with woman to whom he had been en-
gagged before marrying bis present wife,
The injured wife traced the pair to Me-

been married, without Henry's having
gone through the formality of procuring
a divorce. Mrs. Klein is very anxious

her home in Milwaukee.

Iwenty-two-mile Ford, % miles north

that the clearing out of the ruins is GO
ing on now, and that the company will
rebuild the destroyed structures imme-
diately.
