A Romantic Love Affair and Mar.

From the Omaha Bee.

IOiII TIC OIndHd DE-
Among the many emigrant trains that
arrived in this city last week was one of
five wagons, about which we propose to
relate little romance, the particulars of
which were given to usby Col. Noteware,
the Superintendent of Immigration.
1t appears that three of the wagons Of
the train were from near St. Paul, MINI.
While travelling through Iowa they join
ed company with two wagons from Adams
county, Wis, and journeyed together to
this State. During the trip an acquaint-
ance sprang up between young man be-
longing to the Wisconsin outfit and
middle aged but good looking widow of
the Minnesota train. Before reaching
this city the acquaintance had ripened
into love of the deepest nature, and
the parties determined, upon arriving at
Omaha, to become united in marriage.
The matter had been kept secret from
the widows brother until they reached
this side of the river, when she inform
ed him of her intention. The brother at
once flew into a passion, and said that
she should not take the step, because the
difference between their ages made it a
ridiculous match, and besides IN
only wanted to marry her for her money.
The widow, VINO was evidently after q
young husband, had informed il
that She had some So, 900. This fact had
probably fastened declaration of love !;
at least SO thought the brother, and so he
inform ed J-n, and further added
that he should not marry his sister. The
consequence was quarrel, which soon
ended in fight, as they were coming up
from the ferry. A policeman interfered,
but did not arrest them, not wishing to
detain them in the city. He advised
them to make up the quarrel and travel
on.
When they arrived at the immigra-
ton office, Superintendent Noteware got
hold of the affair, ane after while man
aged to bring up the subject of the quar-
rel. He advised the widows brother to
let the quarrel drop, and let the marriage
take place without any interference. Ev-
identity he wished to get control of his
sisters money, or else he thought that
J-n was merely trying to marry her
in order to swindle her. However, after
some considerable talk, he finally con-
scented, and the marriage was agreed to.
The emigrant party wished it to take
plsce outside the city limits, beneath the
blue sky of heaven. The license was
accordingly procured and the services of
minister secured, and, with Col. Note
ware, who had been invited to participate
in the festivities, they proceeded west
ward three or four miles, where a lovely
spot of shade was selected as the scene
of the wedding. The ceremony took
YOlooo in tho of fha hlo6
party, some twenty-seven in number.
After it was over Col. Noteware and
the minister babe adieu, and returned tc
the city. The party determined to re-
main over night at the place where they
had stopped for the tying of the knot
and to proceed on their journey toward
their destination next morning. 1t Is
safe to say that everybody enjoyed them
selves, as large lot of wine and cake
had been purchased in this city for the
occasion.
Yesterday Col. Noteware received q
letter from the young man, in which ht
thanked him for his assistance In helping
him to successful union with the wo
man he loved. He have detailed ac-
count of their trip, and further stated
that he had taken up homestead IN An
telope county, and had also purchased
eighty acres in addition, and was making
preparations for an extensive farm. ID
concluded by saying that at the time o
his marriage he had 81, 100, but did no
say anything of this until after the kno
was tied This was quite surprise t
his wife, but more so to his brOther-in
law, who had come to the conclusion
that he was not so mercenary as he ha.
imagined.
