Lents Baptist Church been heard from for several weeks, im­ plying that foul means had been exer­ cised in causing her absence. The i Herald attempted to investigate the case this week and from all the information : secure«l is of the opinion that the Shepards are not trying very hard to get correct informxuion on the «-ase. It is the opinion that Mrs. Lynd is with her husband and probably in the city of Portlan«!. The Lynd case first attracted attention several months ago when the young people eloped and returns«! after a short time and reported that they had been married. The Shepards resented the arrangement and refused to let the girl live with her husband, alleging that she was of illegal age, being under seven­ teen. They attempte«l to keep them apart but love has its ways and they de­ feated the old folks from time to time as occasion offere«l. Lynd is reported to be a fine looking young uiaD and highly competent to make a good living for the girl. He has been employed about Portland and is a successful bt^inere man. Instead of accepting the situation the Shepards undertook to break up the match but failed to do it. It would have been wiser had they matle tiie lieet of it and cemented the union with such encouragement as a wise uiotte-r and father might have done. The continual opposition is believed by neighbors to have determined the young people in hiding their actions and they have most likely found a resilience somewhere in the city. .Mrs. Lynd is «iessribed as a charming beauty, of a very lively disposition, and it is not likely that she will suffer wherever she may be_^s she is said to be quite competent to look after her own interests, according to her view.
