the pitiful story of some shipwTecked crew

The picture of distress given to us by the

has been rarely equaled. They were ten days
without food, and during that long period
they drifted about in arudderless boat at the

found themselves in contains too fine an an

Cheyenne Leader: One of the pleas
antest men in the territorial council is
George w. Carleton, whose home Is in
Hillard. and who represents Uinta
county. Mr.. Carleton is one of the few
members from out of town, in either
house who is accompanied by his wife.
Both are well along toward middle life,
but they have only been married few
months. Thereby hangs - story.
Mr.. Carleton is one of the very oldest
old timers. He first reached Uinta early
in the sixties and was a government
official and recognized gentle at time
when it was popular belief among the
Mormons that there were no good gem
tiles on this side of the StyX. He was
soon singled out rs an uncompromising
foe of the polygamists. 1t was during
this time that he first met and fell in
love with Miss Snow, Il daughter of
Judge Snow, II Judge of the district
court. They were engaged. but things
soon got so exceedingly hot that Mr..
Carleton. to maintain his existence on
the lace of the earth. found it very ad-
visable to remove from Utah.
He finally drfted into Uinta county,
ultimately became station agent at Hill
lard and is now IL contractor in getting
out railroad ties. Mr.. Carleton, it APP
pears, met opposition to his suit from
other than Mormon sources. So, ,stgange
as it may appear, things remarked in
statu quo for period of twCntyCne
years, Miss Snow meantime became her
fathers clerk and was admitted to the
bar.
Last fall fate threw the old-time lovers
together again when their hopes bore
fruition in marriage. There is not now
in Wyoming happier couple or a
couple more esteemed or respected by
their neighbOrs.
