A Happy Evening.

One of the most pleasant parties ever
given in Abilene was given Friday
evening by Miss Emma Wilson and
Miss Rose Gleissner at the residence of
Hon. Y. p, Wilson. The evenings
pleasure began with a piano solo by
Miss Nida Waterfeld, of Hutchinson,
Kansas. This was followed by a solo
sung by Hilon Sumner and piano solo
by Miss Carrie Corbett.
Quotations from Tennyson's poems
we're then recited by each one present,
and guesses made as to what poems
they were taken from.
Music and dancing whiled away the
balance of the evening, except the tim
occupied in doing justice to the elegant
refreshments served by the fair hos
eSSeS.
The following of our young folks are
indebted to Misses Wilson and Gleiss-
ner for so enjoyable an entertainment:

New Year at Sunnyside.

The ladies of the Sunyside NJ. E.
society and neighborhood gave a very
enjoyable entertainment New Years
eve at the Sunnyside M. E. church, the
proceeds to be applied towards paying
the Rev. Holland, of Solomon City,
who has been their pastor for the pre-
ceding six months.
The program was varied and included
rehearsals, declarations and elias
songs by the Sabbath school pupils, as
well as select songs by the choir.
After the rendition of these all sat
down to the very appetizing supper
provided by the aforesaid ladies.
1t was enough to make one hungry to
see the piles of good things provided
and which the crowd started bravely
in to dispatch; but after filling up
until Nature called halt, were obliged
to acknowledge defeat. The minister
was sent home happy with about
twenty-five dollars in cash and bas-
ket full of good things.
The attendants started for their
homes near the close of the old year in
great good humor thinking they had
never had such good time.

MORE GRAIN STEALING.
South Dickinson Has a Siege Of Petty
Thieving-Yonng Men in Durance
Vile Awaiting Trial.


There seems to be a remarkable at
traction about grain stealing for some
of Dickinson county's citizens and the
indulgers therein are by no means con-
fined to one section. Last spring the
''Blalock gang" of the northeast part
of the county was given a severe dose
of punishment for similar depredations
and now South Dickinson is suffering
from marauders.
The first instance of the kind was the
Pratt case which comes off January
18th. The facts in this proceeding
were that last week Geo. Shaw, living
in Ridge township, five miles north OF
Hope, was going past granary that
stood some distance from the house,
and discovered that one of the windows
out. He went to fix it and found that
it had been taken out and that lot OF
oats had been taken out of the granary
Wagon tracks were plainly seen which
led off in the direction of Enterprise
He hitched up his team and started
for Enterprise, but learning nothing OF
the stolen property he started for Abb
lene. AS he passed over the railroad
track this side of Enterprise he saw
oats scattered on the ground where
they had apparently been shakeD Oh
the load, and on reaching this city he
found out where Johnny Pratt had just
sold load of oats amounting to sixty
five bushels. He at once swore out a
warrant for Johnny, charging him with
the theft. The examination was to
have been held last Wednesday, but
was postponed on account of the alb
sence of the chief witness.
On Saturday another case came to
light. Benjamin Gish, John Whistler
and Mr.. Engle, living near Belle
Springs. have been missing wheat and
they so informed the officers of this
city. Saturday morning fellow named
Guy, living in the neighborhood, took
load of wheat to Hoffman's mills,
Enterprise, giving the name of Smith.
Hoffman suspected that all was not
right and he told Enterprises marshal,
W. A. Kerns, who followed the man
to Abilene.
Marshal Powell and Under Sheriff
Ellison looked the thing up and found
IL sacks in the mans wagon. In the
meanwhile Kerns swore out a warrant
againstsGuy charging him with stealing
wheat worth $2O.S0. During the day
it transpired that Guy was not the only
one implicated and Messrs. Gish and
Engle swore out warrants against Fred
Dudley and one Keech. living in the
same neighborhood.
Ellison and Powell took horses and
started for their men. Arriving at the
Keech place, seven miles southeast,
nothing was found of the men about
the house. Ellison happening to spy
something suspicious about straw
stack half-mile away, the searchers
rode there and found the three men
hidden in the stack. They were cap
tured, brought to town and now Ian

COMMUNAL COMPLICATIONS

In Which Figure a Hero and Two
Heroines-Wife No. / and Wife No.
2-Marriage a Dead Failure in One
Case.
1t has been some time since Abilene
was treated to real live scandal worth
publishing. The new year has, how
ever, proved kindly to the newspaper
man and furnished in its first hours a
racy bit of news.
About year ago man of 36 came
to Abilene. He was an engineer and
had worked on the Rock Island road.
He gave his name as Geo. W. Jones
This right name by the way) and found
employment at various places, being
last at the gas well where he ran the
engine.
He was somewhat of a gay DISPOSE
ton and loved to be in the society of
the fair sex. During the summer he
became acquainted with
LADY AT SOLOMON
to whom he paid his attentions under
the name of Jerry W. Freeland. So
well did his suit prosper that on
November 18th marriage license was
issued to himself and Minnie E. Rowe,
of Solomon.
The wedding took place soon after
and the bride and groom came to Abb
lene to live. All went well and the
couple were keeping house in the most
orthodox fashion when yesterday eveII-
ing large sized bomb was thrownin to
the family circle by the appearance on
the scene of
WIFE NUMBER ONE.
1t appears that Jones', alas Free
lands former home was in Peoria,
Ills. There he married and settled
down and was the father of three
children. VIXEN he came west it was
to make fortune for the family. He
did not, however, remit or return and
the wife at last realized that she had
been deserted. She sent notices to
the city marshals of several Kansas
cities, thinking him somewhere in
the central part of the State. One
coming to the hands of Abilene's mar
shall, Mr.. Powell, he suspected Free
land and sent a description of him to
the wife She at once came on and
reached here on the evening train yes
terday.
Freeland was confronted by the lady
and she positively identified him as
HER HUSBAND.
There were tears, sobs, protestationS
and agony galore, and then wife No. 2,
broken down with sorrow, disappoint
ment and grief, left for Solomon, while
No. prepared for legal prosecution.
The preliminary examination will be
held Saturday morning at 9 o'clock.
