ON THE TRAIL.
Mr.. Winslow Departs for Texas to Follow
Up Supposed Clue TO the Where
abouts of His Wife.

Bloomington, H., February 22.-
News has ut last been heard from Mrs.
Jennie Winslow, whose mysterious
disappearance from her home has been
a subject ofmuch comment for the past
two weeks throughout various parts
of the country. To-day postal card
was received from her at the postoflice
in this city, requesting that
all mail sent TO her at Bloomington,
be forwarded to her at Dallas, Tex. 1t
seems now that the plan laid by her to
keep her friends off the track was
quite successful. Instead of coming to
bloomington to visit friends, us was
supposed she went direct to Texas,
where she now is. MIR. Winslow has
resigned his position on the Chicago,
Rock Island u Pacific road, and has
been devotedly giving all his time to
the search of his wife. He was in the
city to-day, and learning of the card at
the postoilice, left for Texas, oppressed
with the first foreboding that his wife
was unfalthful and had deserted him.
The Winslow's originally came from
Texas, and before they made their ap-
pearance in this city resided ut
different places in that state.
Mrs. Winslow being young lady.
very beautiful and fascinating In an
pearance, attracted the admiration of
men wherever she appeared. In Texas
certain wealty land owner and stock
raiser residing near Dallas was par
ticularly attentive to Mrs. Winslow,
but having complete confidence in her
womahood and love, the husband did
not suspect that their sacred relation
would be violated by the trusted
friend. MIR. Winslow would not al
low himself TO believe that his wife
had deserted him and taken UP with n
paramount before seeing the truth with
MS own eyes, and has gone to Texas
with that purpose. Being u man OF
great determination, fearless and of
SPLENDID physique, there will probably
be trouble in Texas if his wife is found
IN the relation suspected.
