RED STORE, 2O7 OEIO ST,

one James Stnwers, after having taken sd-
vantage of yonr confidence, under promise
of marriage; and, in view of the fact that
the Democrat man suggests that there
might be q case tor the coroner, il embOd
les hin: that some foul play has been en-
gagged in. What have you TO say, ii any.
thing, ON the subject?"
Noticing that tears were coming to her
eyes, the reporter stated TO her that the
BAZOo wished to make q statement of the
facts in the case, and that if injustice had
been done her, show il up to the public,
whereupon, she furnished the following in
formation:
Mrs. Schroeder is a grass widow, about
twen,y-three years Of age. She is a bru-
nett. Of fair appearance and has lived in
Sedslia about two years. Her parents
live at Tip'On, at which place she was mar
ried several years ago to Joe Schroeder.
They lived happily together for quite
awhile, and about three years back Schro-
der left her to 60 to st Louis in search of
work. She heard from him by letter for
some time after his departure. but he finally
quit writing and she gave him up as lost.
She came to Sedalia for employment, which
she found, anG while here met the Demo-
Gratis alleged perpetrator of her ruin, James
Showers. An attachment sprung up be-
tween the two and an engsgem ent followed,
she vet claiming that she has every conf
dence in its fulfllment She stated that
she had written to VIM. Showers of the pub
LEGATION of yesterday, and that she looked for
him here last night. He is nov located at
Moberly. The woman coniesses having
had . miscarriage, but corrUoorates the
statement of Mr.. Fehr, that there was moth.
ing wrong. She saws that the child was
buried by Its father in The cemetery in the
usual order of things, and that she will be-
come the legitimate wife of Showers rs soon
AS . divorce can be obtained-at lea.t, rs
effect. She speaks in very plain terms of
cistory Of Mr.. Showers, and says that il he
bodily deceived. The Democrat reporter
got no such information from her or any
one else-it Was simply the workings Of his
fertile imagination.
At this juncture Mrs. Fehr
chimed in and curroborsted the statement
of Mrs. Schroeder, and by her reference
was again msde to the two bosrders who
had been the instigators Of this foolish
publication in order to sati.te their anger.
"Who are the parties you refer to, Mrs.
Fehr, and what are the surrounding cir
qurried the reporter.
"Why, Nelson Sine and vile. They
have been the recipients of Mr.. Fehr's
charity for the past three months; at least
they have boarded here that long and have
never paid cent. might cay, however,
that he, Sine, has been absent q part of the
time. They began making preparations for
changing their place of abode. and yester-
day Mr.. Fehr had their
baggage seized, trunk and a
valise, which are now in the
hands Of the Law. She claims that Sine,
though he never put up for his board, !
was very particular about the table con |
tents, and in fact, pictured him out as q |
nuisance. bona 6de. Through malice for |
the Fehr family, they claim that Sine was |
the instigator Of the untruthful statement |
iny yesterday mornings Democrat, whereby
An injustice Was done to Showers, Fehr and |
Miss Schroeder.
1t might be we'll for reporters who claim |
10 represent the press to inform themselves |
befo ne making statements derogatory to all
parties concerned. Though this woman
has allowed herself to be wrongfully used,
his fresh representative of daily news
PAPER has exhibited very little judgment in
he publication of the matter, even if that
publication WAS a matter of fact, especially
when it is considered that misrepresenta-
ions have been made, and that Showers is
till expected to carry out his engagement
With the woman in question. Any one
AN readily see that the Democrat reporter
has made an ass of himself
