'l'wo.weeks ago lastSunday Gee Taylor and a young lady , accoln- panied by George 4i1Eot , drove to the house of August Lammcrt , 10 miles weat of Callaway and invited Myrtle I.Jammert to go riding , and she accepted the invitation. She did not return I that night nor the next day , and Philpot was missing , so the . father started on the trail of the I runaways , visiting various places , but they had just leCt each place , : "alretty-yet" . At Plattsmouth . he found the couple had been married , gave up tl e qa e and I : returnec 40nlC 'to ftne ! Mr. and ! Mrs. Qeorge hilpot had alread.v returnee\ \ and were awaiting his blessing , and he did not hesitate to give it in no uncertain tones . or language , interposing therein many qualifying adjectives not permissable In print. Then he straightway caused the arrest of Philpot and Taylor for enticing bis daughter from home , claiming that she was not yet eighteen years of age. The case came on for hearing before Judge Humphrey in the County court last Monday. ' 1'he parents both testified , alter which H. M. Sullivan , attorney for de. fendants , made a motion to clis- III i s. 'rhe parents , in their testimony , were so bacll ) ' mixed on dates as to when they were married and the birth of Myrtle that Judge Humphrey deemed the evidence insufficient to est&.btish the age of the daughter and discharged the defendants. , ' 'J. . , ' , . , ' . . . .
