A TUsCARORA ROMANCE.
A Unfaithfai wife EIepes with Fes'
tive Muie-Tickler.


The Times Review relates what is
termed in Tuscarora ''most romantic
affair" as follows:
about the latter part Of June or the
first OF July, man and his wife, old
residents of Tuscarora. left here with
their two children for the southern por-
tion Of California. For some time be-
fore they left it was notorious that the
conjugal relations OF the couple were
not as pleasant as they might have been,
and it was generally known that the
discordaut element had it's inception
in q Lotharian sagebrush hauler who
was supposed to have ensnared the af-
fections OF the tickle wife. 1t was, in
fact, reported that the woman had ex-
pressed her intention of leaving her
husband at Elko and returning to Tus-
carora TO share the fortunes, ETC., OF
the festive mule tickler. The woman,
however, accompanied her legal consort
to Los Angeles, where he established her
in q small but comfortable temporary
home, when he lit out for Arizona and
Colorado to prospect for favorable To-
cation for sheep ranch. 1t appears,
however, that the illicit fame which
had ragged in her bosom was only tenn.
porarily subdued and not extihguished.
After the departure Of her husband it is
supposed that she opened q correspond
ence with her Tuscarora lover, and that
arrangements were made for an elope.
ment. At all events he abandoned his
blacksnake and jerk.line and last Fri
day morning left here for Elko. She
arrived on that evenings express train
with her children, and the entire party
left on the same train for some un.
known locality in the East. On Satur-
day night the husband arrived at Elko
on the emigrant train from the East, he
having come from Denver. He was on
his way to California. and only learned
of the flight Of his wife with her lover.
on his arrival at Wells, although he
must have passed them on the road be.
tween there and Ogden. He expresses
his determination to follow them up
and regain possession, Of the children,
and the austsrs exprsssion in the eye
of the deserted husband indicates the
possibility Of sanguiRary finale to this
most romantic affair.

Faith cures are recognized by the
London Lancet, which says there is no
question that they are wrought. There
is no miracle in faith healing, but it
would be a miracle if faith healing did
not occur under favorable conditions.
The mistake that has been made is in
proclaiming faith cares as religious
function.

OBITUARY.

4 tribute oflovc to Lola Leonard,
beloved wife of p. 7. Bruce, who
died on the 18th of February, 1885.
Aged twenty years.
Again has the death angel de
seconded, and bore from our midst
a lovely flower. Scarcely a year
ago she came among Us a happy
bride, winningmany fond hearts by
her amiablc and aiiectionate dispo-
sition. She passed away in the
morning Of life, ere care or sorrow
had Swallowed her sunny life.
While yet in love with life, and
raptured with the world, she passed
to silence and pathetic dust, while
young life seemed so propilious, so
tantalizingly bright. Her voice Is
now still IN the silent hush OF the
tomb, and her loved presence has
passed from our view.
As the bird to it's shcltcrirE nest,
When the storm on the hills j.. abroad
SO her spirit hath flown from this
world of unrest,
To rcpose on the bosom Of God.
\ FRIEND.
