The marriage of Frank James might have remained eD. shrouded in the private obscurity of every day country life had it not been for the recent startling raid ef the St. Louis and Cincinnati detectives into this vicinity. The visit of the detectives to the house of Mr. Samuel ltalston, about seven miles east of this city, a few nights ago, brought to light the following facts, which throw another gleam of light upon the life and characteristics of one of these notable knights of the road. Where and how Frank James became acquainted with Miss Annie ltalston is amng the other mysteries of the wild young man's life.

But it appears that a loving court-- , ship had been going on for some time between Miss Annie llalaton and the dashing and daring young Frauk James. The parents had not the least idea that their daughter bad loved and had been won by the. bold train robber, and it was not until several months after her elopement that they realised the true facts in the case.. Early in the month of July, 1875 Annie llalston proposed to her parMr. ents a visit to her brether-in-law- , Eara Hickman, residing in Kansas City. Her parents, suspecting nothing frong, consented, and on the following day she started, with her little trunk and valise well packed, en the train for Kau6as City. It transpired afterward that Frank James was on the train to receive her, and that the elopement had br.cn prearranged. She was met at the Kansas City depot by her brother-in-law- , Ezra Hickman, who offered to as sist her from the train. She laughingly refused assistance, saying she desired to see a friend inside the car, and would follow him tip to the he Was ssen only house in a hack. one time afterward by her lriends on the train, en the way over to Wyandotte. A Mr, Connelly, son of Connelly of New Mexico, add brother of the young man taken from llalston' house by the St. Louis detective, saw Miss Ralston on the train and spoke to her. That was the last seen of the romantic girl.
