''Billy" West, the Minstrel, and Fay
Templeton, the Opera Singer.

From an Auburn IN. Y.l paper
The remarkably blief marital engage
ment played by "Biliy" West, the junior
member of the minstrel firm Of Thatcher,
Primrose & West, created considerable
curiosity here, inasmuch as he is an Au-
burn boy and spends his vacation here
each year. He has now told for the first
time the story of his two months' we'd
ded life with Fay Templeton, the opera
singer, who with a company Of her own
is playing this week in Cincinnati. Said
he: ''WhenI (being then with Haverly's
minstrels) first saw her in rs, she was
then Il mere girl. She heard me remark
her beauty, and was impressed. Three
years later we met, were introduced, and
her mother granted me leave to cores
pond with her. We courted and were
engaged BY letter and were to wed in
1884. Fay being dspleased with her
fathers ideas in organizing new troupe,
wrote me in Cincinnati last May, mg-
gesting an immediate marriage. With q
desire to accommodate l acceded and
we married at Nashville. She was to re-
main on the opera stage only another
year. She was bright, vivacious, a per-
feet lady, and an ideal wife in many res
poets, but while in Chicago we discover
ed an incompatibiiity of temper which
would preclude the possibility of domes-
tic happiness. We sinply saw that we
had mistaken sudden enamor for love,
and that we were not intended for each
other. There was no violent rupture, in
deed we are good friends We mutually
agreed to separate, and neither of US has
since sought to mallgn the other. ex-
pect my bill of divorce ON the grounds OF
| incompatibility and desertlon, from a
| Chicago court the first week in January

Mr.. II. R. Keeton of Mexico, is on
visit to Holt county. In the vicinity of
where he is visiting, predatory wolf had
developed such a fondness for extra fine
mutton as to cause serious losses to
breeders of fine sheep. Believing that
some of his experiences in the early days
of Audrain would suggest q solution OF
the trouble, Mr.. Keeton visited the To-
cality, took look at the surroundings,
borrowed, baited and set q large steel
trap, and next morning found a large
healthy looking wolf securely held by the
bottom or. ssball" of the forefoot. Dis
mounting, he threw his overcoat. over the
VOLTS head, bore 1t to the ground and
tied its feet together. Then placing a
stick crosswise in the mouth Of the snarl-
ing, swapping BEAST ,ahe drer : cord
| around it's nose to prevent its biting,
threw wolf, gun and trap across the POM
| mel of his saddle, rode three miles and
handed the robber over 70 the, tender
| mercies of those upon whose focks he
had been deprecating. and without get
ting hurt himself, OF drawing blood fsom
the wolf. Pretty good for . man u years
