Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Prick nov ed rom
Dallas to Denver. Col, a couple of years
ago. Mrs. Prick became quite a favorite
it seems; her friends in Dallas were quite
shocked when they learned the lady
was suing for a divorce in order to mar
ry another man., who became in
fatuated with her. Mrs. Prick
must have given her admirer more
encouragement than the pretty actress
| who is playing in Oak Cliff. A Dallas
| Gude with a soft head, sent Ler a tray of
refreshments. On the tray was a note.
| The note was read. Who ever knew a
woman not TO read a note? In an instant
tray and contents were sent out OF the
/ WluuOW IUC NdlJtI SUOOu, DtJl luON NlGu
| establishment, as ii were, impossible TO
| move or to speak. He doubtless was not
| used to seeing amOrous young men treated
| thus
st will teach him something" the
| pretty Gor she was pretty girl said.
There was another sensation at the
''Oak Cliff" this latter more public. Mr..
Finnie runs a grocery store. lie and MS
wife came to town on business, leaving
| their l6 year old daughter to tend the
store. During the absence of Mr.. and
| Mrs. Finnie, one Caspon Cheshire, who is
employed as a grocery clerk n driver OF
| a delivery wagon for a firm near by,
| called at the Finnie place. From the girls
statement, he insulted her, she told her
\ father, who followed Cheshire to the
hotel, spoke to the proprietor and in the
presence of all the guests on the balcony
walked up to where the young man sat,
| and administered a first class hOrSe-whip-
| ping.
A. ]. Mooneyham is being tried for an
| attempt TO take the life of Mrs. Mary
| Casey, February last. 1t is claimed he
fired several Intellectual shots at her.
Mr.. A. +. Roberts, telegraph editor OF
| News, thought to take a swim in the nata-
tarium. While enjoying the pelucid
waters. someone was turning his pockets
wrong side out, leaving the newspaper
man poorer by $3.50.
IfDallas will donate the land, Bishop
Brennan says the Catholics will erect a
fine college, which will be conducted by
] the jesuit fathers.
( There is $4,000 still to be raised for the
erection of the contemplated market
house and auditorium.
The smoke stack at the garbage crema-
tory fell down striking one of the employees
causing him serious injury.
The first mad dog of the season has
been killed. 1t was kept by the owner,
until he was thoroughly convinced it was
mad. when he had the police shoot his
pet.
The Dallas site is very sympathetic
with the Kansas City Sunday Suns rep
bat cave. Some kind hearted gentlemen,
who thought it a great shame TO i'm
prison a correspondent" protfered to go
Oh Mr.. JohnStOn's bond, but, is said he
thought himself safer within brick walls,
and graciously declined the kind offer.
Mr.. II. L. StrOhm is behind the bars in
default of a pitiful bond $3.50. Mr..
| StrOhm came to Dallas, a stranger, pre-
iudice against the paper whose cause he
came TO plead, was great. First thing he
received was a t%hraShing. In front of
the Windsor hotel he was attacked by a
Dallas man who had been written up in
the Sun. Then he made the best fight he
could for his paper, was indicted for
perjury, arrested and imprisoned, n it
does seem if the paper had the gratitude
it should have, it would ante up the cash
for the release of these two men.
Tomorrow, at 6 p. m. in the Presbyterian
church, Mr.. Seth Miller marrieS Miss
Kate Hardie. Mr.. Miller is a nephew of
been representing Arbuckle Bros, coffee.
