we'll. tailor. about 35 years old. who has

He Immediately set to work to arouse and
rekindle the faint spark of love in the bosom
of his former lady love, when 1t became
rurnored about that he was married and
had family. He stoutly deuied the charge,
but il seems that there are parties in town
who knew him at Homesdale Pa, when a
boy. and know that he carried home and
introduced some one as his wife, when a
Young man. He denied this, and said be
was not legally married to this woman and
had given her his fortune to get rid of her.
Finally Mr. Price told him that he had no
further use for him, and things generally
got so warm that he left
the city. Parties who seem TO know say
that his real name is Oscar Bache. When
he left and reached Montgomery, Ala, lie
went to a person there who owed Mr.. Price
some money, and tried to collect S25,
claiming that Mr.. Price owed him a large
sum. Mr.. Price was wired, and the monev
ordered not paid, as he owed Caldwell
nothing. Caldwell claimed here that Mr..
Price owed him large sum, which is not
true according to Mr.. Price.

claim that he is a deep scoundrel, and is
trying to play a deep and dark plot, and say

debts. but told some of his creditors that a
big fuss would be stirred up on his leaving
but not TO be uneasy, for he was coming
back and marry the young widow, and that
ne was going TO get evidence sufficient tc
clear the suspicion against him. 1t is
claimed that he forged kilograms as to some
money coming to him froa
California. II is feared that
there will be serious trouble
if he continues his game 1t is also claimed
by those who recognize bim as Oscar Bacht
that no is Jew, bnt he denies this also
claiming to be only half jew. Caldwell
