sILvERTON MAN DESERTS
BRIDE OF "a HOURS

The seeming efforts of man TO
| rid himself of the burdens of matri-
mony and woman's desire To stay
married kept the officers of our town
busy yesterday. Mrs. G. Harrison, a
bride of thirty-six hours was the her
oine in the case. 1t appears lonely
man in Silverton wanted to wed. A
lonely widow in Georgia had like de-
sires. Cupid brought about their ac-
quaintance by the aid of the postal
service, and the false god of romance
smiled on the proposed union. The
woman travelled to Silverton a few
met her and together they journeyed
to the altar to receive churchiy recog-
milton of the ties that bind. The day
before New Years the happy just
weds spent the day fitting up the new
home. In the early evening the hus-
band went down town for short
time-but at the appointed time he
failed to return. Midnight came but
not the husband. About O'Clock a
man who claimed to be one of her
husbands friends came to the door
and told her that her spouse had
wearied of her and ordered her to
board the early morning train for
Georgia. The frightened woman did
board the train, but not for Georgia.
When she reached Durango she ap-
pealed to the local officers for pro-
lection. This she received but she
was sent back to Silverton in the
evening where she was to be placed
in charge of Sheriff Pearson, who
promised to find the missing husband
and convince him that matrimony en-
tails obligations of more than twenty
four hours duration. The woman was
so excited over her experience it re-
quired the combined efforts of the To-
Cal officers to restore her peace Of
mind.

Cablegrams received by Col. w. s.
Hopewell and Herbert Green of Chi
caPo, from Georges Brun L. Co., the
Paris bankers who head the syndicate
of French bankers which has under
taken to handle the bonds of the Gulf,
New Mexico g. Pacific Railway COM
pany, seem to indicate that the final
obstacles in the way Of the immed-
late placing of the bonds have been
removed and that all details necessary
to make the money for construction
of the new railroad available have
been met.
The calblegrams received by Col,
Hopewell are in reply to messages
sent by Mr.. Green before his depar-
ture for Chicago, and accept propos-
ais made by Mr.. Green with regard to
the legaiizing of the bond issue by
the French government, making the
first issue of the bonds available at
once.
"The cablegrams received by Mr.
Green from Paris have been repeated
to me here" said Col. Hopewell, "ana
we are very much gratified, for as the
situation now resolves itself we are
assured that the first issue of the
bonds will be legalized and issued in
France at once. The money neces-
sary for that purpose will be cabled
soon.
"The adjusting of these details
will make it possible for us to pro-
coed without further delay in carry
ing out our plans and paving the way
for the immediate construction of the
railroad"
Before his departure for Chicago
Mr.. Green held an informal meeting
with a number of Albuquerque bust
ness men, to whom he outlined the
plans for the construction of the road
and explained the details of his con-
tracts in France for the floating OF

Among those present at the confer
ence were o. N. Marion, j. b. Herdon,

1t was stated that Mr.. Green and his
associates had withdrawn their pro-
/ posal that Albuquerque assist the
promoters by advancing the money
necessary to legalize the bond issue
| in France and feeling was expressed
generally that when the road is com
pleted into Albuquerque and trains
are running bonus might reason
ably be expected from this city.
The meeting was entirely informal
and no definite statement was made
but it is probable that the new rail.
