Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-11-22

that she had accidentally come into
possession of a copy of the SENTINEL,
and in the published list of letters re-
naming in the Eureka Postof1ice had
noticed the name of her husband who
left her about fifteen years ago for Cal
ifornia, and from whom she had not
heard for more than ten years. She
requested us to give her what infor-
son whose name was advertised in
the letter list. Happening to be
slightly acquainted with the gentle
man, we complied with our cores
spondent's request, but informed her
that he could not be her hus-
band, as he had a wife in this vi
cinity with whom he was living at that
time. In a few weeks afterwards we
received a second letter from the lady
stating that the person referred to was
her husband, and that she had COM
lnenced proceedings for a divorce in
the court OF the county where she was
residing. She requested us not to
mention the matter to her husband or
the fact that she had written to US
spunkily remarking that he wasn't
worth the ammunition which she would
have to expend in furnishing him for
his faithlessness. and sc far as his wife
was concerned that she was doubtless
punished sufficiently already, ever if
she became his wife with a full knowl-
edge Of his former matrimonial ven
ture. Not desiring to become mixed
up in such a disagreeable affair, we
complied with the deserted wife's re-
quest and refrained from mentioning
the matter to any one, and it had al
most passed u Of our Recollection
when it was recalled to our memory a
few days ago by u third communica-
ton from our 1--WE presnine) fair CORE
spondent thanking us fOr. the inforrna-
ton we had given her in u answer to
her first letter, and volunteering the
further statement that she obtained a
decree Of divorce without any trouble,
and had a few days previous to the
date OF her letter married a man
"whom she ought to have married
twenty years ago." and who proposed
to her before she threw herself away
on the present Base Ranger. She also
removed her injunction of silence and
even requested us to make The whole
matter public, which, following our
repOrtorial instincts, we have done,
suppressiIig only the names. The
faithless husband will doubtless re-
cognize the picture, but he need suffer
no u~neaSinesS because we are in pos
session of the facts. tor we pledge our
selves to be as secret as the grave; inn
posing as the only condition that he
treat his present wife better than he
did the one he deserted. 1t may, how
ever, somewhat relieve the pangs of
conscience for him to know that the
latter is perfectly satisfied with the
change she has made, of which we can
assure him, as she says in her letter
that "her present husbands little fin
ger is worth old 49, whole lazy car-
cass," and, as she had hen been
married upwards of a week, she prob
ably knew what she was writing about.
