A Salt Lake Doctor Has a Long Hunt
for His Recreant Spouse.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-Dr. A. G..
Lawson, of Salt Lake City, after hunting
over the country since last August, found
his recreant wife in this city. in the com
pany Of printer named Walker. 1t will
be remembered that Mrs. Lawson went
from Salt Lake to San Francisco early
last August, sold some real estate
belonging to her and the doctor
for $4,000, and then started
east, telegraphing him to meet her in
Chicago. He came, but could not find
her, and he has since been hunting for
her. She claims to have married
Walker in Denver. She would not leave
him until DR.. Lawson threatened prose-
cution for bigamy, when she agreed to
leave him, but said she would return to
him when she could. She asserts that
Lawson has always been unkind to
her, and that she abandoned him
to escape his prosecutions. Lawson
says she eloped with Walker once be-
fore. There appears to be something
missing in the stories of both. Lawson
asserts that his wife and Walker made
away with the $4,000 she got in San
Francisco. The woman claims to be a
niece by marriage of General Lew Wal

firms the story of Henry Anderson. the

This new policy is winning the patronage of

can be no doubt that the substantial benefits
it promises will be fulfilled to the letter. It

WOMAN WITH A RAwH1DE.
Attempted Horsevhipping at Alt
MAYER & Co.'S

mayer & Co.'S
Quite a sensation was caused at Alt
mayors late yesterday afternoon by the
attempted horsewhipping Of one Of the
male clerks by Mrs. John Cullum, wife Of
Superintendent Cullum of the fire alarm
telegraph. Mrs. Cullum was accompanied
by her husband Charges Of
disorderly conduct were pre-
ferred against both Of them By
Mr.. L. Adler Of Altmayer & Co., and the
case will come up in the police court this
morning.
Dc. AltmaYer made the following state
ment last night: Monday nj ght about
closing time l was attracted TO tbs store en-
trance By hearing Mr.. Cullum demanding
an apology from one OF our clerks
an imaginary insult offered Mrs.
Cullun. The clerk replied that he had in
suited no one, and was astonished that such
charge should be made against him.
stepped outside and apparently pacified Mr.
Cnhum by stating that if his wife had been
insalted IN our store by an employee l would
consider it personal favor il he would
bring her to the store and confront TIE clerk
with the charge, and further stated that if
Mrs. Cullum bad really been insulted by an
empioye OF the firm / would discharge
that employe at once. Mr.. Cullum was APP
parentlF satisfied at this, and so the matter
ended until 70 day, when Mr.. Cullum and
his wife entered the store, and, without see
ing or even inquiring for me, advanced on
the clerk and began slashing at him with a
rawhide. Mr.. Adler and myself
rushed between them and Mr..
Cullum was ordered out of the store. Mr..
Adler and myself have both investigated
the matter and are fully convinced that the
alleged insult TO Mrs. Culium was purely an
imaginary one.n
II will allow no employe to insult the
patrons of this firn,n Mr.. Adler said, "aud
any clerk who is not courteous and polite to
our customers must seek position else
whore" Mr.. Altmayer added: II will
allow no one to come into our store aud
take the law into their own hands. Ii they
think themselves aggrieved let them report
to me and viii guarantee to sift the matter
thoroughly
The trouble grew out of the settle
ment or an account. Some time ago, Dir.
Adler says. Mrs. Cullum bought a couple
OF chtldrea's caps, and claimed to have
returned one of them TO a young lady who
was then clerk in the store, but who is
not now in the firms employ. Mrs. Cullum
was charged with the caps, but there being
no record OF a credit ON the firms books,
when the nStter came TO settlement the
clerk stated that he would investigate the
account before making settlement. This,
Mr. Adler says, Mrs. Culum construed as a
question OF her veracity, and was the fancied
insult for which she sought redress.
The affray attracted crowd Of people
inside the store and on the sidewalks. After
Cullum and his wife had left Detective
Basch was called to arrest them. Both
gave bond for their appearance this MORN
ing. Mr.. Adler said last night that war
rants will be sworn out this morning for
their arrest for assault and battery.

The remaining $4,000 of the new court
house bonds were taken yesterday by Adam
Dutenhofer Of New York at 104A and ac-
crued interest, or s7S,S25 plus the interest.
The county commissioners met yesterday
afternoon at o'clock to open the sealed
bids for the purchase of the unsold bonds.
amounting to $4,000. There were two
bids. One was by N. W. Harris & Co. Of
Chicago Of 81, 500 and accrued interest
from Jan. l, 1890. and the other was
that of Mr.. Adam Dutenhofer of 104M and
accrued interest, more advantageous bid
to the county. being $1,S25 greater than
that of the Chicago bidders.
The transfer of the bonds to Mr.. Duten-
hofer will be made promptly, and the sale
is considered good one, and an evidence of
the strong credit of the county In financial
circles. MIR. Dutenhofer was one of the
bidders last year when the $4,000 of the
bonds were placed, and then wanted the en-
tire issue of 100000, but the county COM
missioners declined it the wiser course to
negotiate the bonds only as money was
needed and save the interest.
