Death-A Sad Starry

A Betrethed Young Lady ForctoId Her
Death-A Sad Story.
TACOMA CIV. IT,, August 1lth.-Hannah
Peterson was buried Friday. Her death
was surrounded BY peculiar circum-
stances and preceded BY a strange pre-
sentiment, which unfortunately became
true. She was young woman, % years OF
age, and came to Tacoma from Sweden last
May. Back in Stockholm Hannah had
been very poor. Her parents were dead
and all the poor girl had was scanty liv-
ing made with her own hands. In the old
country there did not appear to be means
enough between herself and her intended
husband to provide for their little home.
After consultation it was decided that he
should come to America TO make a home
for her here. The parting was an affecting
one. The lover was going thousands OF
miles away into strange land and they
might never see each other again. He
sailed. This was two years ago. The
young man came to Tacoma. He work
early and late and slowly saved up consid-
erable money.
Last winter he sent his betrothed enough
money to come to Tacoma. She arrived
and in May Hannah Peterson and her lover
met again. The happy young woman lived
in the family of ]. T. Saunders. 4 few
weeks ago Mrs. Saunders was taken i'll
with typhoid fever. Hannah Peterson
took care of the house and nursed her
faithfully.
One day last week Hannah had pre-
sentiment that she would die, and that
Mrs. Saunders would recover. She could
not shake off the strange feeling. She
contided in her lover, and he of course dis
coursged the idea and joked her in an af-
fectionate way. She told one of the family
she would be taken down with fever and
never again go out of the house except in a
coffin. She kept the presentment a secret
from Mrs. Saunders.
The prophecy came true, and she died
within week. Her lover is heartbroken.
The physicians did all that was possible to
save her. but their efforts were futile, and
she died with the name of her lover on her
lips. They were to have been married this
fall. Mrs Saunders has been steadily i'm
proving since Hannah Petersons death
and will recover.

WASHINGTON, August 1lth.-The War
Department officials are greatly exercised
over the number of Gesertions from the
army, and especially rs it is increasing ey-
cry year. Daring the six months ending
June 3Oth last the records show az increase
of 135 over the number reported for the
corresponding period last year. For the
past six months of the present year there
were 467 desertions against 2o9 for the
same period in 1888. Fully seveu-eighths Of
the desertiOns took place during the first
year Of the enlistment. The importance of
these figures is appreciated by General
Schoheld aGd A6iu'aDt General keltUn,
each of whom nave given the subject much
thought and discussion lately. Some plan
OF action which will look toward q mOdifi-
cation of the existing articles OF war will
receive their earnest advocacy, and be pre-
sented to Congress. The numerous deser-
lions, especially from larger army posts, are
source of much anxiety 10 the officials, and
they will strike at the source of the evil if
such thing is possible.
Quite number Of the officers thought
one OF the oest ways TO break up the deser-
ton in the army would be TO put a stop to
soldiers doing so mach extra work When
man enters the army he expects TO be-
come soldier. When he finds that in
addition 10 the duty of soldier he has TO
do all the work around the garrison and
officers quarters, the soldier feeling dies

tunity, generally in the first year. The de-

TACOMA wv. ~, August 11th.-A stngu-
lar case was tried in Judge Patrick's Court
yesterday.

of e pretty Italian girl whom he hoped
some day to make his wife. In April Mar
tin Petreck, another Italian, appeared on
the field and proposed marriage, but the
young lady said she was engaged to
Santos.
Petreck thereupon asked Santos what he
woaid lake for his claim on her affections
He named $50 as the price and bargain
was speedily made.
: CoTdovs rslinquished his claim on his
fair counuywoman to Martin Petreck, who
soon found that the sale did not sell, as the
maiden did Lot lavish any affection upon
him. He then proposed to trade back, but
the cash was refused. He brought suit,
but the Court decided that the contract was
illegal, and Petreck lost his money.

Shot, Thinks Marriage Failure.
New YORK, August 11th.-At the time of
the first appearance here of the Wild West
Show, James G. Willoughby, otherwise
James, the Kid" became enamoured of
Lillian Smith, Of California, the champion
rifle shot, who was attached to the show,
and romantic marriage was the result.
After the marriage the bride was taken by
her parents to Connecticut, and not until
after several attempts didthe groom finally,
by stratagem, succeed in regaining her.
The couple have remained with Buffalo
Bill ever since. But it now appears that
jealousy has invaded the family in France.
Justice Hulselus, who united them in mar
risge. is in receipt of letter from Paris in
which the husband says that his married
lie Is failure, and asks advice as to the
manner of procuring divorce. Justice
Huiselus does not know what advice to
give.
