AN EMIT.
! Much Married saratoga Ma
Eiopes with "A Young Girl.

Charles Funk, a carpenter. aged about
80. ran away on Saturday with Abbie
Judd, the 16-year-old daughter of a Sara
toga merchant. Funk formerly lived in
Cheyenne and is said to have two wives
living at the present time. He says he
has been divorced from them but it is
known that at least from one of them he
has no legal separation.
Since Funk has been living in Sara
toga he has been paying attentions to
Miss Judd and has succeeded in having
the girl become completely infatuated
with him. Her parents discouraged
Funk and forbid his proposed marriage.
On Saturday Abbie went to the ranch of
a Mr.. Savage, two miles from Saratoga,
where she was joined by Funk and the
two started for Rawlins.
A telegram to Sheriff Hadsell secured
Funk's arrest before the marriage cere.
mony was performed. He had secured
a license and in doing so had sworn that
the girl was of age. Funk was given a
hearing on the charge of fraudulently Sc
curing a license and was bound over to
appear at the next term of court.
Funk and Miss Judd declare that they
will get married in spite of law or
parental restraints.

HIS RELEASE SHOCKED HIM.
A Former CHEYENNE Man Sentenced to
Lie imprisonment Is Pardoned.

In 1878 Henry Boesche, who was liv-
ing in Cheyenne, moved to Green River,
where for some time he kept a hotel and
restaurant. Boesche's companion was a
woman named Cora Densley with whom
he had eloped from Providence, r. L.,
DESERVING his wife and chlld. Boesche
made money in Green River and was
evidently prosperous and contented. In
less than a year, however, Mrs. Densley
deserted him, taking $1,000 worth of
bonds and 81, 500 in money from his safe
when she left.
She went to Pawtucket. r. l., where
she gave the money to her husband,
whom she had LETT when she eloped with
Boesche. and the reunited couple bought
the Park hotel there.
As soon as Boesche got sufficient money
he followed Mrs. Densley East, and,
calling at the hotel, asked to see her. She
came down the stairs and he shot her
dead. He pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to life imprisonment. Last
week he was pardoned.
By whom Boesche's pardon was asked
is not known and the prisoner was as
much surprised as anyone when informed
that his freedom had been secured. The
New York Sun says:
The pardon was conditional on the con-
vict's leaving the state OF Rhode Island.
and Roesche vas informed that he was
free to 90 where he wished, so long as he
did not enter Rhode Island. A sum OF
money was handed him, and with a shake
of the hand he parted with the only person
he had known outside or the prison fol
fifteen wears.
The man looked about him-all ways
were the same-and with head erect,
strobe off as though he was on his way tc
some home where a mother or vile would
welcome him after all those long years.
Since his incarceration his parents had
died. his wife had married again, and
even his son, a boy Of seventeen, did mol
know OF his pardon, and Roesche himself,
thinking that the rest OF his natural life
was to be spent behind the prison bars,
was SO overcome that the shock of hearing
his pardon read nearly made him insane.
Il can't understand it at ALL" he said
last night. Il never thought to leave
that prison alive. They should let a man
know when they are going to do such a
thing as give him freedom. 1 have not
been in my right mind since. The shock
tho feeling that you are free-it is toe
much. 1t is cruel.
Il don't know what to do. or where to
go. Life has to be begun again with me
See, my hair is thin and white. When
was sentenced to lite imprisonment it wa
black and curly. My wife is married
again. l Am dead to everybody. l shal
try to go somewhere to forget every
thing"
The released man said last night h
thought he would go back to Wyoming
and begin life anew, but the fact that h
had to leave his wife and son foreve
seemed to worry him more than the year
he had lost.

The Australian Bill Passes the Sem


The proceedings in the Senate yesterday
were exceedingly gratifying to the RepublI-
can friends of the Australian ballot system.
On the first motion to substitute the minority
report on the Clason bill for the majority the
vote was 10 in favor to 81 opposed. There
are only four Democratic Senators, SO that II
they had all voted in favor of the substitution
1t would still have been defeated. The mo-
tlon was therefore defeated by Republican
votes. Then followed a motion to accept
the majority report, which was carried by
the same vote of 81 to 10. Senator Spear
then moved to amend the Clason bill by sub
shutting his own. The chief difference be-
tween the two is that Mr.. Spears applies
the system to the whole State exclusive of
plantations. This was adopted by vote of
Il toe. The Senate, therefore, by Republl-
can votes, with no assistance from Demo-
Gratis that it could not have done without,
has adopted the Australian system and ap-
piled 1t to all tbs towns In the State The
bill now goes to the House, where its fate is.

A correspondent assures us that the
misspelling in this note is of such
a kind as to show that it was writ

crease the excitement or for a poor Joke.
No Italian couldspell stiletto with s.y". nor

tendency to exaggerate the number of Ital-

Inc fact is that the vast majority of the
Italians who have settled In Louisiana are
wellbehaved people. The Italian consul at
New Orleans, Signor Corte. probably states
thetruth when he says that the trouble comes
directly or indirectly from the fact that

We congratulate our esteemed contem-
porary. the Bangor Wing, on.the discovery Of
aRepublican paper in New York that has
expressed the opinion that the Australian
2 ballot hurt the Republicans in the last cleo
ton. The search must have been long and
tedious. The paper is the Allegany Repub.
lican, published once week at Angelica,
New York. and having according to Rowell's
directory a weekly circulation exceeding
$50. This great organ of the Republican party
declares that the complications of the Aus
tralian system kept so many Republicans
away from the polls that the Democrats were
able to elect majority Of the assembly. This
OF course is equivalent to saying that the rro-
portion of Republicans who were unable to
master the Australian system was greater
than the proportion Of Democrats, for had it
been the same the result would not have
been affected. Now why should the Repub
lican vote fall off more on this account than
the Democratice Are Republicans more ig-
norant than Democrats and less capable OF
understanding the new IsystemP Does the
Bangor Wing believe that? And If it does
not what is the explanation of the strange
phenomenon described by this great Repub-
Hcan organ whose weekly circulation ex.

legacy of debt which must be taken
