Miss Isis V. Charlesworth, the IL
year old daughter of Attorney and Mrs.
John r. Charlesworth, eloped to Pu-
eblo Sunday last week where she was
married to William L. Courtright, of
Virginia. at an early hour last Mon
day morning.
The marriage is the elimination Of
a romance which found its inception
during the military service of the
Delta Company OF the National Guards
in the strike zone. Fear OF parental
objection was the direct cause of the
runaway. While Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
worth had strong suspicious of the
coming relationship between the
young couple, they did not anticipate
the elopement, as the groom had
written promising TO visit Delta this
month.
Mr.. Courtright is 25 years of age
and a graduate of the Johns-Hopkins
university of Virginia and of the Van
derbilt university of Tennessee. He
is an athlete and during his college
career was a star football player on
the teams of both schools His mother

land owners and belong TO one of the
very prominent of Southern families.
November last, while Company G
of the local guards was in camp at
walsenburg. Mr. Courtright and a
chum of his. Robert Bogue, sought en-
listment in the service. He selected
Company G because of its location in
the western part of the state. Ac'
cording to all reports he developed
into good soldier. always courteous
and attentive TO duty. which resulted
in his rapid promotion to the office
of sargeant. He became a great favo.
rite with every officer and man in the
company.
Miss Charlesworth visited the strike
zone with her mother in December
As the company was stationed at Oak
dale mine. she proceeded TO that place
and the young couple soon became
attached to each other. Sergeant
Courtright escorted her to picture
shows and dances, and still her par

this way she managed to get a portion
of her necessary clothing away from
home. At various times she wrote
for additional articles which were sent
to her without suspicion Sunday
morning last she left Austin and ar
rived in Delta on the North Fork train.
She remained in the coach unobserved
and continued her journey east. She
arrived in Pueblo Monday morning
and was met at that place by Mr..
Cour1right and Lieutenant ]. NJ
Lamme, of the medical corps. The
prominence of the latter aided in pre-
venting suspicion. and through him
lthe-Seense was procured and the mar
riage solemnized.
The young couple have not decided
where they will locate, but il is hign.

home of the groom in Virginia.

we both left our happy little home
place to help fight the great battle of
captivity and just freedom for our
country. Morten turned his face
toward the south, while | silently
journeyed toward the north. We
fought many hard fights but the one l
will remember as long as live was at
Spring Fork, not many weeks before
the close of the war. We pitched our
tents at Spring Fork, and had decided
to camp there for few days. We
rested very well that night, but the
next morning found the camp in a
general stir, for the boys in gray were
surrounding us and dared us to open
fire. but thank goodness there was not
a boy in blue who would stand for
such dare, and so the saddest of all
battles began. Men fell on both sides,
horses plunged in every direction,
and the din of battle reverberated
through the dense forest which lay all
about US, but some time had passed

gray. A strange feeling passed over
me, reeled and almost fell, and in
my mind | could clearly see the face
of my mother, and at her side was
Morten and each Clasping wrinkled
and trembling hand which was ex-
tended to US and then-then-Oh
what happened! My brother in gray
reeled and fell, and imagined |

life giving breath, but | could not
stand in my place and longer take the
lives l had not the power to give, SO

meant so much to me. knelt beside
my only brother, he told me what to
tell mother. and then he passed away,
and such a passing only the silent
soldier boys understand.
A few days passed and then went
home to mother. went into the

that smiling face, that patient, ever
trusting soul, but she was gone.

My heart is bleeding, my breath is
getting weaker and fainter all the time,
and so the one that finds this little
note, just place me beside my boy in
