SHE" WAS A MAN.
A Cruel Deception that Wrecked
Il Minnesota Mans Life.

CHICAGO, Jan nall. w. Powell,
a palsied wreck of Il man once
honored, stood in the prisoners
dock before Justice Lyon this
morning. officer Dyke found him
drunk on the street and arrested
him. The magistrate tempered
justice with mercy and suspended
the tive-dellar fine imposed.
Powell was editor-ln-chief of the
Minneapolis Tribune fifteen years
ago, and a sober, industrious man,
holding the confidence Of his tel-
low-citizens. He was then a young
man and unmarried. The story Of
his downfall is one of the most
peculiar that has ever been record
ed in public print, but the details
of this sensation of fifteen years
ago have long since faded from the
public mind. Powell met and
loved a young lady named Burn-
ham, living at Waterloo, Ia, and
their marriage was a social event.
The honeymoon was of short dura-
ton. y separation occurred and a
transformation took place. Powell
resigned his position and plunged
into dissipation. His young wife
went into retirement, and before
the gossips were through talking Of
the scandal she reappeared i'll
mems clothing, and the fact was
! proclaimed to the world that cher
sex had remained undiscovered
until after t'her'' marriage to
Powell, and that Miss" Burnham,
or Mrs" Powell, was a man, and
henceforth to be known as Mr..
Burnham. Under that name he is
now prosperous citizen OF
Waterloo, Ia. and the proprietor
Of a theatre.
