and the following morning IA represen
tative of the AVALANCHE, by the cour

the prisoner at the Jail. He met us
with a cordial "good morning, and
upon our inquiry expressed a perfect
willingness TO give us all the facts re-
quired, which, in substance, are Us fol

Ny name is Nelson Sorell; am about
sixty years of age; was born and
brought up in Monroe county, New
York. | moved TO Waukesha, Wis
consin. about 1916, and there met and
loved Miss Susan Kibbee, poor girl,
whom, after due courtship, / asked to
be my wife, and in September, 1913,
we were married by justice of the
peace. named Hatch We lived to-
gether as man and wife, with ever-va.
rying felicity, until 1875, when we
agreed to separate forever, she declin-
ing ever to renew the marital relation
with me. She had borne six children,
the last of which while / was in the
army, under circumstances which were
at least deemed suspicious, but loved
her and was willing to condone all the
past, but she rebelled, and demanded
one-third of the property which by
industry and economy | had accumu-
lated. She said she had never loved
me, but had married for home, which
she could now have with her children
and property, and without me and

Finding there could be no harmony be-
tween us, as ! said before, in 1875 we

gave the other a paper agreeing not to

aving read IN last Saturdays issue of your
valuable and interesting paper an account of a

rather indefinite, desire to give you a true and
couGise statement Of what It was. The Fourth
Presbyterian Church, Ninth street. has lately been
thoroughly repaired and painted, and new iron
railing placed in front to preserve the walls and
steps from depredators, This made necessary the
removal Of the old wall and ratings on each side
of Iho church. In that wall were nice pressed
bricks like the front OF the church. II entered
3nlo the mind of one of the ladies Of the church
that these bricks might be utilized as memorials
"A meeting OF the ladies OF the church Was called
and the matter was discussed. The bricks were
cleaned, dried, and covered In satin, velvet plush,
and other materials. The ladies worked through
the winter, one lady painting with lovely designs
all that were covered there were a few embroid-
cred, When all were finished the "brick bazaar"
was held az 9i2 New York avenue 2Sth and 29th of
March. The afiair was q grand success socially
