BRUTAL BOON.
serted His Fifteen-Year-
Old Wife.

As cruel case of wife desertiOn as has
come TO the knowledge of the BAzoO in
many moons occurred at Windsor, some
time during the past few DAYS, the exact
iate not being known by che BAzOo's in
formant
The villains name is s. d. Boon, who,
for some months past, has been engaged in
buying corn on the street, at q commission
of one cent per busbel, for a grain dealer
named Sanford.
About year ago Boon was married TO a
Young girl of Windsor, she being. at the
time OF her marriage, scarcely fourteen
years of age. Her relatives objected to
the match. principally on account OF the
would-be brides ag", but entreaties proved
of no avail and tie ceremony was pro-
nounced which should have made them
one for life.
Welded bliss, however, was not to be
their portion, as the sequel shows. On the
27lh of January there arrived at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs Boon a charge to
keep that should have been the means OF
uniting them the more closely. This
little charge proved to be daughter,
however, and although the girl-mother
was overcome with joy, the husband was
not little displeased. and from thst time
forward the home of Mrs. Boon was turned
into perfect hell. Had the child been a
boy, Boon said he would have been de-
Lighted, but little daughter was some
thing he did not care for.
Hardly week after the birth of his child
Boon suddenly disappeared, and from that
time up to the present nothing has been
heard from him, although inquiry has beer
made in every direction.
Mrs. Boon has oren at the point Of death
since her cruel desertion, and even now i
is not thought she can recover, although
she is receiving the closest attention from I
loving mother and sympathetic relative
and friends.
The action OF young Boon has causes
not little excitement in Windsor, and
dose oi tar and feathers will undoubtejl,
M given him in case he returns
