Y Ilg "a VSEssM up that it is difficult to
/SLBl V3,SkEsf write the facts and keep

story may be appreciated. 1t appears that
two years ago a Hungarian named John
Milovich arrived in this country and located
in this town. After brief stay here he
moved to Mahanoy City and was joined
there by woman he represented as his wife.
The couple were hard working and, to all
appearances, very respectable and intelligent
people, and within few months they sue.
ceeded in establishing very comfortable
home. About eight months ago another
woman arrived in this town. She had with
her five children, three of her own, she said ,
and two were orphans, left by her sister and
sisters husband who left their native land
many months before for America and were
never heard of AFTER The woman with the
children said her name was Mary Marowicz
She said that she had come here to join her
husband, who left her in the old country over
a year previous and had promised
to send for her and the children within few
months After waiting for over year Mary,
the woman No. 2, decided to come to this
country with her natural and adopted child
rem and hunt up her negligent spouse. The
funds for the journey were furnished by her
father, who owns a small farm. Through
some unknown means Mary succeeded in
learning that her husband was the man liv-
ing near Mahanoy Plane as John Milovich
With children and packs Mary plodded over
the mountain and found her husband and her
sister, the mother of the two supposed
orphans she had brought across the water,
were living together There was a warm
scene at first, but the matter was settled by
the husband and sister explaining that their
relations had been perfectly proper and that
they were living in the same house to save
expense with a view to laying away sufficient
money to send for the wife, Mary, and the
children. The sister also explained that
her meeting with Mary's husband
was purely accidental. That when she
(the sister and her husband came
near Tamaqua. Subsequently they moved to
this town and the husband was killed in the
mines. While in the midst of her trouble
the sister met Mary's husband here and when
he started housekeeping at Mahanoy Plane
she became his housekeeper. Mary, the wife,
seemed satisfied with this explanation and
her faith in the story was strengthened by
the fact that she was at once installed as
mistress Of the household and her sister with
her two children was assigned to separate
part of the house. Matters went along
smoothly for about six months when Mary
had her suspicious aroused By careful
watch she learned that her husband and
sister were preparing to leave for the West.
The husband had been secretly saving money
for the move. But just here another re-
markable feature developed. The sisters
husband appeared in Mahanoy Plane alive,
well and mad as a March hare He had
traced his wife and arrived on the eve Of the
proposed elopement. He said his wife
deserted him at Freeland and he dis
covered her whereabouts by the merest
accident. OF course the husbands ap-
pearanee re-kindled the fire and there was
another hot time There was no escape for
Mary's husband and her sister Maggie The
erring couple broke down and confessed, but
matters were again settled by a division of
the money that had been saved for the elope-
ment and other arrangements by which
Mary's husband gave her sisters husband a
good job with him in the mines and last
week the Freeland man moved into a house
of his own. Both families are now living as
neighborly as if nothing to mar the happiness
of either had occurred.
