MADE TO MARRY
AN INNoCEN COUNTRY GIRL FALLS
A VICTIM
To An Descriptions Man, Who Persuades

Promise of Marriage

To An Descriptions Man, Who Persuades
Her From Her Fathers Home with
Promise of Marriage.
Some time ago a man giving his name
as j. w. Sewell appeared in the lower
part of the county, His clothes were
Old and worn, and he had the appearance
of tourist, commonly called tramp.
He was repairer of watches and clocks,
and went from place to place in the
neighborhood plying his trade.
On Mr.. f. Nasworthy's place lived a
tenant by the name of Bush, poor but
hardworklng man. A prepossessing
daughter of II years was member OF
Mr. Bush's household, and she and Sewell
formed an attachment which resulted
in the young woman leaving the parental
roof without the knowledge of the old
folks and going eff with Sewel. Her
parents thought that they had ran away
and married, and gave themselves no
unnecessary cause about something they
could not help.
One day last week, however, after an
absence of several weeks, Sewell brought
the young woman back home and left
her.
In day or two her parents found out
that there had been no marriage, and that
Sewell had threatened to sill her If she
told chem that there had not been.
Mr.. Nasworthy and several other gen
tlemen learned of the affair and started
out to find the rascal. AS luck would
have it they came across him at Sasser
and. after giving him a bad fright by in
that some of the friends of the
young lady were anxious to swing him
to limb marched him to the Bush
home. He readily and anxiously agreed
to a proposition of marriage, ard, accom-
panied by Mr.. Nasworthy, he and Miss
B ash came to Dawson to have the cere-
mony performed. The knot was tied by
Judge +. M. Simmons at his residence at
10 o'clock at night, and they returned
to the home of MI Bush.
Sewell did not tarry there long,
as it is reported that Mr.. Bush
ran him off next day.
Such rasc ais shouldn't escape so light
ly. They deserve severe punishment.

GOOD DAY FOR THE TALENT
Three Fayorites and Two Second
Choices Min on the Island.
ALL RIGHT FOR ALL NIGHT
Starter Cassidy Gave Bennett Barnes Entry
Big Advantage at the Start Of the Third
Race, Which Allowed AL Night to Win.
Mary B. Was One Of the Winners.

A good-sized crowd patronized the Island
track races yesterday afternoon, and the
talent got considerably the better of the argu-
ment with the bookmakers. Brightwood,
Detroit, and Mary B. were all heavily played,
while All Night and Freezer received atten-
tion from many Of the knowing ones. There
were all sorts of reports out about Freezer,
the generally accepted report being the geld
ing was lame. Annorean was considered q
cinch under the circumstances, and there
were numerous howls of disgust when the
favorite was in difficulties q half mile from
home while Freezer ran like a race horse and
won rather handily.
But the showing of Jubal in the same race
was the great surprise, the old gelding lead
ing until well Strengthened out in the stretch
and then suddenly stopping, as If unwilling
to win. letting Freezer go ahead. There were
many expressions of dlsapproval anent
Murphy's weak finish on Jubal.
Probably the most remarkable race yet run
at the track was the third event on the card.
II was at five furlongs and run out of the
chute. Just before the race representative
of the reporters asked permission TO 80 up to
the starting post, but was refused seat in
Starter Cassidy's carriage. AZ it turned out
the start in this race was the worst of the
meeting. Ali Night being given fully half
dozen lengths advantage and the good thing,
which had been backed from eights to twos,
managed to win by half length. But for the
extraordinary advantage at the start the win
ner would hardly have been placed.
The opening event was won by Charley
Draney's Brightwood in handy manner,
while Detroit carried the bulk of the money
bet in the second race home TO victory. An
norean's price for the fourth was a: odds on,
but the mare failed to run up to form, and
was beaten off. Freezer getting the verdict.
Mary B. was out for the money in the last
race. and she got there in a tight fit by
head from Meadows. with Jim Pagan an in
different third. Summaries:

Only Two First Choices Managed to Score

CINCINNATI, June 16. Seven races were on

caused the third race to be drawn Off. The
track was very fast. In the second race the
mile was made in a quarter of a second Of the
track record, and in the last the Latonia
record, 1:l4 for six furlongs, was equaled.
Five thousand spectators found little satis-
faction in the sport. for only two favorites
won, Lazzarone and Salvation, tho former at
prohibitive odds. Lazzarone was in splendid
form and he galloped away with S3, 800 Him

bilious thus far Mr.. Shaw Is much ap-
precated as a Washington musician. though
he has for some time been living in Richmond.
The Strakosch company has the opera under
active rehearsal. and the prospect is for q
smooth and even production. The name of
new aspirant is ''yuur Bril-, or the Evil Eye"
Washington has frequently been the scene Of
dramatic first productions, but it is the first
occasion in a long time in which professional
production of comic opera has been made
here. After considering both hbrefto and
music carefully Manager Strakosch had no
hesitation in giving it place for a weeks
production among the standard works which
form the repertoire for theSummer season. The
idea is an odd one, combining the picturesque
with a dash of the Grotesque and Just q
sprinkle of satire. A description of the Island
of Marken in the Zuyder Zee. Holland, first
suggested the story. The well-to-do but simple
people of the circumscribed dike-protected
islard preserve to-day the customs and tradi-
tions OF centuries ago. The libretto has it that
two little ones of that place, boy and girl,
were betrothed by their parents TO cement q
family friendship. The boys family goes to
America and grows up as one of the members
of New York society. His Dutch name. Der
rick De Hoogh. which Observation-Disclosures the
Knickerbockers themselves. and the wealth
which his father accumulated, give him ease
and social position, but he is sent back to
Holland 10 keep the troth plighted for him.
But the simple people of Marken know of no
such creature as he appears.
His clothes are not canny, and the legend
of Vuur-Bril OF the evil eye is at once sug-
gested by his monocle. There is no hesita-
tion in concluding that he is the verifable de-
mon, and from this complication springs the
comedy. frightened by various contingent ele-
ments in the legend and bits OF collateral in
cident. The east will be displayed to decided
advantage. as the work is evenly balanced,
both in distribution of the music and Of the
actors. John Z. Bell will, in addition to the
stage management. have the part Of the
young man from New York and Maurice
Hageman that of the burgomaster. The tenor
role will be taken by Huntlsy. and petite and
Siriish Miss Moore, who sang Girofe-Girohs
SO acceptably some time since, will have the
soprano part Miss Madgie Deane is the SOU
brette, and J. K. Adams is a peasant lad
whose life is made miserable by bis sweet
hearts flirtations. Alice Hosmer has a strong
character part, and Miss Travers will appear
as the captain of the soldiery. The rehear-
sails, under the able direction OF Mr.. Machette,
have made rapid and substantial progress.
The music, in the opinion of Manager Stra-
kosch, ranks with the best Of American COM
position in this field In technical finish a.
well as in melody.
1 hope, with the best Of foundation, that
this new aspirant will have glittering first
success and rosy future. q. O. B.
