The Benedicts.

|. F.. Levey, one of the best known
travelling men in this section, treated
his friends to complete surprise,
when he returned from Denver last
night with bride, nee Miss Mary C..
Baarcke. The wedding occurred in the
state capital Friday morning and was
marked by quiet simplicity. Both
bride and groom were attired in their
travelling suits. Following the cere-
mony the wedding breakfast was
served at Bauer's. Later the happy
couple went to Colorado Springs,
where they visited the Garden of the
Gods, climbed Pixies Peak and cover
ed other points of interest in the vi
cinity. The romance which culminat-
ed in the marriage had its beginning
in Cortez, when Mr.. Levey who was
principal of the schools, wired Den
yer school men for a competent teach
er. Miss Baarcke was the young lady
sent to fill the vacancy, and the
friendship formed between the prin-
clple and this member of his corps
soon ripened into a stronger attach
ment. During the past two years
she has been primary and drawing
teacher in the Mancos schools. She
ID a charming girl, exceedingly popu-
lar with a wide circle of acquaint-
ances here. Durango people will ex-
tend her cordial welcome. Every

are seeking, they expect to begin
