contribution to a campaign fund
something no other man in that Office

Since the death of Mrs. Barbara Roemer,
formerly Artz, it has been discovered that
Roemer has wife now living in Hannibal,
Mo-, whom he married in 1857 The exis-
tence of this woman was not known during
the late proceedings against Roemer for big
amy. His marriage thereafter to the widow
Artz was not legal, land he is entitled to no part
of her estate, valued at $4,000, which will
now be divided among the ten surviving
children of the late Nicholas Artz, the ras-
cally doctor being frightened into signing a
quit claim deed and release to any lroperty
left by Mrs. Artz, including 200 check
signed by her the day before her death, and
believed to be fraudulent.
