ALLIANCE WOMAN
JILTED BY LOVER
Arrived In Denver Looking for Fup
porl Fiance but He Could not
be Found There
The Denver Post of Monday c n
lained tbe following, regarding a
woman who lives near Alliance:
The course of "true" love never
runs smooth; at least, tbat is the
firm opinion of Mrs. R. Flora of Al
liance, Nebr., who Journeyed to meet
her supposed fiance and be united to
blm in marrlAge.
Mrs. Flora arrived with a happy
and eager smile on her face as she
passed through the Union depot
gates, because for tbe third time she
was going to be a married woman
She came to Denver to marry Dan
Ryan, a cowboy on the T. X. ranch
near EvanBton, Wyo., who was sup
posed to be on his way to Denver to
claim her.
All day Saturday she waited In the
depot 'for the man with whom she
had been corresponding. Trains
came and unloaded their passengers,
but tbe tanned face of Ryan was not
among them. Finally she went up
to Officer E. L. McKlnnon and abked
him if he could not help her find the
prospective bridegroom. McKlnnon
beard her story, beard how she had
answered Ryan a advertisement in a
newspaper to correspond with a "wi
dow with means," heard of the ar
rangements to meet in Denver and
what a grand and glorious man Ry
an was.
McKlnnon suggested that Mrs.
Flora send a telegram to her tardy
lover, with the result tbat the fol
lowing message was soon sent speed
ing over the wires to Evanslon:
Mr. Dan Ryan, Evanston, Wyo.
I am at the Elk hotel. Are you
coming? Answer. R. FLORA.
Until Sunday morning Mrs. Flora
waited for her answer, but the an
swer never came. Until Sunday
noon she watched the trains from
tvansion, out sun no iiyan with a
wedding ring. At last she became
convinced that cowboys sometimes
say things that they do not mean and
a train for Alliance was soon to pull
out of the city. When the train
started on its Journey, Mrs. Flora,
with bag and baggage, was on board
She was going back to her 320 acres
of good farming land and forget that
there ever was such a person as one
Dan Ryan.

A Song of the Lark
"You're a sweet pretty girl,"
is
quaint old song,
Yet a dear little chap warbles all day
long,
And he sings it to me, though I'm
lone and old,
When the day is warm, when the
day is cold.
Still he sings in the sunshine, sings
in the rain,
Till my reticent heart Is entuned
again;
And forgetting my sorrow I smile to
the world,
For the Meadow Lark sings, "You're
a sweet pretty girl."

Child Pleased House
A touching and amusing Incident
occurred at the Crystal Monday even
ing that brought applause from the
house for several minutes. A reel
showing "Bronco Billy" was being
shown. He Is the favorite of many
picture show goers and tbe play was
particularly interesting. Bronco Bil
ly and his sweetheart were shown In
shack which had been set on fire
by the Indians who attacked them.
The door to the shack was shut and
as Bronco Billy gathered the girl in
his arms a little chap down in tbe
front row yelled at the top of his
voice, "Open the door, twlck." The
little felow's expression was so nat
ural and showed that he really im
agined the scene in front of him to
be real, tbat it brought the house to
their feet. Many laughed until they
cried. The little fellow was the four
year-old Sundstrom child.
