CUPID HAS A SPELL OF
ROUGH RIDING IN MONTANA

HELENA, Mont, Aug Helena
society and, in fact, society throughout
the state is discussing the latest de-
Selopment in the Kessler- Raleigh
Cochrane tangle, where there has been
but one bride-to-be to be divided be-
tween two grooms.
The story of the wooing and winning
of 'Tillie" Kessler, the daughter of
The millionaire brewer, Col. Kessler.
Is as fantastic as fiction and doubly
interesting to Montana as both SWANS
are known in adj parts of the west.
Albert Raleigh for several years past
has been known as a clubman and has
successfully held the post of cotillion
header in the state capital for 10
years past.
The son of once prosperous mer-
chant, Virginian and a graduate of
the Virginia Military institute, "Al'
Raleigh has been general favorite
with anxious mothers on the lookout
for satisfactory parti.
Three years ago the charming Miss
Kessler was attending Miss Ely's SEMI
mary in New York. At the same time
Raleigh was employed as a cartoonist
on the New Yory World. While in
Gotham they renewed the acquaintance
of their childhood days and their
friendship soon ripened into love.
They became engaged.
Meanwhile old Colonel Kessler, in
command Of the First regiment of
Montana volunteers in the Philippines
met Captain George Cochrane, of the
regular army. Capt. Cochrane was
also graduate of the V. NJ. l. and had
gained his rank in the army through
signal bravery on the field of action.
The two struck up friendship and
at the close of hostilities Cochrane
was stationed at Fort Harrison near
Helena.
About the same time the young
heiress returned home with her sweet
heart trailing in her wake. Then the
trouble began.

: LIBERAL ALLOWANCES
| FOR SCHOOLS

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. l-Propor-
Tomato to revenue and the assessed
valuation of property in the state,
Mississippi annually pays out more
money for education than any other
state in the union except Nassachu-
sets. The total state taxes for last
year were, in round figures, $1,000
600, and the educatione disburse-
ments $l,70O,O0O. The percentage will
be increased next year.
The negro is not benefitting to any
great extent through this large allow
ance for education. While the negro
race forms practically three-fifths OF
the total population, the blacks do
not take advantage of their education
al opportunities to the same extent
as the whites. The school term for this
race is often shorter than in the white
districts, although the per capita al
lowance is the same, and the salaries
of negro teachers is much smaller.

ting her off without a cent if she
married Raleigh. Capt. Cochrane read
lily fell in with the coloneps suggestion
that he make match with the daugh-
ter and a fierce rivalry ensued between
the two young men.
Raleigh, in fit of jealousy, boarded
a train for the east, swearing he would
never return. In two months he came
back only to find his erstwhile fancee
engaged to marry Cochrane Cards had
been sent out to friends of the family
inviting them to dinner at which
the announcement of the engagement
was to be made. That morning Miss
Kessler met Raleigh down town and
they were married on the spur of the
moment in the Photographic studio
of Maude Davis Baker.
That night when the guests arrived
they were sent away with the curt
information that Mrs. Raleigh could
not see them. Raleigh appeared on
the scene and was chased away by
the brides brother. From that time
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Raleigh have
never exchanged a word.
Cochrane challenged Raleigh to q
duel to be fought behind the natator-
ium at the Broadwater summer resort
and the challenge was accepted. The
friends of both parties, however, inter-
vened.
Two months ago Mrs. Raleigh Sc
cured a decree of annulment on the
ground of temporary insanity at the
time she contracted the marriage.
She resumed her maiden name. Raj
eigh left the city and is supposed to
be working underground in the Leon
ard mine in Butte trying to forget his
matrimonial troubles.
A few days ago Miss Kessler an
nounced her marriage to Captain
Cochrane, which is scheduled to take
place today.

NEW YORK, Aug. l.-While in this
