Qut side of what our distant rela- tive Oscar Wild told us when we last talked over old times, we don’t know much of the parties. It seems that Jersey a small town- | ship in England is famous for good milch cows and pretty women. That some time ago there were some good old folks by the name ot Jones living down there and were in the dairy buisness. They had eleyen children and Lily the eldest ran off with a man by the name of Langtry. She succeded in getting a certificate of beauty from cousin Oscar and some more of the boys, and, concluded to go into the show buisness. To help the boom on, Oscar came on a-head and lectured all over the country tetl- ing the hoys about her. | When her ship came to New York | Fred, who was working in the mines at Rich Hill, heard of her and split for New York. On arrival therehe arrayed him- self in western fashion ana went down to the show and sure enough that settled it. After wounding five policemen and the manager at the exit he gallanted the girl to her hotel in good order making old moth- er Labouchere keep a — | distance in the rear. 3 Fred handed them in to their ta| tel which was then called the Great Westera and told Lilly he would see her later. Old Mr. Labouchere fainted sever al times and refused to ~tay <a Be aa and got a porter by the name of W. Maning to take her to a cheap board- | ing house on Ft. Scott street. Sure! enough next morning Fred came to H the Great Western, the landlord told him he couldn’t see the Lilly by a big majority but Fred handed him one under the left sub-maxilary, went on to her room and in half an hour came down with a button hole boquet of certain flowers the Mayor of Brooklyn had sent her the day be- ere. This created a row among = fellowsin*New York and they rsuaded her to send home for kin folks to come and guard her agninst | the attacks et the bokd bad Fred. The other day Jobn ilenry Lang- try and Miss Anna Langtry her sis- ter-in-law arrived to go on guard. Tangtrv has hired the Ford boys! to help him preserve the Lilly, and a! bloody fight is shortly expected. / We will report further develop- | ments. nese re % Subscribe for the Butier Weekly} Times. duly $1 25- | a MISSO URI SUBSCRIBE | SS j FOR THE ‘BOOMING’ TEMES Ai WEDNE Having opened a new Drug Stor { busniess we cordially invite the public to call and sce us.
