Damsel from Pittsburgh Loses 150 After Suitor Vanishes
A well dressed girl visiting Johnstown from Pittsburgh stayed at a local hotel. She claimed she and a young man there planned marriage, gave him 150 dollars for California tickets, and he departed never to return. She had dinner at the hotel and went out in the afternoon, but did not come back. The hotelkeeper says he can bear the loss if she can endure the disappointment.
