One of those pleasing occurrences
which are peculiar to Western life,
and which impart a pleasure known
only to those who live on the con-
fines of civilization, took place at the
Union Guards hall last evening. MI.
Thomas Rodgers has been a Butte
bachelor for a long time. But his
thoughts have, for years, wandered
back to "Merrie old England
where he left q sweetheart whose i'm
age he carried In his heart. Not long
since he concluded it was a waste
Of life to be brewing his
coffee. and frying his bacon
and slapjacks when a word would
bring the idol OF his heart to his
lonely cottage IN Bate In a word
he tested tae love OF his sweetheart
by asking her to come to this far-off
land aud share with him the joys
and griefs and hopes and
dish ppointments of q miners life.
With that heroic courage born
of an undying love for the man
Of her choice, the young maiden
braved the dangers and:privations of
a seven thousand mile trip and
arrived in Butte last Sunday.
The sequel is told in = few
vords. Last evening Thomas

tried in a justice court from which
Judgment he appealed and gave

April, 1884, his bondsmen released
him, and in default of bail he was
lodged In jail till the meeting of the
