A special from Colorado Springs that
appeared in Mondays Denver Times
caused the Enterprise to loss no time in
getting after the alleged geoom. who was
in town tine first Of the week. but we
found a very lose-mouthed young fellow
from whom we could get no definite
answer beyond the statement that he
had not been married. As to the truth
Of the alleged engagement he would say
nothing. so he'll have to grin and bear
the reproduction Of the entire story as it
appeared in the TINES: q.

fashionable Rsthsrines which she and her
mother attended while In the Springs.
Several interesting features enter into
the situation and the circle At the Antlers
hotsl Of which Miss Flannsry and young
Lockhart wsrs leaders, express it as
an open secret that the two have already
been married. Thsir guess Is based on
the alleged fact that on Thursday last

Loekhart b managing his fathers ranch.
