horck, former resident and cx-alderman Of
this city, post trader at Fort Lincoln, while
on his way to Minneapolis on train on the st.
Paul & Pacific railroad, noticed young and
neatly dressed American girl who was seated
near him. He entered into conversation with
her, and, seeing that she was very pretty and
of confiding nature, asked her where she
was going and if she was travelling alone.
She, tiattered by his manner and
the evidently great interest which he took in
her welfare, stated that she had been working
out at service and going home to her
parents. 1t was case OF love at first sight on
her part and by the time the train arrived at
Minneapolis he had, by his smooth tongue and
representations that he was very rich, having

suaded the girl to stop in this city with him,
| telling her that he had never met any one
whom he loved more and offering her his hand
| IN marriage. The poor girl, not suspectirg his

suspicious of the landlord, but not wishing

she was not married, but expected to be in a
day or so. On Friday morning the landlord
spoke to Vanderhorck about what the girl had

and look for another boarding place. but as he

was overcome with grief and shame at her DO

only small sum of money and her supposed

IS understood that the girl has father and
several brothers at home, and it is to be hoped
| that they will take the matter in hand and
give the scoundrel what he so richly deserves.
