pretty eighteen-year-old bride. Geor-

famous Dorothy Arnold case.
The distressed father of the young

Romance, Tragedy,
and Mystery

Atlanta, Dec. 12-Romance, trag-
edy, mystery of a ghostly nature
all figure in strange story which
has recently come to light in con-
nection with Bolivar Dent, young
Georgian, who was driven away
from his bride by the ghost of his
dead brother, to whom the girl had
first been engaged.
The affair, which is vouched for
its essential features by trustworthy
people, is perhaps the strangest
ever heard out side the realms of
of fiction.
The young woman was first the
sweetheart of Otha Dent a well
known and highly respected young
resident of Birmingham. They
were to be married at Knoxville, Ga.
where she was awaiting him. The
train which was to have b ronght
the young bride groom brought his
bloody corpse. He had been MUIR
cered by strikers in Birmingham.
The young woman who was to have
returned to Birmingham as a bride
put her wedding flowers on his
grave.
Sometime afterward, Boliver
Dent, a younger brother Of the
dead man, and also man of eX-
cellent character and reputation
met and fell in love with the young
woman. He had known before of
his brothers affection for her, but
had never figured in any sense as
a rival during his brothers lifetime.
At length Bolivar Dent won her
for his bride, and they were tappi-
ly married.
Then, one night, at least so Boil
var Dent has authenticity declar-
ed, the ghost of the dead brother
came and stood between linn and
his bride Boliver Dent thought it
was a hallucination, but night af-
ter night the dead brother came
back, so the tale goes, until the
couples separated.
They no longer live together, and
the ghost has ceased to walk.
