declare her 20 be more than So years
old. but this may be envious gossip
Pc that as II may Miss wilder is much
older than the average damsel who

and elopes. Her parents say she 10
old enough to be able to decide for
herself, but her immediate family en-
tertain different opinions.
Miss Arnold visited City park and
was much Impressed with the gor-
geous appearance OF the Indians. She
had studied spanish and the couple
soon struck up an acquaintance. The
red man proved a strong attraction
for the woma and when he left for
his 'dobe home and his pony, Il was
with a promise to call again.
The promise la kept when Albino
returned to Denver a few weeks ago,
~ostensibly to a a visit to Scout
Charles Christy, who had been the In
dian policeman and Interpreter at the
park. Soon after his arrival Miss
Arnold began to pay visits to the
Christy home on South Twelfth street.
The grizzled old Indian fighter and his
wife protested against the turn the
relations between the two took but re-
monstrances were Of no avail. Ac-
cording to the Christys the woman
would call every evening and take the
Indian out for a stroll. This contin-
ued until interrupted by the redskins
departure for his New Mexican home
a week ago.
Before leaving Albino denied the i'm
parchment of his rumored wedding
and insisted nat he had nothing but
his pony and could not afford to mar
ry. After his departure Miss Arnold
announced that she was engaged to
Senior Chavaria and expected some

tic habits are or"
Albino has promised to return in
January and make her his bride. The
Christys will not have a hand in the
matchmaking. II Albino does return
with that intention, he will be com
PEELED to seek some place other than
the floor OF Mrs. Christys kitchen on
which to repose his muscular form.

At the Wilder home there Is grief
and sorrow over the hayward oours
