RELIGION TRIUxPHs OVER Love. - Some
few years since. Thomas Neville, a young
man of Canadian birth. courted and won
the daughter of Mr.. Mason, prominent
resident of Swanton but, as young Neville
was Catholic. the parents of the young
lady objected to the match. But the young
man renowned his religion and permanently
made his abode in Swanton. The marriage
was consummated, and up to short time
since everything passed of as merry as a
marriage bell. The iather-in-law set the
young man up in the drug business. and to
all outward appearance he was successful
in financial matters. On Saturday, the
18th the young husband disappeared, and
on Tuesday. Mr. Mason. the fsther-in- law,
received a long letter from him stating that
he must reconsider his former action and
return to the bosom OF the Catholic Church.
But be takes no advantage OF the. confidence
placed in him by the father in-law and leaves
wife, child and business and returns to Cam
ada. 1t is rumored that the wife is willing
to follow her husband into exile, but that she
is restrained by her parents.

OBITUARY.

About two O'Clock SATURDAY. afternoon
last, our citizens were terribly surprised
and shocked ut the announcement of
death having occurred in our midst. Franz
Brown. o Young man who came here from
Ohio about the 1st of June, died very sud-
denly Saturday. August 10th. 1873. His
chief ailment was dysentery. This was
brought on bv Overwork and exposure.
He was q very energetic and ambitious
young man. He and his brother had taken
claims here and he was over Jealous to get
his land improved. consequently he often
would work hard all day. scarcely taking
time for his meals. slept ON the prairies
with his team and drinking water that
was not wholesome. All these things
brought to bear proved to be too much for
him. Frank was about 26 years of age .
He was crippled when IA years old by q
piece of timber falling OF OF barn frame
and striking his left leg about midway
between the hip and knee. IL was the
first death that has occurred in our midst.
The bereaved have the heartfelt sympathy
of this community in this their dire cali
amity.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. MIR. Short. -Cimarron Pioneer.
