PRETTY ROMANCE ENDS
IN HAPPY MARRIAGE
Local Mining Expert and Hospital
Nurse Wed After Many
Trials.
Marriage Licenses.
5127-Aubrey l. Eagle, Nampa, Ida.
Miss Victoria Campbell, Ely.

This is the announcement of a
marriage license issued in Salt Lake
Monday. 1t is brief and pointed, and
without detail, but behind this an
nouncement, bare of features. lies a
story of romance as keen in its
human interest, as any that ever
found it's way into a popular novel,
from the mind of an imaginative and
versatile writer
The story is one that deals with
three states, search for wealth, a
battle for life, chance meeting
when one of the actors was in the
shadow of death, the growth of
friendship, it's development into love,
and as final denouement, happy
marriage.
The actors in the story of heart
are A. Irl Eagle, popular mining eX-
pert, Greek letter man, college ath-
lete, and clean, honest citizen, and
Miss Victoria Campbell, good woman,
trained nurse, and society favorite.
The first scene of the romance may
be said to lie in the pleasant wales Of
mining camps of Nevada. Eagle, who
had completed his work at college,
where he had won renown as a
scholar, had also won renown as an
athlete. He had stood at the top OF
| his classes in college, and had won
scholarships and gold medals during
every year of his schooling. He had
earned his own way through college;
he had become intercollegiate track
and field champion of the northwest,
and had completed in two and one
half years, the prescribed four years
course of study.
Then he entered the mining field
| for which he had prepared himself
He was successful to a marked ex-
tent, and then reverses came, which
robbed him of the fruits of his toll
But A. Irl Eagle was not a gutter
He was made of better stuff. The
same determination that had made
| him the hero of the track and field
the same determination that had
caused him to crowd into two and a
half years the work of four years at
college, led him to look for other
fields when his hopes were dashed
by misfortune.
Nevada was then in the height OF
her glory. 1t was then that Eagle
looked in this direction and deter
mined to come to the land of prom
| Use. He saw here a chance to wrest
from the bosoms of the hills the
treasure he had lost in Idaho--but
he did not dream how great would
be the reward for his perseverance
and pluck.
/ Eagle came to Ely. last January
He worked with the same dogged
persistenee that had marked his early
struggles. The struggle continued
here. Eagle was not SO successful as
he had hoped to be, and his disap-
pointment was keen.
Then foul fortune followed, and
Eagle was stricken with pneumonia
His case was most serious one and
for weeks he hovered on the brink
of death.
| Friends removed him to the cpun-
| " hospital here, where Miss Victoria
| Campbell was detailed to care fol
Eagle. For days he lay in a semi.
conscious condition. For days and
nights the fever ragged and his
strength gradually failed him. Har
DIV as was his constitution, rugged as
he was by reason of his athletic
training and clean living, the disease
made fearful inroads and it was
thought that he could not recover.
| But with true professional instinct
the life saving instinct, Miss Camp
bell brought all of her scientific train
| ing to her command, and laboret
