A Runaway Trip
An enterprising young couple in Monrovia, who yearned for wedded bliss, but were threatened with the delay of a year or so, owing to the fair damsel being considerably underage, took matters into their own hands one day last week, and eloped to Pomona. Juan Monje, the cruel parent, who had forbidden the banns, promptly sent Deputy Constable Robert Maehl after his erring daughter and her swain, and on Monday they were located at Pomona and ignominiously brought back to Monrovia.
On Tuesday, the fond lover, Frank Fraijo was taken before the justice of the peace, who gave him much fatherly advice as to the advisability of ceasing to smoke cigarettes and to swear, and recommended him to straighten up and be a man. By the advice of the justice, Monje gave his consent to Fraijo’s marriage with the fair Virginia and the license was procured yesterday. The youthful bride is a pretty Spanish-American, and in this taking matter into her own hands, she was but following the example of an older sister, who also made a runaway match.
Licensed to Wed
Frank R. Fraijo, aged 21, and Virginia S. Monje, aged 16; both natives of California and residents of Monrovia.
