to worry the most patient of all poor

ELOPERS CAUGHT WACO

Other Waco Local Notes.

WACO, May II. - Special - On the
north-bound Missouri Pacific train last
evening, Andy Roemer and Mrs. Schan,
and 9-year-old daughter OF Mrs.
Schan were passengers. When the
train reached Waco, Roemer and Mrs
Sohan were arrested by Van Hall, Of
Halls detective agency. The arrest
was based on a telegram received by
Hall from Detective Il. o. Bales, at
Austin. The couple are Germans, and
Ii is supposed Roemer had stolen the
woman from her husband, as she says
she left husband behind
asked why she left him she
said he drank, and was so cruel 10 her
she could not live with him; also that
she left two other children
with him. The couple denied
they were clipping. Roemer says it
was Mrs. Schan's intention to come to
Waco, secure work and live here. He
had known her for years and was
merely with her as her friend, TO see
her comfortably located here. The con-
ductor on the train says the couple got
aboard at Austin, and were hugging and
kissing each other all tho way 30 Waco,
| TO which point they had tickets. Since
the arrest the wires have been down be-
tween here and Austin and not
a word has been heard from De-
tectiyo Bales, who ordered tho
arrest, The couple will be held
bore by Halls agency until
Bales arrives. The woman says she
had rather die than 60 back TO her hus-
band, but appears otherwise uncon-
cerned. ROemer Is decidedly uneasy in
| his looks and actions, and was indig-
nant at the arrest.

Results OF the Blow.


The fanfaronade of Mother Nature
Saturday afternoon was more extensive
than some folks thought about. Heav-
emily lightning flashed from grim
looking clouds in way that made tim
orous folks tremble all over and in acme
cases with most substantial cause. For
instance, the residence of DIR. G. Il. Kel-
Ter, on Main street, was struck and a por-
ton Of one of the corners was thrown
down. The shock must have been q
severe one, for the children
of DR.. Chamberlain, who lives adjacent,
and who were in the yard that was in
the range of the frightful nuid, were
severely shocked. DR.. Keller thinks
that his family are indebted for their
miraculous escape to the strong stone
walls OF his house. He now banks
strongly on limestone rock as a nom
cor ductor of upper-story electricity.
The wind that came along with all this
thunder and lightning business played
pretty sad havoc with shade and fruit
trees through the city. Some very hand
some looking chinas were rent to tho
base, and number ofyoung elms, oaks
and other standard trees were broken.
The electric light works were not al
lowed to pass, one of their generating
machines having received one of the
blows hurled by Maj. JOve.
