Last wednesday there arrived IN
Sedalja a rather good looking, neatly
dressed young man of perhaps TWEEN
ty-one summers who put up at the
City hotel and registered as Lee o.
Garrison, indianapolis, Indiana. He
claimed to be an ornamental, sign
and scenic painter and started out 10
solicit work. Wednesday night he
informed his landlord that he was
expecting his wife TO arrive from
Kansas City and be sat up with
The clerk TO await her arrival on the
midnight train, When it came he
was at the depot but
THE WIFE DID NOT COME.
He went back TO the hotel and to bed
next morning he rose paid for his
breakfast and left for Warrensburg
on the afternoon train. Thursday
night on the night train a rather good
looking young girl but of a somewhat
fast disposition arrived from
the west on the midnight train. She
seemed to be looking for some one but
failing to find them applied to mer
chant policeman, Chris Prentice, for
hotel. That gallant officer escorted
her to the City Hotel where she reg
istered as
MRS. GARRISON,
Independence, Mo-" To the clerk
she stated that she was married and
had expected to meet her husband,
Mr.. Lee D. Garrison at the depot
but he had not come. The clerk told
her that Mr.. Garrison had put up at
that place, but had left for Warrens-
burg that afternoon. She seemed
disappointed and replied she was to
have met him Wednesday night, but
was detained. She retired for the
night and yesterday morning asked to
be shown to the telegraph office. A
bell boy conducted her to the
Western Union office, where she
dispatched to Mr.. Garrison at War
rensburg her whereabouts. On the
uext train Mr.. Garrison

dinner he paid their bill and stated
that he was going to Mr.. Buske's to
