the story. we will have TO 20 back a,,w
months. Mr.. N. Banks was IN engineer
living in Richmond, Ind, and In his family
was q daughter Ida. There came TO the
town Of Richmond, Ind, about eight years
ago another family named Jarrett In this
family was . son who became sign paint

quainted with Ida, Their acquaintance

They have no children, but lived happily
and contentedly until about four months
ago, when young Jarrett was attacked With
measles and partly recovered, bot later
relspsed and for several months wss out of
| employment. Meanwhile the savings laid
| away for . rainy day were exhausted, and
the gunnt wolf, hunger, stood at the door.
A consultation between husband and wife

Was held. and after various proposals aud
in . fit Of deportation the wife proposed

A Purehaser for Her ChAsnA
The husband said he could not see what
else was TO be done, and the wife startled
| out. On the street she met Niver, and told

made an appointment, and he called next
day and departed. For several weeks fol.
| towing the mans visits were frequent aud
| he supplied both husband and wife for
| the sacrifice which the woman made.
Niver was engaged As agent in selling
| patent clothes wringer and prospered. The
| husband about live weeks ago having recov.
cred, the trio left Richmond, for Lima, D.,

while the men canvassed the town for the

band left Lima, and asked his wife 10 20
with him. She, however, having found
that Niver was better providsr than her
husband. and he having grown Ia her
favor, chose 10 remain, 10 which the un.
prncipled and improvident husband offer
ed no opposition and left without her. On

She refused and chose 10 remain, thinking
nothing further OF the matter, and assign.

support her. She and Niver lived quietly
together, exciting no suspicion, Nivsr
meanwhile working indusiriously and
doing onsiderable business On Monday.
Marshal Shubert received Q dispatch from
the woman's husband asking II the parties
were here, and on the following day "a
order from tho father 10 arrest the twan.
which he did. In the afternoon they
we're preparing 10 leave when they wsrv
arrested and put in Jail, waiting the arrival
OF her father. This vas the
first intimation that the couple
received that the tacit under.
standing that existed between
them was not satis sfactory to her husband,
and they were greatly surprised at their
arrest. This l. the womans story, who was
seen this afternoon. IL is practically sub
siantiatcd by the testimony OF the father.
He visited his daughter at the jail this
afternoon, and she agreed to 20 HON. with
him. The woman is but eighteen years ~
age, and told her story with candor and not
