PRIESTS BRIDE
WAS WELL LIKED
Sadie Moran Highly Respected
and Much Liked by Her
Ogden Acquaintance.

The marriage of Miss Sadie Moran of
this city and Rev. j. a. Ryan, a Catholic
priest, in Colorado Springs, was the chief
topic of discussion yesterday. Miss Moran
is well and favorabIy known here. She IS
a graduate of Sacred Heart academy and
the InteTmountain Business college. she
has had a splendid home training, and
vas popular among a wide circle OF
young friends. She was an enthusiastic
worker in her church, girl of good prin-
cipies and possessed of more than her
share of good looks
This esCapade in Colorado is sad blow
to the family She is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Patrick Moran. 5000 Adams ave
nue.. Her mother is almost Frustrated and
can look upon the marriage of her daugh-
ter to a priest only in the light OF last
ing disgrace and calamity.
The father is in the employ of the
Southern Pacific, and had full confidence
in his daughters good judgment All
throw the blame upon the man, and are
certain he brought undue influence to bear
upon the young girl to secure her consent
to the marriage.
Miss Moran went to Denver about a
year ago. Her reason for going was to be
near her younger sister. who was an in
valid. and who was being treated there
while living with relatives. WI n Miss
Moran was home on a visit during The hol-
idays she spoke much of Father Ryan,
but as she was jealous Catholic nothing
man first at a charity ball and later, in
company with her relatives, visited him in
a hospital where he was being treated for
tuberculosis. After that she was one of
the committee to solicit funds to send the
sick man to California in the hope of saw
ing his life
Some days ago Mrs. Moran received d
letter from her daughter begging her to
be =ealm and not pass judgment upon her
until she came home and explained every
thing. This was the first intimation what
ever that anything had happened The
message threw the family into a bad state
of uncertainty. The mother finally
guessed what had happened, and her
guess was confirmed few days later by
a letter from the younger daughter tell
ing of the eiopement to Colorado Springs
and the marriage of her sister to the
priest.
The relatives in Ogden feel helpless to
do anything and can only await develop
ments. Miss Moran was p years of age
and the man she married was 40 years. 1t
is the understanding of the family that the
Catholic clergy in Denver is to AXE the
matter in hand and there will be no sur
prise to learn that the man has been ad-
judged insane
