Man of Her Choice.

She Graves Death 60 Be Married TO the
Man of Her Choice.
An Indian romance which almost ri.
walls that of Pocahontas and Capt. John
Smith from Pine Ridge Agency.
William Jacobson, a young fellow in
charge Of Il of the classes at Carlisle,
eloped with Julia Beallard, an intelli.
gent quarter-bred Sioux. The couple
rode from Pine Ridge TO Chadron, Neb.,
On their ponies during the night. pur-
sued by the girls relatives oil the way.
They arrived at Chadron Ia the gray
dawn of the morning, thoroughly ex-
hausted, and at once proceeded to Sc
cure a license. Then, IN the presence
Of friends of the bride, they were made
man and wife.
The couple met about two 4 ago
at Carlisle, where the young woman
Was attending a private seminary, and
became enamored of each other. They
became engaged, but the girl received
O letter ordering her home to Pine
Rindge. The young couple kept up a
correspondence, fearing that their at
tachment would become known to the
parents Of the girl. who were very
much opposed to her forming M alli-
ance with other than a Thoroughbred
Sioux. a letter to the girl was finally
intercepted by a young Sioux adfnirer
and laid before the mother. Thereafter
not a letter was permitted. Becoming
alarmed at not receiving an answer,
jacobson decided TO 60 to Nebraska
and investigate. Upon arriving at The
agency he contrived a secret interview
with the girl and arranged an elope-
ment.
One dark night the girl stole forth,
end procuring a saddle horse from the
corral, slipped a halter over his head
and led him to the outskirts Of the In
dian village, where she was met By her
lover in a lonely canyon, near the his
torie battle ground of Wounded Knee.
Mounting their ponies. they started on
their journey to Chadron. The echoes
Of the hoof-beats awakened the village,
and a thirty-mile chase was begun over
the toughest country this side Of the
Rockies. The Journey was dangerous
and hazardous. The road at times
winds around precipices and rugged
cliffs and through rough canyons,
where a misstep might plunge the rid
ers into eternity. For four hours they
rode OH their ponies, expecting at every
moment to hear the cry Of their pur-
suers. When the lights of Chadron up.
peared in view the pursuing party in
creased their pace, hoping to overtake
the fleeing couple before they entered
the city. They failed in this attempt,
however, and the lovers managed 10
elude them.-Salt Lake Herald.

THE RAILROADS.

In speaking Of transferring torpedo
boats from the lakes to the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. l. P. Loree, general
manager Of the Pennsylvania lines west.
says that boats like the Mckenzie. one
hundred feet long, twelve feet nine
inches beam, and nine feet deep, could
be transported over the Pennsylvania
lines from Chicago to Cincinnati, pro-
vided the construction OF the boat was
such as to allow It to rest on two points
OF support without injury to the boat;
but boats of the Gushing type, 1888 feet
long, fourteen feet beam, and nine feet
deep, from Chicago to Cincinnati, could
not be carried without reconstructing
the bridges. The company could take
such q boat from Cleveland to the Ohio
river by erecting a temporary trestle
around q bridge, and BY practically
clearing the road for the shipment.
