John Young Returns From an Exciting
Trip to Sank Center.
HIS wIFE's INFIDELITY.
Her Paramour Gets a Thrashing and
Young Spends Night in
Jail.

John Young returned yesterday from
Stearns county, where he went on
a .strictly business trip to obtain evil
dence of his wife's infidelity. While
there he thrashed Mrs. Young's para
mour on the street, and was locked up
in the county Jail at st. Cloud. He
comes home from his flying trip in
complaisant frame Of mind, however.
Mr. Young is leader of the Saltwater
cornet band, is fine musician and
known as an upright and estimable
young man. About six years ago he
married here divorced woman named
Gravenhaur, but better known
as Mrs. Myer, Myer having
been the name of her first husband.
During the year following the marriage
matters went tolerably well. until a
final rupture was caused not long ago
by an alleged intimacy existing between
Mrs. Young and young man named
Herman Made. The latter is an igno-
rant fellow. The Young residence is
on North Broadway. One night Mr..
Young went to bed early, leaving his
wife in the sitting room, but soon, at
tracted by suspicious movements, he
arose stealthily and found the sitting
room light turned down and his wife
absent. Further investigation revealed
young Made and Mrs. Young talking
together in the darkness on the
hillside near the house. The
woman denied the existence of any
improper motives on her part, abused
Young for his inslnuations and on the
following day put his personal effects
out of the house. A short time ago
Young took up his residence in a down
town boarding house, while his wife
remained at home until three weeks
ago, when she went to Sank Center,
having in the meantime protested love
| and longing for her husband. While at
Sank Center she wrote young Made an
unmistakable love letter, urging him to
| come to her and fixing date when she
would meet him at the village station.
| Made being unable to read took the let
| ter to friend. through whom Mr..
Young learned of the facts. Made went
| to Sank Center and Young followed
last Thursday. Arriving there he en-
gagged an attorney and an officer to visit
his wife's ABODE and see what they
could find out. They learned that
she called herself Miss Myer,
and said that Made was her
hired man. The visitors secured
| enough evidence on which to base
Young's action for divorce, and Young
| was ready to return home when he acct
dentally met Made on the street. The
encounter resulted in Young threshing
the fellow, for which act the husband
| was arrested, and in default of paying a
| $40 fine was locked up in the county
Jail at st. Cloud. Saturday night money
was telegraphed him, and he came
home. The band music will now pro-
coed as usual.
