One Must Be Mistaken.

j. o0
Denver, Special, Dec. 27.-Three years
ago Mrs. Barbara Haehn mysteriously
disappeared from Yankton, s. D. The
good people of the town thought she
had been foully dealt with, and her
disappearance caused great excitement
at the time. Her little children were
left without a mother. Mr.. Haehn's
lot was a hard one He always believed
that his wife lived and had deserted him
and her family, and he determined to
find her dead or alive. He kept his sus-
picions to himself. and for three years
has been hanging doggedly on her trail.
He came to Denver about a week ago
and the second day after he got here
he saw his wife i'll the company OF
Richter, who had left Yankton about
a month before the disappearance of Mrs.
Haehn. He lost sight of them in the
crowd so he haunted the streets, en-
deavoring to find out where they live:
He was rewarded for his search INC
located the couple in their boarding
house to-day. When Haehn entered the
house he ran to embrace his falthless
wife, and her screams attracted the at
tention of her husband No. 2, who was
in an adjoining room. He ran to her
assistance and grasped hold of husband
No. 1 by the neck, and was strangling
him to death until %neighbors interfered
and released husband No. 1, who tried
to explain the situation, but found no
sympathizers. He then demanded pos
session of his lawful wife, but she
denied ever seeing the man before, and
said he must be crazy. She went into
Mysteries, and husband No. 1 was flung
down stairs. He again tried to make
an entrance, and begged the woman
for the sake of her children to return to
her home. Finding that all his entreat-
les were in vain he determined on hav-
ing satisfaction. He went and had both
arrested on the charge Of adultery.
Haehn is a man of means and is de-
termined to prosecute his faithless wife
and her paramour.

There are In this community short sight
ed people who advocate the assessing OF
oppressive taxes OH manufacturing firms
their argument being that IL is good
thing to get oil that is possible out OF
them as long as they remain here. Such
theories are injurious to any community.
While there may be temporary gain,
the general result Is hurtful and tends TO
keep out new industries:
Au Sable and Oscoda arc confronted by
condition, not theory. The recent sale
Of large block Of standing pine by the
Gratwick, Smith 4 Fryer lumber Com
pany, removed the manufacture OF that
much timber elsewhere. The taxes OF
this firm on their Au Sable property
reaches the enormous total Of O per cent.
per annum. The high rate Of taxation,
the Monitor surmlses, Is the principal
reason why this firm Is closing up its
affairs. Interviews with the LIQUIDS and
Pack, Woods 4 Co. reveal the same dis.
content. The assessments of these firms
have been raised several times In the last
two years. The LIQUIDS paid ola, 800 taxes
last year, over per cent on 600. 900.
Their taxes for about 20 years previous
