4 WIDOWS HARD LUCK,
How Cowboy Triied with Her
Affections and Took Her
Dollars.
She Lost His Trail or His Name

Dennis.

Citizens of the West side have been
undergoing considerable excitement for
a few days over a domestic episode. a
few ago a dashing young cowboy came
in from the range, and after having a
good time generally about the city
finally took up quarters on the West side
to recuperate. lie had only been in his
new abode "A few days when his heart
was captured by a dashing young widow
in the ncighborhood. 1t was a case Of
love at first sight and it was noised about
the neighborhood that a marriage would
soon take place. All was JOY and felicity
between the loving couple.
The oil in the parlor lamp burned
low every night before the devoted pair
would separate. This state of affairs
lasted a couple Of weeks, when all at
oncc-aImost in the tWinkling Of an eye
the cowboy lover resolved to fee for
pastures new and accordingly packed
his blankets aud secretly boarded the
west bound tram on Monday for parts
unknown. Monday night he failed to
put in an appearance at the house of his
widow love and she Immediately insti-
tuted a still hunt for bin. But he was
not to be found. \ neighbOr informed
her that he had taken the eastbOuud
train a few hours before. This was a
sumner, but she resolved to follow him
to the door of death" On Tuesday she
armed herself with a bull dog revolver
and when the eastbound train came
along boarded it and started in hot pur-
suit of her truant lover. She had blood
in her eye and murder IN her aspect.
On arriving at Havrc she was informed
that her cowboy lover had not been seen
there or anyone looking like him. She
then decided to return to her home and
take another trail. On arriving here
Thursday she found a letter awaiting
her and on reading its contents she eX
claimed 10 tones Of anguish that "tht
devil has gone to the coast and bids mt
good bye forever
This treatment was more than SHIT
bargaired for when she took him in {
week or two before, and she expressed
herself pretty freely about the migrate
fulness of mankind in general and heI
cowboy lover in particular.
IL this dashing young widow had me
the cowboy on her return from llavrt
she would have made him dance The
"Fisher's ~hornpipe' before her bull dos
persuadcr and come back to her iiresid'
to renew the love he so suddenly cast oil
but he was not to be found, and she now
mourns the loss Of several silver dollars
which the alleged lover carried away il
his flight towards the setting sun. Irul
love seems to- have run pretty rough II
the widows case.
