Angelina Medina, whose parents disapproved of her love for Jose Pastrans, decided to fly with him from Tampico to Alexico- City and to be married there. The outraged parents arrived at the airdrome as the couple were leaving. Hurrying back to the j police court, they had a warrant for the daughter’s arrest telegraphed to f Alexico City. It was served when she i landed there, and she was taken back j to Tampico by rail.
