THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

Since yesterdays issue OF the LIGHT.
which contained an account of the strange
disappearance of a Mrs. Siebert, alias
Mrs. Rose. facts have developed that she
Is now in California. and the following is
full account of the abandonment, the
new love affair and the woman's jealousy:
On July 4th, Mrs. Rose and her hus-
band had some trouble over an engage
ment. ring given to Mrs. Rose by
her former husband. A rough COM
bat ensued and Rose left, after abusing
his wife in every way possible. He
was not heard of for several weeks and
finally he sent his wife letter containing
- In money and stating that he was in
California. He continued to send her a
weekly allowance of 50 and she, instead of
applying IL for the support Of her children,
became hard drinker and thus SQuan-
dered her money without receiving any
benefit from IL.
Saturday she left the DaIwigk boarding
house with her two children, for the sup
posed purpose of taking the little ones to
the orphans, home and had not been
heard of until last night.
1t seems, from all the facts which have
been learned by reporter. that Mr. Rose
became deeply in love with a woman,
who is not known, and occasioned this
trouble last July, simply to get an excuse
TO leave his home. He took this new friend
to the depot. purchased tickets and left
for Los Angeles, Cal, where he has since
been living with her. On last Friday Mrs
Rose, who had assumed the name Of Sic
bert her former husbands name, learned
OF her new rival, and becoming wild with
wrath, resolved to spoil their happiness
or die In the endeavor. She managed to
make the acquaintance of railroad con-
ductor and the two concocted scheme

to the city where resided her husband,
without cost. Saturday morning just be-
fore train time, she left with her little
girls and started to the depot, telling her
employer that she would return In a
short while. She took the train and the
general opinion of her acquaintance was
that she had committed some awful deed,
taking the lives of herself and children.
About s o'clock last might lady
stopped reporter on the street and
handed him letter written in German,
which, when translated. reads as follows:
Dear Mrs. Foster:-You will be sur
priSed to receive a letter from me. | had
a good trip and will soon be in my dear
Los Angeles. will send you money for
the trip. Put all my good things In your
trunk, the dresses and other Suff. 60 I
the boarding house and get my thing
there and tell the lady | could not com
back for them. | hope Mrs. Foster. tina
we will soon be happy together. had :,
good trip and had good meals. Goo
bye"
A strange thing about this letter is the
fact that there was no date on 1t and IL Is
not known where it was written, as the
poStmark is too dim to read. In the let
ter she expresses desire to be happy
soon. 1t is presumed by Mrs. Foster that
she means to be happy with her husband
once more. She has a great deal of affec-
tion for him, and when learning of the
evil way in which he was living, she was
willing, as is evident by her disappearance,
to go to the ends of the earth for the one
whom she loved.
