HARD TO SUIT,
Alliance Woman Goes West and
Then Decides to Come
Back East.

Alliance Leader: An interesting story
has reached this city, relative to a lady
named Lizzie Hershey, who formerly
lived here and according to the direc-
tory resided on East Grant street 1t
seems that the lady left Alliance early
last fall bound for Oregon, where she
was to meet a man and if everything
was satisfactory they were to be we'd
ded. While passing through North Da-
kota, the woman made the acquaint-
ance of another man and was so well
pleased that when she reached Oregon
she decided not to marry the first object
Of her journey. The wedding conse-
quently did not take place. The Da
kota man then senther funds and she
returned to that state. ostensibly to
marry him. However, this choice was
not agreeable and she began looking
around again for more congenial
party with whom to pledge the mar
riage vows. The story was disclosed in
this city by letter of inquiry received
by a prominent resident, asking the
financial standing and reputation of
George Davis, an electrician, who until
recently resided in Alliance, but now
citizen of Lisbon. Mr.. Davis is well
known here and is all right. Starting
as she did from this city it seems that
in her search for congenial companion
Mrs. Hershey had to send back to ALI
ance. In this she shows her good judg-
ment because Alliance men are the
best on earth,
