Last Saturday night, Priscilla Stanley, the sixteen-year-old daughter of a chief of one of the families, disappeared. It was later learned that she had come to Elkton with Hugh Alcks, a member of the rival band to the Stanley family. The irate father started in pursuit, but upon reaching Elkton learned that they had taken a train for Baltimore."
