mated a few days ago in the marriage
of Richard J. Malone and Miss Mary
Hildreth at Caldwell kas
For several months previous 10 the
opening of the Cherokee strip to set
tlement, in 1898, a handsome girl could
be seen daily riding Il spirited black
horse at break-neck speed on the
plains south of Caldwell She was
practicing for the run for claim, anu
had fixed upon a beautiful valley claim
about six miles south of CaldWeli. VI
the opening of the day she was in line,
and as the signal gun doomed 1orth
her horse leaped ahead of the waiting
crowd, having been trained by her 10
jump at pistol shot. and she was soon
far in the lead Of all except young
man on bay horse, who kept almost
abreast of the fair rider.
Like the wind the two raced forward
for four miles, when suddenly the
girth of the saddle on the black horse
snapped, and moment later the tair
rider fell To the ground. stopping ms
horse, the young man dismounted ana
essayed to assist the unfortunate
young lady. She was unhurt, save
spraned ankle but she could proceed
no further owing to the broken sad
die. The crowd that had been left be-
hind was now almost upon them, ana
the young woman at once decided TO
stake the claim where she had fallen.
and urged the young man to hurry on
to a better place.
Although a stranger, he refused to
leave the fair one in distress. gave up
his hope for a fine claim in the valley,
and staked the claim adjoining hers.
The acquaintance thus begun soon
ripened into friendship and later into
| love- and before many weeks had

I years they waited. however, to pos
