rant Cases and Other News.


An article appeared in the REGISTER OF
April Il concerning the marriage of Miss
Riggs, OF the first ward, to man named
Dickman who already had too many wives
and his desertiOn of her in the West.
Since then Mrs. Riggs, the mother Of the
girl, has had a letter from Dickman in
which he states that they are living at
Kansas City. Nothing has been heard from
the daughter since she left home except
that two kilograms wela received
money to bring her home. Some
money was sent her ~ her parents
and they have neither seen nor heard from
her since. In DiCkmans letter he says
that owing to the extensive strikes in that
country, he was unable to obtain work and
that is the reason he wanted to borrow
money. 1t looks very much like DiCkman
had used his wife's name in order TO get
money out Of her parents. Mrs. Riggs is
very much worried about her daughter and
thinks there must be something wrong.
