 Erorrn he Mar

Society circles in the extreme eastern DOT ton of Denver are at present convulsed over sensational case of miscegenation and elope ment which occurred in the city last Monday 1 night. The affair, with it's sensational fea- lures, leaked out yesterday and was 1mparted in confidence to 8 Neaos reporter.
 ] The parties to the elopement a very ! pretty white girl the daughter of J. D. Rob- ] inson, well to do stock grower, and a big burly negro named Noah Davis, whose hid eousness is said to be thing of record. Annie Robinson, the "heroine'' of the TO- l mantle affair, is a pretty blonde, petite and of most charming disposition. She is an only daughter and the idol of her fathers heart. Her great beauty and wonderful vivacity and intelligence gained for her a moved, and everybody who is acquainted with the facts of her elopement is grieved and saddened.
 The facts relative to the elopement, as learned by Neaos reporter, show how strong misguided love can be Mir. Robinson is the northwestern suburbs of the city in a pretty villa. His house and it's surroundings substantial and beautiful with every com fort to make them enjoyable. Mr. Robinson's family consists of his wife and daughter Annie. His business compels him to be ab sent in other parts of the State good deal of the time, and 1t was on this account that Mir. Robinson employed Davis, wishing to have trustworthy man to protect his family in his absence. This negro has been living with him ever since he took up his residence in Denver, nearly year ago, and during all that time he has been so faithful that MT Robinson placed implicit confidence and trust in him. Davis duties around the house constantly threw him in the way of pretty Miss Robinson, and until his elopement the watchful parents had no reason to suspect the intimacy which really existed between the pair. Miss Robinson, who is about IS years of age, returned about a year ago from 8 female college in the East, and has since been living with her parents. On her arrival in Denver she launched into society, and was soon the recognized belle of the circle in which she moved. She had suitors without number, and among them is a certain young lawyer whose suit she seemed to favor most, and it Is whispered that she even became his alliance. This young man is almost pros trated by Miss Robinsons nasty step, but he says he will recover her, if it Is not too late, from the hands of the hideous negro, and marry her yet.
 All went well at the Robinson home until Monday evening, when the absence of the daughter of the household was first discover ed Miss Robinson had left her homo in the afternoon to visit the residence of a friend, and on parting with her mother bid her good by. The fond parent did not foresee the horrible meaning of these words, and believing that her child was simply going on visit to a friend, did not pay much atten- tion to her. The afternoon passed and even ing arrived It was not until then that Mrs. Robinson began to feel anxious for her daughter. But consoling herself with the idea that the girl was enjoying herself, she did not allow her anxiety to bother her very much until o'clock arrived, and then the mother began to fear for her daughters safety. She went out to summon Davis to go and accompany Miss Robinson home. but the negro had also disappeared. search for him revealed the fact that he had left, taking with him everything that he had. Even then Mrs. Robinson did not suspect the ter ribls truth which was soon to bo so palpable to her. She went up stairs to her dsughter's room filled with fear and anxiety to await the coming of her darling. She entered the room, lit the lamp and sat down and endeavored to compose herself by reading While thus en gagged her eye caught sight of an envelope lying on dressing stand. It was inscribed 'Father and mother" With tears and per turbation Mrs. Robinson proceeded to break the seal. Inside was neatly folded note. Opening this Mrs. Robinson read the follow ing:
 DEAR FATHER AND MorHER-Forgive me for what I am about to do, but I love Noah and my duty compels me to take this step. Do not fear for me. I am all right. Do not try to seek me out. My destiny is unknown to anybody but myself and Noah When you read this will be far away. Do not tell Frank of this as he will be grieved. Good bye dearest father and mother.
 ANNIE.
 The note was evidently written very hasti- ly, as there were several large ink blots on the paper, and the pen used was lying on the mar ble- top table, Mrs. Robinson read the note through dozen times before it's full and awful meaning began to dawn upon her daz- ed mind. She was entirely helpless to do anything to save her daughter. She, however, telepraphed for her husband to come to Den. yer at once.
