MIDNIGHT SCENES AND THE SEQUEL

LovELAND, o., May IA scandal IN the
aristocratic circles has been going the
rounds and has been the chief topic Of con.
yersation for several days, neither losing or
gaining ground. Owing to the prominence
of the parties, the affair has made deep
impression. Both parties are prominent in
society circles, and have lived here for
many years. The principals are Mr.. M. s.
Williamson, a lawyer of much prominence
and ability, and Miss Lou. Fogelman,
daughter of ex-Postmaster John Fogelman,

Miss Lou is the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fogelman that still remains under
the parental roof, and the grief OF the pa

in the belief that the whole proceedings
were manufactured from feeling OF

signifies his intention to leave no stone
unturned to prove either the guilt or inno-
cence of the parties, and quiet the tongues
of the gossips. Mr. Fogelman could scarce

sympathy of all. His gray hairs have been
respected for over twenty years, much OF
the time in which he was Postmaster, be-
sides holding many other positions OF trust.
He has dispatched for Williamson to return
and straighten matters up.
