AN ELOPEMENT:  Last Saturday afternoon, DUG GREEN, after making a deed
of his homestead to his wife and giving her part of the ready money
which he had, informed her that he intended leaving her and the same
afternoon left on the C.B. & Q. train for St. Joe, in the company with a
young girl of loose character. He leaves his wife with a babe only a
little over a week old--their only child.  They had been married only
two or three years.  We had never heard of any trouble between them.
GREEN, though inclined to drink to excess, did not bear a bad character
and was in comfortable circumstances.  What could have induced him to
commit this outrageous crime against his wife and child is more than we
can understand.
