story of lacerated affections and sad
disappointment in not securing a life
long companion and husband the mau
upon whom she had set her heart; hopes
shattered even after she had purchased
her trOUsseau and made all preparations
for the happiest event in her life are told
in a breach of promise suit filed in the
Superior Court this afternoon by Ysabel
Dolores Neil against Milton Shrek for the
recovery of $1,000 damages.
The plaintiff, a charming brunette of five
and twenty summers, was formerly pop
ular belle of san Bernardino, where she
met Milton Shrek. VINO was prominent
and wel!-to-do young business man of that
section, and their story of courtship is one
wherein love played not wisely but 200
well.
The young woman's complaint prepared
and filed this afternoon by Attorney
George Z. de Cola recites that marriage
contract was entered into in Oakland on
or about November z5 OF last year
when in consideration that the plantlff,
who was then sole and unmarried, would,
at the request Of the defendant marry
him on his request, within reasonable
time; the defendant then and there prom
ised TO marry the plaintiff Wlthln rea-
sonabe time" The plaintiff AYERS that
she placed implicit confidence in defend.
ants promise and has always remained
unmarried and has always been ready
and willing to marry the defendant, and
that she is even now ready and willing
HowS-er in the month Of April last,
Miss Neil evidently believing that the
expiration of q reasonable time was close
at hand popped the question for her erSt-
while lover and requested him to fulfill
his promise of marriage; but the young
mans thoughts of love had evaporated,
and ne point blank declared his refusal to
fulfill the promise.
But. according to the complaint there
was more than love pure and simple IN
volved in the negotiations between the
Young couple, for al the time OF the max
ing of the promise of marriage shrek
was a man Of wealth and means, owning
property including two valuable lots To-
Gated In this city, and these the defend
ant as part of his contract, promised
to convey to the fair plaintiff as her home
and as her separate property; but in this
he was no less dilatory than in the fulfill
ment of the marriage. In conclusion says
Miss Neils complaint
THAT by reason Of and because of the
refusal Of defendant to fulfill his afore-
said promise of marriage. and to keep his
contract plaintiff has suffered and been
injured and still suffers greatly in mind
and body and has been injured by loss of
time in preparing for said marriage; has
suffered great injury to her prospects in
life and 10 her feelings and affections, and
her pride was thereby greatly wounded,
and she has suffered from impaired health
occasioned by acts of plaintiff since the
said promise so made by defendant.
That by reason of the premises and of the
breach of contract of defendant, and of
the refusal of defendant to keep his agree
ment as aforesaid, this plaintiff has been
damaged in the sum of $4,000" Where
fore she asks judgment for damages to
that amount. incidentally a lis pendens
erty of Shrek. who at present is engaged
in business in San Francisco.
