A COMPOUND ELoPEMENT-A FAMILY
MAX Runs AWAY WITH Two WIDOWS
A man Of ~years-nenrer SO than 40
has, until recently, lived and moved
and had his being in the Twelfth Ward
of this city. He worked aud earned
money, and it is rumOred did not spend
much Of it for board, although he rcgu-
larly helped clear the table in II board.
ing house in that locality. In N of
the rural districts, not far from the city,
his family, consisting, we believe, of n
wife and two children, lived and worked
on a small farm, Tho farm WAS worked
and in a great measure paid for, though
withoutaid from the husband and father,
for he would seem to have spent his
substance in riotous living. The wife
WAS untiring ia her exertions, managing
the little homestead we'll, working hard,
turning her earnings to good account
and bringing her children up respect
ably, in spite Of their paternity. The
man was not good. 1t is recorded of
him hat some time ago, when a friend
of his, II distributor Of carnivoral ali
msnt. and tho possesIor of II very hand
some young wife, was sick, this man
WAS the most devoted of nurses. He wns
Mt the house increasingly, md neglected
his work that he might have more time
TO devote 10 his friend. The friend got
well, appreciated his watchers devotion,
and--well, one night he fell upon his
watcher aud nearly beat the life out Of
him with Il club. The deyoteo tried to
get up a rattle for his benefit, alleging
that he had been robbed, but everybody
considered him II " dead boat" and de-
clined. A day or two after, he disnp-
pearcd, and it was developed that he
had left with tho widow on whom he
had !avisbed his affections, and the next
that another widow had gone too ! The
two widows, it seems, lived together,
and shortly after Lothario commenced
paying his devoirs to ono of them, the
two women determined to 60 West. Tho
ardent old lover hastily agreed to go
with his iunmorata, and this explains
the ranle ruse. The other would not so
with her until spring. She would not
wait, and at all hazards the women de-
tsrmined to go West together. AT all
hazards, too, this versatile lover deter
mined TO 60 with them both, aud did.
