Mrs. Elizabeth M. Thompson, the buxom and wealthy widow from Boston d her youthful fiance, Thomas V. Walton, shook the dust of Council Bluffs from thelr feet last evening and 1t on the Wabash sup- posedly for St. Louls on their way to the city of baked beans and brown bread. During the day Mrs., Thompson remained in her room at the Gramd hotel, having her meals served there, but the yéung man preferred to eat in the dining room. After lunch he made his way to & book store and purchased a supply of magaszines and other reading matter for his ‘‘Aunty,” ss he familiarly ealled her. Mrs. Thompson telophoned to Omaba and ordered her trunks sent to the depot. When the time came to go to the depot the widow, dressed entirely in black and enveloped in a voluminous Raglan with a lace collar, stationed herself at the cormer of First avenue and Pearl street while waiting for a motor. Thomas V. Walton, on the other nd, went to the corner of Pearl street and Broadway and there boarded the car, taking a seat in the rear. He made no effort to ist the widow onto the car and to those who did not know differently they acted as perfect strangers. When the transfer depot was reached the young man alighted first, being the more agile of the two, but made no attempt to assist his buxom sweetheart. Instead he made a bee line for the waiting room and the refreshmemt counter. They enm- tered the Pullman car together, Mrs. Thompson first and the young man follow- ing. As Tommy reached the last step he gave a wistful look baek, which clearly indicated that if he only dared he would like to make & run for it before the train pulled out and leave the fair but buxom widow to make the journey by herself.
