SOME LOCHENVAR
Ran Away with the Woman Mr..
Schaeffer was to Marry.

He was to have been married tomor
row, but his bride to be, changed her
mind, and yesterday afternoon packed
up her trunk and levanted. His name
is Fred w. Schaeffer, and he boarded
with his lady love, Mrs. Emma Vonbon
hofer, at 10 Glove street. He called at
the police station at midnight last night
and wanted an officer to bring back his
sweetheart and her trunks as well, for
"She has taken away some
jewelry and clothes which
belonged to my first wife. and that hurts
my head" he explained to sympathizing
Clerk LOOMS. 1t appears from Mr..
Schafer's story that Mrs. Vonbonhofes
was divorced from Mr.. Vonbonhofer on
Saturday last, and promised to marry
Mr. Schaeffer tomorrow. When the latter
gentleman returned from work yester-
day bearing in his arms some calves
liver and other things for dinner, his
charmer was gone and all the trunks
and clothes including those belonging to
Mrs. Scheaffer now deceased. Mr..
Schaeffer is manlof action and fastened
to the depot and tried to catch the
fascinating divorce. He reluctantly .ad-
mitted to a reporter that perhaps she
liked another man better than he. 1t
looks as If that view was correct.
