After Her Husband.

A Mrs. Mary Catlin arrived In the CITY
last night in search of Il runaway husband,
whom she ayers, has been absent from
home for twelve months, and has in that
time married three other wives. She
claims TO hail from Oaihe, Kansas, acd
SAYS her husband was In Sc lalia last week,
and she thinks he is here yet. She states fur
ther, that he was 4 drummer when she
married him, and that she welded him
against the wishes Of her relatives. who
claimed that he orly de ired 10 wed her for
her m Dney, of which she says she has
$4,000. TO ties. him she gave him none,
and after they had been married three
months she told him he had been dc lived,
as she had no money, and the next day he
left her. She processes to believe that she
treated him wrong, and that she sill loves
him, and il she can find him she will set
him to return. II her DRY is true she is
undoubtedly a very blind and foolish
woman, and the worst misfortune could
overtake her would be to find her much
married husband and get him TO return to
her. She says he goes by the name OF VIM.
Shields sometimes, and at others By the
name OF VIM. s. Knott. She is q rather
good looking lady, about % years of sge,
and appears 10 be quite in.elligen. and
well educated.

The Excellent Quality of the

For the benefit OF nay competitors as well

that Halleit & Davis pianos ARE TODAY

took different view OF the matter and run
him in. He was fined SIS, but given a stay

AGAIN ARRESTED.
Mentor Thomson Has Emmett
King Rearrested.
He Files Two Charges of Lar
ceny and Three Of Burglary.
King Goes to Jail Rather than
Give Further Bond.

The gossip concerning the Sedalis Saw
Jugs bank received fresh impetus yesterday,
when il became known that Mentor
Thomson, president OF the ins tuition, had
had Emmett King, the defaultipg clerk, re-
arrested, and expectation was all sgog
when it was learned that five informations
had been lodged against him.
A BAZoo scribe was promptly on hand
when young Kirg m de his appearance in
Justice Riffs office, about 8 a. m, accom-
panied by Const BILE Carnes. King was
dressed very plainly in 8 dark suit of
clothes, and had d scarded his diamonds,
watch and other iewelry. Heseemed calm
md resigned, but wore a somewhat de-
iscted aud haunted look as he took his seat
before he bar 10 listen to the fresh charges
against him, which, 10 brief, set forth that
he had on two occasions. to-wit
on January the h and on January the
h, 1884, felOniously appropriated and car
ri. away and converted 20 his own use
Gel, ain prop rty belonging to the Selalia
Savings bank, consisting as alleged in the
first count of 5000 IL money, and in the
cond count 500 10 mOney. Toe other
three sfhdavits charge him with forgery in
having willfully and felonioasly entered
upon the books of which be had charge,
lse entries, showing In e'ch Instance q
greater amount by 500 paid out on the
date of the false entry than that which had
really been p,id ont. Tness da'es are fixed
IS February Goth and June Sid ard 9th,
1884.
justice Rife, after herring the evidence
in the cases as Ie!a ed by the compla inant,
fixed the d. f+ndant's bond at $500 in each
case, or 81, 800 in all and set the case for
trial next Monday. The defendant stated
that he did norecsre to ask his friends for
any bond in the matter as they had BEEN
troubled quite enough and he would rather
go to Jail than bother them further. He
was accordingly committed and thus set
tied any further attempts at prosecution
or release unit rext Monday. The air is
again full of stCr es and rum0rs concern
ing the IN latter, but il is not likely that any
thing material will be developed until the
preliminary examination of young King,
when those who profess to know say
some very startling disclosures will be
made.

rooms, in order to accommodate the large
audieGce which assembled to herr the evil
dence in the case of w. A. Morgan, al az
j. L. Hunt, charged with writing obscene
and indecent letters to Mrs West. The de-
fsndant has about as mean and hang dog a
look as the most bitter enemy to such con-
Cf, and il is rot improbable this a'one
would have strong effect with any jury.
But the evidence, much of which is not fit
for publication, was direct and 20 the p int,
and showed Morgan t. belong to a danger
Gus and unprincipled class of the commu-

eide. This affair has cau2ed much excite
ment and scandal in colored circles, and
eng ndered 10 little bitterness among the
colored church FOLKS who were on hand en-
fndsse in behalf of the prosecution. After a
log and laboriOus h-aring, a verdict of
acquittsl was rendered, which was received
with much disfavor by the majority of the
witnesses, and their discomfort was largely
sddel to when they learned the result lett
them no chance to collect their stiffness fees,
snd the remarks INDUCED in by some of
the females were pretty sharp, though more
fCrcible than elegant or creCi able.

taken in charge. After his arrest Lewis
claimed that he received the check from
Henry Jackson, c7l1red man In the en-
plOy Of Mr.. Sterlin, but be was lockei up
to await deyel' pments. Mr.. Gorrell hap
Pened 10 be IN the city at the time and

sent out to Mr.. Sterlin's to investig ate, q

the city when his son was arrested, and
wss seen by BAzoo scribe, but diselaimed
any knowledge whatever of the matter,
saving he worked for another party and
had heard nothing of the affair until the
arrest was made. Adams employer, who
was also 10 town, intimated that such was
not the case, and seemed TO be pretty we'll
