TO HER LOVE
EVEN UNTO DEATH
A Soldiers Sweetheart, Who
Preferred the Grave to
Inconsistency.

There has been many a sad, pathetic
story connected with the return to their
native land of the men who forsook every
thing to defend the honor of their coun-
try in the far-off Orient, but nothing that
has yet been told contains such heart
rending, tragic interest as does the story
which will this morning cast its pail of
sorrow over the homecoming of Private
Mack Langton of Company of the First
Colorado Regiment. The only consolation
left him will be the knowledge that tho
object he most cherished deserved to be
dearest of all, and that the girl upon
whom he had staked his heart remained
true to him until her own was pierced by
the bullets fired by a murderous rival.
Three years ago Maud McConkey CT
Denver met Mack Langton. the son of J.
c. Langton, one of Denver's most prom
inent citizens. At first sight the young
people fell in love with each other. They
associated with each other constantly,
and when Langton enlisting in the Colo
rado regiment, marched away to the
wars he left behind him the sweetheart
who had promised to be his wife If he
should return alive to claim her. Soon
after the young soldiers departure a fell
low by the name Of Charles Bond ap-
peared on the scene and commenced 20
pay his addresses to Miss McConkey. The
fact. that he was a divorced man and un-
welcome to the girls mother seemed to
be no obstacle to a passion which was
only famed to a more furious heat by
the attempt made by the young lady her
self to wave 1T away.
The more opposition he met with the
more persistent he became, until his at
tentions to the young lady ceased to be
alone matter of embarrassment and be-
came a matter of uneasiness as well.

appointed spot and telling her if she did
not he would force his way to her. The
frightened girl complied: She. left her
home at about o'clock in the evening
saying she was going to the residence of
a friend, and was never again seen alive.
The following morning Bond was discov-
cred at the corner of Thirty-Second and
Clear avenues with a bullet in his chest.
He was at once taken to the Receiving
Hospital, and there, believing he was
about to die, confessed to having muir

progress could be made If more ag-

that it will take years of campaigning to
accomplish the work.

SOLDIERS GLAD
TO GET BACK
Colorado Volunteers Paint a
Dreary Picture Of the
Philippines.

The Colorado boys were glad to get
home to America, and they shouted that
fact to everybody as the launches and
tugs bearing friends and newspaper men
hove in sight and made fast to the side
of the transport. AS soon as the word
was passed that within an hour the trans
port would be within the Golden Gate a
cheer went up that did not die away until
the last of the tugs which bore the well
coming crowds had headed for the shore.
Its good to talk to Americans once
more" shouted one of the soldiers. Why,

Another one cried out to a friend whom
he had recognized in the throng on the
deck of the Fearless: This seems more
