AFTER HER LOVER
A Girl Comes to this City From Ohio TO.
Hunt up Her Unfaithful Lover. says
She Has Found Him.

Miss Kate Callahan, of Cincinnati, O.,
came to this city day or two ago to hunt
up her unfaithful lover, whose name she
gives as Warren Ring, who lives with his
parents at Paramount.
The story the girl tells is this: Warren
| Ring left this city about a year ago and
went to Cincinnati where he found en-
ployment in the Queen City electric COM
pany. He is an electrician and under
standing his business he had no difficulty
| in getting good position with this COM
| pany.
| After living at Cincinnati six months or
whereabouts he met this girl, Miss Gala
| han, at the boarding house where he
| stayed, she also being boarder. Their
acquaintance developed into friendship,
which friendship ripened into love $50 the
| girl thought at the time) and after time
they became engaged. The girl is an or
phan and had inherited some $500 from her
father who died some time before her
meeting Ring. Ring finally became i'm
patient and wanted to marry and set up
housekeeping. This the girl objected 10
for the reason that he had no visible
means TO support a wife. After seeing
that she was immovable in her
| decision he looked around for some
thing to take hold Of After
some time be informed his intended that
for $500 cash he could procure half inter
est in an electric company. She told him
to 90 ahead and that she would advance
the money. She accordingly gave him
$500. After while he came back and
told her he would need some more money.
She gave him more. He then went to
Plttsburg and Minneapolis where he blew
it in gambling and betting on horse rae
ing. After having spent all she bad given
him be came back to her and under some
pretext got the rest of her money. After
that was gone he left Cincinnati and came
back to Wichita This was about three
weeks ago.
When the girl learned that her lover
had deserted her and gotten away with
her money she Immediately consulted
some friends, who advised her to come to
Wichita and trace him up and get back
her money. This advice she followed and
night before last went TO the home of Ring.
She chastised him for his actions and I'M
plOred him to do something for her.
After she had talked and argued for a
while he got her by the back of the collar
and sent her off the place, following her up
until she got into a field of sunfiowers.
Here he left her. She came back to town
and yesterday morning reported the mat
ter to the authorities. She told her tale
of woe to the police, who did not
give full credance TO her statement.
She then went before County Attorney
Morris who issued a state warrant. Chief
Burrows detailed Officer Dennis out yes
terday. Ring could not be found during
the day but the officer got him late last
night. Miss Callahan is good looking
woman of perhaps % years of age, and is
dark Completed. She states that she is
employed in a shoe factory at Cincinnati.
Her story is believed by some and disbe-
leved by others. She substantiates her
story by letter which she has, wherein
Ring acknowledges the receipt of some
money She also holds note for $500 against
Ring, which she required him to give her
the last time he came to her for money.
She will prosecute Ring and will try TO re-
cover. Warren Ring was seen at the Jail
last night When questioned as to what
he had to say, says the whole thing is an
outrageous scheme to blackmail him. He
denies her story from first to last. He
says he never was on more than friendly
terms with the woman, had never gotten
cent from her-says he had not been in
Pittsburg at any time and, in fact, denies
everything. He says he Will fight the case
out. He cited the fact that his parents
were well known and respectable people
here. When asked about the letter he had
written, says he wrote her but once and
that no mention of money was made in it.
The case is an interesting one, and it is
hard TO decide which story is the more
probable.
