YOUNG BRIDE
Arrested On a Charge
of Vagrancy.
Her Sad Story Touched the Courts
Heart-She Mas DISCHARGED,

Mrs. Cora Ostrander of Cuyahoga
Falls, l6 years of age, was arrested at
Cleveland Monday night on charge
of vagrancy.
She was found on the Erie tracks,
having started to walk from that
city to Akron. Her being alone in
such district at late hour aroused
suspicion. She is pretty and pre-
possessing.
After hearing her story the court
discharged the unfortunate young
woman. She was reared in luxury
in small town in the southern part
OF the state. Three years ago her
father met with business reverses.
Soon afterward both parents died.
Thrown upon her own resources she
decided to marry. Her husband, she
asserted, was a drunkard. They
lived together less than six months,
when she left him. Since that time
she has been travelling about the
