frills and thrills had nothing on the
war-like romance enacted in Jerome
which eliminated yesterday with an
investigation by Assistant County
Attorney Joseph H. Morgan. The
glory-crowned William Shakespeare
could never have dreamed of such
u plot as graced the course of
events in the little playlet laid
down in the smelter city as a scene.
About a month ago there came TO
Jerome from Austria 4 buXom dam
sci of that nation. 1t was hardly
her name but her charming features
from an Austrian eye which attract
ed the attention of Bob Radocvich
to Annie Cauzlorich, the Juliet of
the play.
Miss Cauzlorich came to Jerome
to reside with her cousin, Mrs.
Frank Schwab. When Bob became
enarmored of the maiden, to all
appearances his affections were re-
ciprocated. So warm and ardent
was Bob's courtship that on last
Wednesday he capped the climax.
That isn't to say that he proposed,
for proposal is quite a useless
thing in the array of Austrian GUS
toms. But Bob went one step far
Their from a logical standpoint, he
produced the coin.
By accepting the sum at Sl05, the
Juliet practically cinclcd the matri-
monial bargain and extended her con-
sent to the engagement. With the
500 she was to purchase a wedding
ring, trousseau or anything else she
saw fit. The other S. was to be
paid as marriage fees.
Oh bliss Bob went about his
work in the smelter the next day al
most in a trance, and floating
through the seventh heaven of JOY.
After work. he proceeded to his
home and donned his glad rags"
TO make call upon his lady friend
for the purpose OF going out into
town and making the necessary pur-
chases.
At this junction the curtain drops
for the conclusion OF the first act.
Sometime between "Wednesday
night when Bob made good his
sincere intentions towards Annie,
and Thursday evening when Bob
came strolling along absolutely and
undeniably in love with the world
and Mother Nature, something hap
pened. 1t seems that number OF
other Austrians. among them Mar
tin Blaine, John Turinc, Frank
Chasney, George Blaine and Pet
er Groseta, were bitterly opposed
to the Bob-Annie union. Jealousy
prompted their scheming. To make
a long story short, Annie was
thoroughly influenced into the be-
lief that she had made a ridiculous
choice and that an abrupt termina-
ton Of their friendship would prove
mighty appropriate ceremony.
Consequently imagine Bob's sur
prise on Thursday night when in
stead Of being greeted with fond
reception, his prospective bride OF
fered him back his money and told
him that all was off between them
Bob first was dazed. Then he re-
covered and told her he thought
she was joking. But she wasn't.
Bob flew into 4 rage and shout
ed: III kill you ii you marry any
of those other fellows. That's VIVA
I'll do" Blaine terminated the
scene by uncercmoniously cvictint
the ardent lover.
End OF act two.
Bob was sore, that goes withou
saying. Returning 70 his home, III
gathered about himself a host o
trusted friends among whom wcr
the four Ruzich brothers and sew
eral others. About $50 o'clock o
the same night, Bob and his arm,
prodded on by General CuPid's art
and darts, started upon the invasion
The Schwab fortress was heade'
for.
A dramatic writer always take
care to leave i scene, as the on
which followed, open to the Con
lecture OF his reader. However, t
