The TALES you probably never heard about

MISSING

[Welland Tribune, 9 July 1873]

The above particulars come from Clifton. Elliot, when purchasing the marriage license, was accompanied by the young lady, the couple putting up at the City Hotel, and visiting places of business around town. They claimed to be from Cincinnati, but their appearance was not that of city folks, and the general impression was that they were a couple who had run away from home to get married. The taking out of the license shews that they were respectable and meant right. Elliot had over $400 in American money with him.-[Ed. TRIBUNE.

A telegram from Chippawa to the Toronto Mail says that the address of a woman on Cedar Street, Cleveland was found in the man’s pocketbook at the hotel, but no effects of any consequence were recovered. The bodies have not been recovered. The young man was about 20 and the young woman about 18.
