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.</font></p><div style="border-bottom: windowtext 2.25pt double; padding-bottom: 1pt; padding-right: 0in; border-right: medium none; border-: medium none; padding-: 0in"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; border: medium none; padding: 0in"><font face="Calibri" size="3">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.</font></p></div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Licensed to Wed</font></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Frank R.
