Legislature in this district
Last Fall Is.

erd, were in town Monday last.
He came over to see Mrs. Eckhard
on matters concerning her husband,
who, it will be remembered, ran
away last fall with money belong
ing to Mr.. Wise. He has been
arrested at Newport, KY, where
he has been for some time. There
are parties in Iowa after him for
embezzlement, and besides this, he
has married again. There is
enough against him to send him
over the road for fifteen years, and
he will be pretty sure to go. Mr..
Wise stated to Mrs. Eckhard that
he would not prosecute him if she
was not perfectly willing, but also
stated that the Iowa parties were
determined to take care of him in
case he didn't. The man seems to
be a rascal not deserving of the
least pity, and should be placed
behind the bars where he will have
time to reflect over his misdeeds.
He should not be allowed to run
at large to fleece other people who
repose trust in him. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wise have been very kind to
Mrs. Eckhard, and have pressed
her to allow them to take the old
est girl and adopt her. Todd
