CHIEF.

The Denver Republican adds anoth.
er chapter to the romance OF the San.
Ia Clara Indian, Chief Chsysrria. and
Miss Arnold. the accomplished Den
yer girl who long ago confessed her
liking for the red man. The story is
familiar In New Mexico The Repub-
lican says:
Miss Cora Arnold is the heroine Of
q long continued love story that is
now nearing its closing chapter. With.
in few weeks she will either be the
wife OF Albino Chavarria, the Santa
Clara Indian chief, or she will bid
| farewell to him forever. For more
than a month Chavarria has been in
Denver at the home Of Mrs. c. G.
Seuter, No. 1922 West Eleventh ave
nue..
He came to Denver for the purpose
OF seeing Miss Arnold and the court
ship has been carried ON under the
most discouraging circumstances.
The history Of Miss Arnold's inter
est in Chavarria Is one OF the city
park romances which has become well
known.
In 1896 Chavarria first came to Den:
yer to camp at the park. Miss Arnold
went with the other spectators to
"see the Indians" Before long. how.
ever. she went TO see the Indian"
Ever since they first met the court
ship has been carried on and now both
are anxious to marry. But there are
obstacles.
Il wish you would not cay anything
about this until my plans are made" !"
said Miss Arnold yesterday. You
cant imagine all the things that have
TO be considered"
There was q puzzled, far.away look
in her eyes. Miss Arnold has very
pretty blue eyes my father objects
very much. He is making Il very.
very hard for me-"
Chavarria Is nne specimen Of In.
dian and reminds one Of the hero in
Helen Hunt Jacksons "Romona.
But Chavarria cannot speak English.
He is too proud to attempt English.
He has connded to Miss Arnold that
he could not bear to make the mis-.
takes In English that Americans make
In Spanish.
