ROMANCE In REAL LIFE

Abandoned by Parents, Abused ny
Campers, Cared for by County,
Now a Bride.

About two and half years ago a
camp of itinerants camped out on the
Little Rock road and remained there
for some time, says the Fort Smith
Times. They had with them a comely
fourteen-year old girl named Lille
Hughes. who is a half breed Cherokee.
The family said that the child's father
had surrendered all claim on her to
them. They sent the child into the
city every day to beg, and it is claim
ed that when she returned unsuccessful
she was beaten numerically and de-
MED anything to eat.
One day the chiu was picked up IL
the street weak and utterly exhausted.
An investigation developed the above
facts concerning the manner in which
she had been treated, and Judge Nc
Clure had her sent to the poor farm
where she was nursed into good health
and strength
She was then placed Vith a family
named Hallum. living III Crescent
township, where She had a good horPe
and reeiprocated with willing and "a

Mcclure that the girl would fall into
good hands and he had John Fer2H-
son, superintendent of the poor farm,
appointed as her guardian. and as such
guardian the latter gave his consent
to the issuance of the license.
Serrano became acquainted with the
girl and was fond Of her when she was

was prospecting for coal. His early
/ fondness for the girl he knew, now
found in budding womanhood, became
a passion He loved her and his love
was returned. 1t was the first love the
girl had known in her short but hard

How He Was Caught
Hastily DRESSING the two gentlemen
rushed down to the Office and notified
the clerk at the desk of the attempted
robbery. The clerk was positive that
the thief was still in the building, and
promptly notified the police of the
matter.
Sergt Perry and Patrolman Price
We're soon on the scene. In the mean,
time another guest had reported tc
the clerk that some one had endeav-
ored to open the door leading into his
room, but had been bafled by latch
key. r:et
The officers went to room ~. whiCh

examination of the corridor and stairs
led Sergt. Perry to the same belief OF
the clerk that the thief was still in
the hotel. Proceeding to the cot room
on the second floor, Sergt Perry ran
his eye along the rows of sleeping
men. Stepping up to the first cot he
pulled the bed covering from the face
OF the occupant and looked down on
the features of Roxy Cannon. The Of
ficer knew him at once. Ten years
ago he had dealings with the noted
crook. who was arrested in the same
hotel by Capt O'Haryer for working
his same old tricks.
Roxy opened his eyes and blinked
up at the officer. He stretched his
arms in yawn and then. sitting up
in bed, he demanded to know the
cause of his being so rudely aroused
at that unreasonable hour.
Think l don't know you. Roxy

geant, and the veteran knew his game
was up.
At the officers bidding. he slipped
into his clothes and walked with him
to the police station.
Messrs. Tuggle and Patterson had a
look. at the prisoner and Immediately
identified him as the man who entered
their room.
i At the station he was searched and
the articles named found and taken
from him. He was then locked up.
His name was placed on the secret
docket. and he will be held pending

A new $40, 900 HOTEL.
leading Business Men of Willmar In.
terest Themselves In 4 Move
For FirStcIass House.

There are all sorts of rumors re-
garding the new hotel which it is pro-
posed to build in this city on the old
A. F. Hanscom property. corner of
Fourth street and Litchfeld avenue.
In an interview with Mr.. D. N. Tall
man, who is the leading spirit in start
ing the movement for the new enter
prise, we learn that it is proposed to
erect building to cost about $40, 1000.
A move has been made towards the
organization of stock company and
already the promoters have succeeded
in interesting large number of Will.
mar business men. Mr.. Tallman re-
ports that the leading citizens are in
favor of the project and that they have
subscribed quite literally. The pres
ent prospects are that a meeting will
be called in the near future, as the
sentiment is quite strong that hotel
OF the kind which it is proposed to
erect will be valuable addition to

to have been subscribed up to last
evening on a subscription list circu-

man. So far in the neighborhood OF
twenty business men had subscribed
quite literally.
At least two gentlemen in Minnea-
polls are figuring on securing the man
agement of the hotel. The renter Of

sufficient to pay six per cent divi-
dend on the cost of the building. Be-
ing connected with leading hostelries
in Minneapolis, the gentlemen are in a
position to give tho adequate service
in this city which a first class house
would command.
There is no question that Willmar
can support another good hotel in ad-
dition to those already in the business
here, and the investment made by our
citizens would result proftably.

Christmas Wedding Bells:

The wedding of Miss Minnie M.
Hennings and Alfred c. Carlson of
Eureka, Utah, was solemnized last
Thursday afternoon at the home OF the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chris
tian Hennings. There were about thir-
ty guests present to witness the cere-
mony, which occurred at four O'Clock.
Rev. J. P. Mccullough of st. Luke's
Episcopal church ohiciated, the cere-
mony being performed under bower
of evergreens and holly. The bridal
pair was unattended. Miss Gertrude
Booth presided at the piano and fur
nished the wedding music. The bride
was attired in travelling gown OF
dark green zibeline trimmed with white
broadcloth and carried white roses.
The house was beautifully decorated,
evergreens and holly, so appropriate
to the Christmas season, being the
main decorations. Cut flowers and
potted plants were artistically ar
ranged throughout the different rooms.
A wedding supper was served after
the usual congratulations had been
showered upon the bridal pair, and
the guests took their departure later
| in the evening after wishing the bride
and groom many pleasant anniVersar-
les of the happy event.
The relatives in attendance at the
wedding from out of town were Mr.
and Mrs. j. B. Irwin, of Richfield, and
Mr.. and Mrs. F. 81. Vale, of Minne-
apolis. Mrs. Irwin and Mrs. Vale are
sisters of the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlson left the next
day on a wedding trip to Marine Mills,
Minn., the old home OF the groom,
where his parents reside. From there
they departed for their new home in
Eureka, Utah, where Mr.. Carlson
again takes charge of the city schools
as superintendent.
The bride has grown to womanhood
in this city, and has large circle OF
friends who will wish her and her hus-
band all that goes to make happy
| married life. The groom is not a
stranger to some of our people, among
whom are numbered several classmates
from Gustavus Adolphus College, st.
Peter. He taught successfully in the
Cannon Falls school for three years,
at which institution his bride was also
! a teacher. He was at one time ateach-
| er in the Atwater school.
This paper joins with their many
| friends in extending congratulations.
