Instead, OF being Murdered or Kidnapped,
Mira. Hendershot Hat Gone with
AhaAher Man

lnstead Of being Murdered or Kidnapped,
Mrs. Hcndershot Has Gone With
Another Man.
The mysterious disappearance Of Mrs.
Henderson, is finally accounted for aud in.
stead Of a tragedy We have what would pass
for . comedy but for the serious feelings Of
an injured husband and an outraged fam.
lily. The first intimation Of the real facts
in the case came yesterday in the form Of .
telegram from the sheriff Of Bon Homme
county to the sheriff Of Ysnkton county.
It was q response to a telegraphic enquiry
made the day before aud read as follows:
"Find AL Benedict and you will find Mr..
Hendershot. He went to Yankton Monday.
They were intimate"
This was the clue which was followed up
until the parties we're traced to Sioux City,
whittier they had gone in a lumber wagon,
They left that place last evening. Shortly
after their departure the sheriff there was
notified to arrest them and they are proba.
