About fifteen years ago, when she wa
COY and innocent maiden, she was lee
into a marriage with Mu.leran who Wli
wealthy farmer near Bunker Hill, anl
who, she says, was aged enough to be hel
father. The life she led was on,
OF misery consequent upon tAt
great disparity OF their ages, Abol
four years ago, however, the OLD
man hired alarm hand who was neyoI
cut out by nature to be farmer, SuCl
at least was her opinion. This "hircl
man. by the atfability Of his manners
succeeded in making her life less miscr
able, and In about a year, Mrs. Mu.leraI
AYERS, they became unduly intimate, ant
managed 10 keep Mullerin in the darl
about their relations until some six week:
ago, when he lNIulleran) suddenly be
came aware Of the little game that wa
being played upon him. To say he wa!
furious would be putting it mild
lie WAS WILD.
To avoid trouble the pair packed up aul
eloped to Camden, but Miss McGrecgor
her sister, and Mulleran came in hoi
pursuit aud overlook the couple before
they arrived at their destination. Mrs
Muierau consented to 20 home with heI
sister and husband, but before she left
her companion they arranged plan By
which they would meet thereafter. Yes
tcrday morning she escaped and boardc1
a st. Louis train, with the result a.
told
Her sister arrived shortly afterwarj
and corroborated the story. Before re-
turning with her sister she took Officer
Burke into her confidence, telling him
that the next time she got away She woulI
90 to Camden by a circuitous route so as
to balllc pursuit, "For, she concluded,
"Td 70 to the ends of the earth for my
Jack, and they're not going to keep me
from him I'd sooner have him without
a rag on his back, than the old man with
u million"
