John Scott, the Norton n;an who
eloped with his flf teen-year-old
step-daughter and was caught »t
Pocahontas where they 'had reen
tered as man and wife, was fined
one hundred dollars in the police
court of Pocahontas and -then
taken back to Norton to answer t*
the authorities of Wise county for
his miseonduef. No doubt Mr.
Scott is a sadder, if not a wiser
man. It Is not likely that his wife
will again receive him Spain after
his treatment of her daughter, even

cester flats on the bank of His
Timber cr*ek vat Identified today
as that of Marie Mooney, a iced 8.r».
of North Woodbury. The woman
lived with her mother and has been
missing since last Friday night. It
was tiiought that she had met with
foul play, but an examination of he.r
body fnlled to reveal any marks of
violence. It is thought that she fell
from a trestle into the waters of the
creo.k and was drowned, and the
body washed ashore. The suicide
theory Is scouted by reason of lack
of motive.
