Bramel has been appointed receiver

Bramel has been appointed receiver
of the stock once owned by Jerome
Hirschman, an Israel-"light that fail,
ed" The stock consists mostly OF
shoes and his picture in the Tribune
would show that he was neither bare
foot nor shod." but now he revels in
shoes.
Bramel was always a joker and his
fertile brain was constantly inventing
some devilment. "Bilr' was most gal
liant to the girls, but as shy as a coun-
try maiden and it is said of him that in
his moments of deep anguish he COM
posed and recited poctry-verselets
which he dedicated to various fair
maidens.
1t is told Of Bramel that during the
high school days of 1886 in Laramie
that he Vas enamoured of one of Lara
mics fairest jewels who. alas, loved
another and he not knowing how to
win her. one day as the favorite sweet
heart was pouring out his soul on a
cornet, playing "Juanita" Bramel had
some Of his classmates seize the lover
and bind him with ropes to a tree be
fore the fair maiden's home, while he
passed by and went in to see the young
lady. The sequel was that the young
lady married another and loves young
dream "A dashed to pieces. the two
unfortunate suitors being still unmar-
ried.
Since leaving Laramie. it is stated
that Bramel has been writing a book
on Love and Matrimony,'' which he
hopes ONE day to give to the world.
The writer, while on a visit to Salt
Lake recently. was entertained by Mr..
Bramel, who then confided to him his
long cherished plan and permitted him
to read some of the completed chapters.
They were rather more practical and
philosophical in tone han romantic OF
sentimental. He has already written
some extracts for publication, such a.
"Reveries of a Bachelor THE Bache-
lor's Love Feast" Advice to Tilicums.'
etc, etc.
No doubt his literary efforts in this
Pine will some day shed lustre on his
fame.

WILLIAM HENRY BRAMEL
Laramie Boys Biography and Picture
in the Tribune Art Gallery.

The Salt Lake Tribune of Monday
morning contains in its art gallery"
the classic features of our well known
former townsman, w. II. Bramel, to-
gether with the following brief "biog:'
William Henry Bramel, who for some
time past has been a CONSPICUOUS figure
in the law emporium of Dey & Street,
is one of the best known young attor-
neys in the city. Mr.. Bramel was born
in Nebraska City, Neb., about thirty
years ago. The house in which he first
saw the light is now one of the points
Of interest" When quite young, Mr..
Bramel conceived the idea that Wyo-
ming promised a more fertile field for
his budding genius and he promptly
panied by his parents. About this time
Bill Nye established the Laramie
Boomerang, and Mr.. Bramel accepted
a position on the paper as devil"
Many of Nye's funniest stories were
written while Bramel was connected
with the office, and Nye often let him
ride Boomerang the favorite mule
with the sad-eyed expression. Bramel
is something OF a humorist himself.
Nobody loves a joke better than he does
If it is on somebody else. He speaks
several languages fiuently, and can
make himself understood in English.
He is also a mathematician of note.
Just now he is figuring on how much
the creditors OF Jerome Hirschman will
get. The snapshot of Mr.. Bramel as
reproduced above, was taken before he
was appointed receiver Of the shoe
store. He wears good shoes now
We are unable to reproduce the cut
but those wishing to see his familiar
c%ountenance will find the likeness stuck
up on the door OF our sanctum.
