GEORGE d. ELLIS,
of whom the BAzoo has had occasion to
speak frequently. He, it will be remem.
bered, first visited Sedalia in 1873, passing
himself of as private detective. His
subsequent career is too well known TO De
given at length, but is briefly this: He
deserted his family here, and they went to
SoOnville, where subsequently, his wife
procured divorce.
At Montgomery City he won the afec-
tions OF an esIimable young lady, and was
about to marry her before his true character
became known. The BAzoo learned OF his
doings and he was
FORCED To LEAVE THE STATE
on account OF the publications made In this
paper.
Later he turned up at Barry, ILL.,, a small
Town on the Wabash road, few miles east
of Hannibal. Here he first made the &C
/ quaintance OF the good people by introduce
/ ing the "Star System" of dress cutting, but
subsequently opened out an insurance office.
OF course he represented himself as single
man, and as such
WON THE HEART AND HAND
Of Miss Cora Allen, one of the most accom-
plished young ladies of the village. They
were to be welded, when gentleman who
had had his suspicious aroused Investigated
Ellis past record, and informed Miss Allen
that he was a married mau and a villain
of the deepeet dye. This, as a matter of
course broke off the engagement.
Subsequently he courted and was about
to marry young lady at Griggsville, Ill.
Id huya
cation in the BAZoo, which angered the fell
low. He swore out warrant for the arrest
of the editor OF this paper on a charge of
criminal libel, and then shook the dust of
Pike county, Illinois, from his feet, prob
ably forever.
A few months later he turned up at St.
James, Mo. A notice appeared in the ST.
Louis papers that he disappeared very sud-
denly from St. james, carrying the idea
that he was dead.
HE STILL LIVES.
This was too goo news to be true, and
no doubt he insiigsted the theme himself,
as his later exploits proves that he was
not dead, neither was he sleeping, but with
his usual wide awake pertInscity on the
matrimonial question, was lying seige to
another susceptible female at Aurora,
Lawrence county, Mo.
About one year ago Ellis appeared in
Lawrence county and laid seige 10 the
heart of Mrs. Mary Z. Rinker, respectable
widow lady, who resided at Aurora in
Lawrence county. Ia due course of time
he married her.
Last spring Ellis left and Mrs. Rinker
applied for divorce. Since then Ellis
has been non est.
