children, and lett the city, III is supposed
with young woman employed Ill
building adjoining the one in which he
worked.
The name of the individual thus thirst
ing for newspaper notoriety, and other
epjoyments of an equally fascinating ma
ture is August ii. Fuchs or Henry Fox
as he was more familiarly known, tor
merly music teacher, but more recent
ly a type founder, and his blushing
'ibride" whom it is supposed he marie d
s'regularly," as he obtained license for
such purpose some days since) is MISS
Margaret Carnahan, who was employed
at Hunts restaurant, adjoining which IS
the type foundry in which he worked.
He resided with his family, wife and
five children, on Elm street near Court,
and was generally respected by those
who knew him.
Some time since his wife became the
mother of female child, the sex OF
which it seems was unsatisfactory to
him, and it Is said that from that time
| his affections seemed to Wane toward
her.
His fellow-workmen also observed him
occasionally indulging in love passages.
| frequently in pantomime, with the pretty
Margaret across the alley, but thought
| nothing especially strange OF the matter.
Margaret it seems, however, became
quite fond OF Fuchs, probably not know
! ing him as family man, and gradually
their interviews became OF more IN
teresting and private nature.
| About this time he informed his wife
that he had obtained some music schol-
ars, and thus accounted for his absence
from home on evenings, spending the
| time thus stolen, it is supposed, with
his charming chambermaid and prepar-
| IN fnr hic II with her
| Accordingly about week ago he in
formed his employers that he had re-
ceived an offer of work in California and
that he was going there. He, to make
matters appear all right with his wife,
told her that he had been dismissed by
his employers and that he was going to
| Chicago to look for work, and that II
successful he would send for her to fol-
low him. He accordingly packed his
clothes, bade his wife and friends good
bye and disappeared.
| A short time after his departure, how
ever, his wife happened to find slip of
paper which he had accidentally drop
ned, upon which was written the name
| of Margaret Carnahan, her age, BIRTH
place, etc. This singular document
| caused the wife to open her eyes slightly,
and after little consideration, her OIL
factories gradually became sensible of
the existence OF a good sized rodent in
the business, and she soon found herself
coming to the conclusion that perhaps
Margaret Carnahan might be as much
responsible for the withdrawal of his at
fections as the girl baby, and that pos
sibly she might at that moment be as
sisting him in search of employment in
| the Garden City.
She, however, did not faint or indulge
! in any pastimes of that kind, but in q
more sensible manner at once called on
| q. friend who worked with him and COM
niunlcated to him her belief that Fuchs
had deserted her, and in turn was pre-
| sented with the touching story OF his
| love passages across the alley with the
fair Margaret.
To the suspicion thus strengthened
was added the fact that Margaret had
not been seen for some days, and an JIM
ouiry by the parties interested devel-
oped the interesting fact that she had
left the city. This seemed nearly con-
elusive in the way of evidence, when, as
a clincher, came THE STAR of Saturday
with the list of marriage licenses grant
ed last week, among which were the om-
inous words, "Augustus IL. Fuchs. ana
Margaret Carnahan."
This seemed decisive, but to make the
matter certainty the resolute yet suf-
tering wife yesterday visited the Pro-
bate Judges office, and there found in
the record-book, in which all applicants
: names are signed by themselves, the "a
miliar name in his own familiar hand
and was informed that he had him sell
obtained the marriage license as an
nounced by the STAR.
What could have been the cause of this
illegal procedure on his part is un
known, unless he had concealed the fact
, of being already married from the young
woman, and had caused her to suppose
that sne was being legally married tl
him. Nothing is known positively as tt
his having been married to the girl, OF
having left the city with her, except thai
, he was seen waiting at HUNTS ON the
J day that he was TO leave, and that the
girl lett about the same time, saying tha
she was to be married, and 1t Is belleveo
by not only his wife but all who know
: the circumstances that the gay Lothario
with his wife's kisses still warm on hii
' lips, and the unsuspecting Margaret, left
I for the land of gold, in the role of bride
l and groom, ON the eventiul day, while
!, the deluded wife and that unoifendin!
: girl baby slumbered in unconscious in
+ nocence of the ruin they had wrought.
To prevent suspicion as long as posi-
BILE on the part Of his wife, he wrote he

the little telLtale slip of paper, whicl

: them, and then to bid farewell. The Iii
v tie offending girl baby, the cause OF al

8 With this determination she yesterda

be, and she is now on the way to ovel
