The Red Cloud chief., 1882-03-02

poor old man unfolded a story Of 70
nance in real life that never occurs
more than once III a century. II seems
that Miss - was visiting friends in
san Francisco during the winter of
1889. She met Lieutenant Danen-
hover. of the United States Navy. a
noble specimen of manhood The Lieu
tenant was smitten with the fair daugh-
ter Of Los Angeles. They met often.
and the sequel was Don evident in a
desperate love affair. But the old. old
saving that true love never ran smooth
was never more plainly Illustrated than
in this case. For several months there
was n a happier pair in all san Fran
cisco. This earthly bliss could not last
long. however. The Lieutenant was
then under orders 10 sail with the i'll
fated Jeanette. Asthe time drew near
tn" sweet girl became sad AMI pensIYe
and il was a common thing for her Ia
meet her lover with fearful eyes. She
told him her fears, and pleaded with all
the ]eluquencc only known 10 a lovely
maiden. but her lover had been ordered
by his count 10 90 10 limos certain
death. and his honor would not permit
him to break his word, ever for the
being he wor,hipped. Tn" sad day Of
separation finally arrived and the two
devoted lovers parted. possibly neverto
meet again in this world.
This is the sad story told in brief by
the old cuachman who related his tale
with tears in his eyes.
Yes. sir said the old fellow. ''she
has been Il different girl ever since.
They had only known one another a
short time. but | don't believe two peo-
ple ever loved IL -! this devoted
couple. Why. sir, J. 'Ir;hcr said that
the Lieutenant came To- bid her
"ood-bv il took two o. his brother Off
ccrS To separate them when the mo-
mcnt of parting came. She tainted al
most IL soon a. he was ont of the house.
When she revived she ordered a car
riage and Immediately repaired to the
/ Cliff House. A soon a. she arrived
there she took 4 stand where she could
ret Il good view Of the Golden Gate.
Neither commands nor coaNing could
move her until she was satisfied the
vessel had passed mi 10 sea. After re-
turning to Los Angeles she led a re-
tired life. having been convinced from
I the HIST tldl she "bli!t H'NtI ~ h'i
lover again. She has never failed To be
up by daylight since the J%canncttc
sailed in order to read the telegraph
news. That. sir. has been the only thing
that has ever Interested her. When she
cot the Times this morning and read
the news from the Jeanette YOU might
have heard her screams almost
a mile off. The whole family
were in bed ut the time. When
they reached her she was in Il faint AMI
everybody thought she was dead. But
God wa not kind enough to put the
poor Girl out of her misery. The first
thing She said was: Mamma. take me
to san Francisco at once. She don
seem To know what she wants. but her
mother would start for the spot where
would ask it,
How old is she.?'
"She was nineteen last Octob--. hut
to look at her now YOU would think she
was at least thirty
The Young lady i well known i'll this
city. and up To within the past two
wears was one of the brightest and most
beautiful of Los Angeles bellies. Her
name is suppressed for the present, and
her unfortunate love affair is known by
but few. n the family has made every
effort Ia keep it quiet.
For the sake of the Girl. if for no
other reason. ii l. most d"voutly hoped
that the third boat with the gallant
Lieutenant and his brother officers will
vet be saved.
This is probably one of the Sadde>t
stories that has we been chronicl",l on
the Pacific coast. The Young lady : sad
history is very similar Ia Lady Frank
Inns. and She will undoubtedly receive
great sympathy from the feminine por-
tion of the whole country.-LoS -ImgcicS
