How a Simple business CranSac-
ton Was Given a Sensational
Turn.
Henry Bratsch, whose name was
prominently mentioned in a somewhat
sensational story about ''s0ul affinity"
printed in an evening paper Friday, the
gisL of which appeared in yesterdays
GLOBE. is highly indignant because of
the light he is placed in before the pub
nc bv the article in question. which
stated that a Mrs. WeikOff had paid her
husband 500 on condition that he
would sign a deed of separation, when
she would presumably marry new
love, one Henry BratSch, formerly
bUarder OF her house."
Mr.. Bratsch says that his only con-
nectiOn with the WeikOtfs was in q
financial way and amounted to this:
He held a mortgage for $3.50, with inter
est unpaid for one year, on the home
stead of George and Henrlkka WeikOff.
They lived unhappity aDd finally agreed
to separate. the husband deciding to
take $500 and give the wife a deed to the
homestead. MIR. Bratsch advanced the
$500 to Mrs. WeikOf and took mort
gage Oh the homestead for 1886. Mir.
BratSch further saws in cOntradic-
ton of different statements in the article
that he is not a Christian scientist: that
he is nor a married man: that he does
not intend to marry Mrs. WeikOff. and,
furthermore. had not been living at her
home.

drew up the papers when the loan was
secured from Mr.. Bratsch, vOuches for
