SOLDIER SEEKING A BRIDE Fascinated Ij Her When He Passed Through Enroute to tha Philippines, DOES NOT EVEN KNOWTHE WOMAN'S NAME Take a Position on the Motor Line In Hope of Reins; Able to Locate Her and Press His Salt. Four year ago Lieutenant Charles A. Barron, then a private In Battery O, Third Ohio artillery, passed through Council Bluffs on his way to tha Philippines. There was a large crowd at the Union Transfer depot to greet th soldier and among th number was a young woman, accompanied by a little band of school children. For four long years the image ot this young woman has ever been with the young sol dier. Although be does not know her name and did not even speak to her on that day at tha transfer, depot, be has come to Council Bluffs with ths hop of meeting her and winning her for hi bride. From a private in Battery O young Bar ron was soon promoted to corporal and later to sergeant In Battery H. Again pro motion came hi way and when b left the service, in September, 1901, he wa first lieutenant In Battery K. HI home I In Cleveland, O., but in order to assist In hi quest for the young woman, whose image haunt him night and day, he ha obtained a position as conductor with the motor company and made hi first run yesterday. Lieutenant Barron talks freely of his quest here. When seen yesterday on a Broadway motor he said: "Our regiment was one of the first to pass through Coun cil Bluffs bound for the Philippines at the outbreak of the war and we were given an ovation here, as at every other town we passed through. There was a large crowd at the transfer depot. I happened to be attracted by a young woman, or, more cor rectly speaking, a young girl, who seemed to me to be the leader of a party of chil dren, who marched up and down the plat form a if they had been drilled. I did not speak to the young woman, but from that day to this I have been unable to efface her image from my memory. In the field, in my tent or in barracks I saw that face every minute of the day. I dreamed about it at night until I became in love with her. I do not even a much a know her name, but I determined when my term of ervlce was ended to come to Council Bluff and seek her out and, if possible, win her tor my wife. It may be that she la no longer a resident ot this city and that my quest here will prove futile, but If she still live in thla city I expect to meet her before long." Gravel roofing, A. H.
