becomes the bride of Ling Loy, n
sa-althy magnate of I'cll street.
*fhe liiarringe is the end of a
noitmnce which hail its beginning
<n llnng Kong and in which high-
binders, kidnapping and ransom
♦re freely intermingled.
The bride-to-be is a mere slip of j
♦.girl. Last February she was
purchased from her father in her
native land by an agent of Ling
jtfoy and brought here to become,
tin bride. She was landed at
Vancouver, B. C. and subsequent-
ly brought to New York. Short-
ly after her arrival here she was
Kidnapped by tlio highbinders and
held for a ransom. From one
■city to another she was taken
tpidcr guard. At every town
where she stopped she was placed
.b a dark, dismal room and kept
Under the closest surveillance.
Ling Loy was furious over
lo*s and spared no expense to re-j
cover his prt spoctive bride. From ;
Now York to Boston she wnstrae-l
«t(l with her abductors, thence to'
Philadelphia, and linally to Chi-
cago, where she was located in an
opium joint in South Clark street.
After considerable negotiation
Ling Loy paid her captors $500
•Sid the girl was released and re-
turned to New York.
Plans on an elaborate scale have
been completed for tho wedding
.cer mony. It will be conducted
with all the ceremonies and weird
rites known to the almond-eyed
4ons of the Flowery Kingdom.
*rho bride will be ga.yly arrayed
Cor tiny feet will be encased in
satin shoes, and down the front of
her satin bridal suit u gorgeous
golden dragon will wander un-
dulatingly. The master of ccre-
Wionies is to be Marty Martin, the
^.Ma.vor of Chinatown,” and the
b' Hesmaids two white girls, who
have wedded Chinamen. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the
guests will be ushered into the
dining hall, where, under a thou-
«o>d lanterns and garlands of
paper flowers, the happy couple
will be congratulated and feasted
«id toasted until the rising of the
morning sun. The bridegroom
has promised his friends that the
Postal board will literally groan

Romero Dead.
1’hc old scout and frontiersaian, i
Romero, died yesterday at his
Indian camp near El Reno, and
was buried today. With “old
timers" Romero was well known j
As scout he was u great favorite
with Custer and Miles, and many
daring feats are credited to him.
He was a Mexican, and a connec-
tion of the Romeros of New Mex-
ico. He married an Indian woman
His wife and several children
survive him. Romero was a man
of kindly instincts. A type
of early class of daring scouts,
who did valuable service at time
when bravery and fortitude were
ut a premium.

Merriment was at 1'> i eight, when cries
of fire were heard. There was but one fire
engine in the village, and this was pumped
by hand. There were no waterworks, and
dependence had to be had upon the wells.
All of the houses were of wood, atul a
strong wind prevailing, there was imminent
danger that the entire village would be
consumed. It was decided that iu order to
stay the progress of the flames it would be
accessary to blow- up with gunpowder the
church, from which Jim had been forcibly
expelled that morning.
The head was removed from a keg of tho
explosive, and the same was placed beneath
the doomed edifice.
But a litle later the wind shifted, and it
was no longer thought, necessary to destroy
the church. There, however, was the pow

Since Mr. Henry Schafer’s re-

business he has given his personal
attention to his extensive Bottling
Works on So. Bickford avenue,
where all kinds of mineral waters
and bottled summer drinks are
manufactured from the purest in-
gredient* and by the most perfect
methods. These Bottling Works
are one of El Reno’s most up-to-

arc made each day to nearly every
prominent point in the territory.
Visitors are cordially invited to
visit the plant and watch the
work. Mr. Schafer and his as-

The improved machinery for dis-
tilling waters is well worth seeing
There's no chance for contamina-
