WIFE OR WIDOW, WHICH?
The Question That His Better Half Is
Trying to Solve---White Bear
Whispers.
About one month ago Zenophile lie
Page, blacksmith of this place, dis.
posed Of his little property here. About
the same time he received telegram
from his old home in Canada, calling
upon him to come OH at once if he
wished to see his old mother before she
died. LIE Page decided to 60,
and went to Minneapolis to pro-
cure suitable wearing apparel.
When he went to Minneapolis
he had $10O in his pocket, all the money
he OF his family possessed. This was
about three weeks ago. From that day
to this none of his, friends have seen
him. When he did not come back be-
fore starting to Canada, as he promised
he would, his wife thought he had gone
on to Canada. But all doubts on that
score were set at rest yesterday, when
Mrs. LIE Page received a letter from
Canada stating that her husbands
mother was dead, and asking why her
son had not come to see her, as he had
telegraphed he would. Mrs. LIE Page
thinks her husband was murdered for
what money he had while in Minneapo-
lis. and mOurnS him as if dead. The
majority of the citizens think other
wise. however. He was a worthless
character, spending all he earned for
drink and denying his family many of
the necessities of life. He could have
had a good business here. but had
to quit on account of his habits. The
general verdict is that he has deserted
his family and gone to parts unknown.
Some, however, think that he has gone
on big spree and will return as soon
as his money is gone. or that he may
have got in the work house. He left
wife and three children, the youngest
about two months old, with nothing at
all to live on.
