and MADE HIS Life

SOME A HISTORY


Young Otto Lehman. the gay Lothario
who was hustled hence by the police
department of Laramie some four
months ago. is again in trouble. as tbs
following item from the Denver News
of Sunday morning clearly indicates:
lotto Lehman, a smooth-tongued
lover, was wandering and shivering
somewhere in the cold world at 2
o'clock this morning while he was
wearing no apparel save an overcoat.
a man of the name of Mclaughlin and
an officer, without pity o. sentiment.
are responsible for sending this young
Romeo out into the cold night to have
his toe f%rostbitten.
mclaughlin swore III a warrant
against Lehman, charging him with
criminal assault on Ella Maud Tracy, a
pretty miss Of Is summers. Miss
Maud's room was in the third floor,
back, in the block, Sixth and Platte
streets. While the officer was going to

jumped from bed into an overcoat and

trouserless and frightened. The re-
mainder of Otto's wardrobe was found
IN the room, .
mclaughlin is not a relative OF the
girl, but swore out the warrant, he
says, in the interest of morality"
Otto was a resident of Laramie for
several years and was at one time in
the employ OF the Pacific market as de.
liveryman. He prided himself upon
his 'mashing' qualities and boosted
that no less than four married women
of the Gem City had fallen victims to
his winning ways.
The trouble which he occasioned II
the family of John Allen, who Is tie
s%tep-father of the girl Maud Tracy
mentioned by the News, dates back
about four months. Mrs. Allen and her
daughter Maud used to 20 to parties
and meet the viper and this clandestine
arrangement was probably carried on
for some time before John Allen be.
came aware that his home was a cuck-
ODDS nest. But the climax came, and
one night when she was detected she
boldly deserted her husband and vert
to the man Lehman, living with him in
the most brazen manner. This cond!,

London December Si.-The westmin-

article on the Venezuelan controversy
headed "a Way out" says: While the
question, inir!nsicaly, is not important,
Incidentally. 1t is Of great import that
Great Britain can not retreat from the
position she has taken up and that the
United States will not retreat from theirs.
The only method Of escape from this dead
lock which shall impose neither humila-
ton nor retreat on either side, Is to find
something which is not arbitration, but
which is as like as possible.
Continuing. the Westminster Gazette
suggests that both countries agree upon
a beard Of Cancellation. not binding them
selves as In the case Of arbitration TO ac-
cent It's decision, but on the chance OF
the conciliators being able to suggest
compromise acceptable to both countries,
In conclusion the Westminster Gazette
remarks: We firmly believe that couple
of impartial, sensible men, say the chiei
Justices of the two countries, could easily
settle the matter by this method.
