ALL-THE STORY OF HIS LAST WIFE
LIFE OF FEAR, ACHES AND BRUISES.
Three years ago there was no hap
pier girl in all Milwaukee than Mary
Schrocner. Her parents were in com.
Portable circumstances, and refused
their daughter nothing that could add
to her comfort and happiness.
One day she met Chris Gantcnbein,
and was introduced to him. He had
just served two years in the Wiscon-
sin penitentiary for bigamy, but he
did not tell Mary of it. lie had not a
handsome face, he had not a pleasant
voice; he had ugly eyes, o'sho did not
love him. But in month or two he
proposed marriage He had told her
parents of his great property in the
city of Dubuque-how rich he was
Mary should have every luxury, plen-
ty ofservants and no work-she should
have horses and carriages at her com
mand; she need not even walk if she
did not choose to walk SO when
Mary said mo, ! will not marry YOU
her parents said yes, you shall marry
him, and we will have rich son-in-
law! She married him. She came
to Dubuque with him. There was no
carriage to receive her at the ferry
landing. She walked with him clear
up into the Fifth ward to his brothers
house. There she learned that he was
only not rich, but was very poor.
Somebody furnished him Il little mon
ey and he started a saloon. Soon he
he moved into the building at the cor
ncr of Fifteenth and Iowa streets.
Customers came to him and he COM
menced prospering. Alas for Mary !.
He commenced getting drunk, too, and
to beat her. Her home was a perfect
hell to her She was in constant fear of
life, and she says that time and again,
when she asked for money to buy food
she had been answered by blow and
Il kick. She became a mother, and
then her torments of heart were doub-
led, for she knew of her inability to
protect the child in his moments-or
rather hours-of passion. Thus she
has lived for three years-subject to
more kicks than kisses more blows
than blessings "a hundred fold more.
