tcenth street , where tlio is bein kindly
cared fer and overythlni ; iionniblo in bciny
done to alleviate her phyolcal HuiFeriuga
nnd mental anguish. Her case Is ead In
the extreme , nnd one which places a prom
inent citizen of Omaha In a bad light and
bring * down uj > on his head the condemns
tloa of nil persons acquainted with the
facts. Thin man is a practicing physician
In the city mentioned Dr. Dlettlcli. The
details lu the case bftvo bcon supprentod
for a feiv days out of charity to the unfor
tunate woman , but affairs have taken such
n turn that It Is no longer possible to keep
the matter hushed up.
mi :
. About four month * ago Miss Stroctgcn
came to Denver from Omaha , and went tc
the house of a friend and to bur conlid'd
that she was In a delicate condition. This
greatly astonhhcd her friend , but eho ex
plained that nil would be made right uml
that aoon she wottld bo married to the man
who had taken advantage of her confiding
love. She kept up u correspondence with
Dr. Dlnlrlch , and ho was profane in hi *
promises to act honorably nnd nuttain her
food character and , no far , unmillied repu
tatloa.
A JlllKillT IIAIIV HOY.
Things went on ruioothly until recently ,
when she wai taken Mck. Shn did not up *
pear to fear the rvntllt/Vuit / relied upon the
promise of her seducer tftpt he woum mar
ry her. Oa Sunday moriMnt' , the 7th in-
ptant , there was born to her Vbrlght , baby
boy. The mother was wtll iiLd nppnrent-
ly nappy. A letter wai immediately dh-
tiutched to the doct r In Omaha ,
him of the birth of the hey , nnd
upon him for money , of which the pnother
was greatly in need. The uniwer Jm nna
which might have born expected but
which was entirely unlooked for ( by I\
Stroetgen. The letter contained
lengthy statement , rrtfularly dr/rtwn up ,
find with a blank for i.icn tun ,
WHAT -VAj ( PUMANDEO.
Thd statement waa ono exonerating the
doctor iind stating positively that ho had
never promised to marry Ida H'rootgen ,
and therefore bad never been shown any
favois becwiso of such promise. With
this statement cnmo the request that the
ylctlm of his lust nlgu It and return it to
htm , in order that he might have means of
defense In case any trouble grew out ot the
matter. If this wai done , ho would Im
mediately ccnd. money ; If It was not done ,
ho would not send one penny. The letter
was deciaivc and there was no appeal from
its stern decree. It meant dlthimor fur the
woman whether or not she slcuod It.
DRIVEN 10 INSANITY.
Thoellect was tmlblo. The woman
realized that ' she had been duped and
turned out upon the world , shorn of evsry
thin ) . ' held dear. Krom that moment her
mind wandered and she became oblivious
to everything transpiring ubout her. She
took a dislike to her unfortunate but hum-
cent babe , and sometimes went so far na tc
strike him unknowingly of con-so , H
was n torrlbln picture for those vho waited d
upon her , Yesterday tbo llttlo ono was
taken f.om her , It being feared that shi °
would injure him ; when shu had ualmei i
down ho wan given back to her , and she |
received him with demonstrations of joy
She calls him "Carl , " which U probably
the name of her be raycr , and , when not
violent , U as la\i h with her affections M
a , mother can be ,
"NO JllhTAKK. "
The Tribune then gorx on to Hay that
letter * were found from Dtodrlch In which
" of and declarations
were "promitcs marrlupo ,
tions showing plainly that ho had minced
her under promlre of _ marrlaio. ; There
wai no mistaking It It was no written ntut
signed by Dledifch. "
After conducting n theory of the case ,
the article continue * : "Hr reputation for
chastity WAS gone , anil the only person
who c mid set her i fght Ii fore the world
basely reluird to do to. The terrible blow
wrecked her mind , and she U to-day an
object of pity and commiseration. "
I'llOTKUTIM ! KlIIKNDS.
The kind friends with whom she found
an asylum aided her all they could , and
will not forsake Her. They kept the mat
ter quiet , hoping that Dietrich would repent
pent , and marry the woman , "We still
have an idea that he will marry her , " said
IdT.
the lady who befriended her to a reporter.
Miss Stroecen Is now alone and without
even enough money to pay for the room
she occupies. The Attending phyclclan It
of the opinion that uhe would bare
easily and 'quickly recovered from the
effects of her confinement had It not been
for the great mental strain to which uhe
waa subjected and which completely de
ranged her mind.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
A Little- Gratuitous Advice From Mr.

To the Editor ol TDK Dii.
1 replied to the card signed "Sara
toga , " in this morning's ' Herald , and I
wish to announce ' .o all interested in
road houses , through the columns of
your paper.
First. That I vras nut , in any nan
nor > shape or form , connected with
the arrest of nny of the parties for
soiling liquor without licensn.
Second. That thia statement I can
prove by District Attorney linriihar.
I have been , as hundreds of othar
citiztna hnve , in the hubit of driving
out on the road , and v\'fo'niwanted to
drink pationiztd tho5rpjttOUa , and wds
perhaps unfort'unatoly ' called before
the grand jury Jp teatfy ! to this fact ,
as any other citizen migA have 'boon.
When before the jury * A fUd the trtith.
That I should ba heralded "iia
an informer in this matter -uiljtiot
and unwarrantable , The city authorities
itios should protect tuen who ablde'by
the law and pay this outrageous license -
cense fee , and ivs is evident have 'boon
trying to do so , The transgressors
now fool the grip of the law , and wish
to lay the blame on a law-abiding'clti-
Han , who is entirely innocant df anything -
thing in connection with the same ,
except being brought before the jury
to give testimony. I consider it n.
dattardly and moan pif c.i of'business
to try and framn public opinion thu' t
am an informer. I advise 'my ' slan
derers to walk up to the captain's
ollice , pay up , and look pleasant , and
stead of lying about other people to
try and send somebody to make laws
that they will not feel inclined to break.
