An UNHAPPY BRIDE.
Fruitless Efforts to Escape from . Hus-
band of Three Weeks.

Fruitless Efforts to Escape from . Hus-
band of Three Weeks.
From the Kansas City News: An n
happy family left the city last night on the
Chicago & Alton train for st. Louis, whence
they will procesd to Kentucky, the homeo
the husbands relatives. All day yester-
day q man about 40 years old kept close
guard at the Union depot over q young girl
whom subsequent developments proved to
be his wife. The girl ri NOT more than
16 years OF age and wept continually. At
one time in the afternoon while the vigilance
OF her guardian was relaxed she escaped
from the depot, but was Dol hunted out
and brought back. Accompanying the i'll
assorted pair were four small children, .
colored waiting woman and a pet monkey.
Two OF the children were the children OF
the man by q former wife.
According to the story OF the middle
aged stranger, which was c~orroborated
by other members Of the family, he was
married to the girl three weeks ago in San
Francisco. The day after her marriage
the new bride ran away, pawning dia-
monds which were q wedding present and
cost 81 900. for s. in cash, in order to
escape from the presence Of the man she
had discovered too late she did not love.
The girl was caught, and has since been
under constant surveillance.
The stranger was well supplied with
money, and showed s., 1000 in gold coin
and large rolls of bank notes. He said
that he had just closed out a patent right
in San Francisco for $4,000. Nobody
thought to ask him his name, although he
seemed glad to talk to anybody who
would listen concerning his marriage and
his wealth. At different times during the
day he approached ladies in the depot and
asked them to talk with his wife and at
tempt to persuade her to become recon-
ciled. The unfortunate creature sat in a
dark corner OF the waiting room dressed
in the most elegant attire, apparently OBJ
livious to the world and lost in grief. A
stranger case.has never been met with at
the Union depot.

The Bear. Was Scared. Too.

Woodland Democrat: Green Hollings-
worth has received q letter from one of the
party who went to sissons a few days ago.
Lou Hollingswor5h and Thad Spaulding
went out hunting, taking an old bear
hunter with them. After getting into the
country where there was game they be-
came very cautious. Suddenly a large
sized bear appeared about $50 yards of.
The boys both ran for q tree. Lou was
almost in the top branches when he heard
a cry OF help from Thad. He was doing
lis best to get into the tree, but on &C.
count of his heavy shoe soles he was
unable to pull himself in. Lou slipped
back to help him and he fell out. By this
time they were SO much out OF breath that
they were neither one, able to get back into
the tree, and were just ready to fix their
footsteps and prepare for death when,
happening to glance up, they saw the bear
over half q mile away scampering over the
top Of the mountains.

Where is the Livingston Station Agent?

Wn0TG AB tho A1V1uk6eOA A60Ae.
It is reported at Livingston that the
agent at Laurel station is missing. This
station is at the junction Of the Rock Fork
with the main line. G. A. Lewis has been
agent there for some time. Since $50
Monday night he has not been seen. His
books seem to be all right. and nothing un-
usual in his conduct has been noted. One
theory advanced to account for his disap-
pearance is that the Indians have got him.
The station is only a short distance from
the reservation, and a short time ago one
of the Indian houses was fired and burned
to the ground by sparks from locomotives
on the Rocky Fork railroad. The Indians
have been to Lewis several times to make
him pay damage for the road, which, Of
course, he could not do. Monday they
came there in q hostile manner, and they
may now be holding him for ransom. This,
however, is only a theory.

Nearly Killed by a Notorious Confidence
Man ut Denver, Monday Night.

DENVER, Colo, July 30.-Colonel John
Atkins, manager OF the "Rocky Mountain
News" was assaulted in a most cowardly
manner as he was leaving his Office Mon
day evening, by JEFF, alias "Soapy" Smith,
a notorious confidence man.
The latter WAS accompanied by Banjo
Parker. The two stood by the Office door,
and as Atkins stepped out to take his car
riage, Smith spoke to him, but without Civ
ing him timeto reply, knocked him insensible
with a cane. and then pommeled him UNI
mercifully. Atkins skull was fractured,
but he will recover. He was unconscious
for a long time. Smith was arrested and
held in bail of $500.
The assault grew out Of the warfare made
by the ''News'' on the gamblers, saloons
and confidence men, and an article reflect.
ing severely on Smith, which appeared Mon
day morning.
