SARTORIS AND A WIDOW.
Grants Sou-iu-Law Supposed to be In.
pIcated in Socia Sensation,

MILWAUKEE,, June %. A sensation was
caused to-day by the publication Of the de-
tails OF a story in which the name OF AIger-
non Ssrtoris, the Englishman who married
General Grants daughter, Nellie, appeared
somewhat prominently. For some years
Mr.. Sartoris has spent several months each
season on his farm near Green Bay, hun
dred miles or SO north of Milwaukee,. He
came about the middle Of April this year,
and he has since then been d.
viding his time between bis
country place and Milwaukee. The scan
dial WAS developed through the seizure by
the sheriff, on writ OF attachment, OF the
furniture which remained In a handsome
mansion on Seventeenth street near Grand
avenue, to satisfy unpaid bills incurred by
lady known as Mrs. II. b. Bush.
Some time during April party consist
ing Of Algernon Sartoris, Mrs. Bush and a
gentleman younger than the lady who was
understood to be her brother, arrived in
the city aud were assign rooms at the
Plsnkinton House They had apparently
travelled together from England and reached
the hotel In each others company. The
quarters at the Plankinton were not given
up until the latter part OF May, about
which time Mrs. Bush domicilcd herself In
the mansion in Seventeenth street, which
had been rented for occupancy from May |,
and In the meantime carefully and
HANDSOMELY FURNISHED.
The more wealthy OF the resident lady
neighbors soon heard OF the presence OF the
supposed English widow, and upon calling
to pay their respects were agreeably i'm
pressed with her beauty, irtelli-
gence and simplicity, as well as with the
elegance OF her surroundings, which indi-
Gated the presence and possession OF wealth
| They saw no indications Of the presence OF a
male person In the house, and II was sup
| posed she was living there alone with no
other company than that OF few necessary
servants. Things ran along smoothly
enou yh until It began 10 be remarked as an
unusual circumstance that the lady never
appeared in the open air to enjoy
her beautiful surroundings, and one lady
neiyhbor, more curious than the other,
also observed one day when the
letter carrier appeared TO deliver a letter
| that the outer door was opened only sufii-
GENTLY wide TO permit delicate female
| hand 10 be thrust out for its reception.
| While curiosity was thus being aroused
among the female neighbors several
male occupants or adjoining mansions were
surprised at the occasional mysteI ious visits
OF nurly young EihSltsu ktHticluau, VINO
| usually arrived after midnight Saturday aud
remained until the midnight hour Of the
Monday or Tuesday following.
The household furniture had not been
paid for and the lady sar ft 10 remove to
| Seventeenth street, whittier the deputy
sheriff went Wednesday forenoon TO attach
the property, no one responded to his re-
pested knocking for admittance, and re-
course was had TO tho landlady, who ad
United him. II was found that the upper
story was entirely unfinished The first
story was stocked with furniture valued
NJ between $500 and $1,000.
II was discovered that paror
set was missing and subsequently, 1t was
ascertained that 1t had been shipped to
Chicago, the intention Of the quasi-owne
being. apparently, TO transfer tho entire
lot to that city. Among the articles found
in the house was a plano which was at
tacbed for 500. Later the music dealer
who disposed OF the instrument to Mrs.
Bush claimed that It had not boen sold and
that nothing had been paid for II, she
having obtained possession OF II
y" rental. Another "' At.
tachment was issued against the furniture.
The house Is now In the hands Of the sher-
IN, some time during Wednesday after
noon Mrs. Bush left the city, and she has
been traced to Chicago.
