. Hemingray has been at Hot Springs until the recent big fire there which burned out quite a number of hotels and made several hundred homeless. She left there and immediately went to her daughter in Kokomo where a full reconciliation took place yesterday. |
