These two. together with another

Ia chronicling the long train of
affairs which led to the escapade
of yesterday, Mr.. Green will appear
foremost in the scenes, just - he did
in the final climax. For four years
past Mr.. Green had paid the most
devoted attentions to Miss Myers, Q
hsrdworking but honest girl who
bears the reputation among those who,
know her Of being straight forward
and upright. She is 20 years of age,
we'll developed good and looking. For
eighteen months she was employed
at 418 Fifth street 10 Q
domestic. While there it is
stated that Green was almost Q nightly
caller. From there she went to Mrs
Lytles, Who resides on the northeast
corner of Seventh and Washington
avenue. From this place she is said
to have gone Monday and taken the
train for st. Louis.
She lived with Mrs. Lytle for near
" two years. during all Of which time
Green continued to pay court.
She next looned up in the town of
Fairbury, and CONSERVATION in that
quiet place followed her arrival.
Green, who left here about one month
ago. is said to have carried no female
with him, but somehow Miss Myers
got wind of his whereabouts, and the
informstSon upon which she so rndely
disturbed his stolen but brief bliss,
was we'll grounded. She heard that
Green was there, and he was there.
She also heard that there was q widow
living with him, and this person was
also found doing business in that Ca
pacity.
The matter was put into the hands
of City Marshal Amos Brown, and he
coon found the guilty pair snugly
domiciled at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Wilbur, former Soda
lians, upon whom they had doubtless
imposed to the extent of representing
themselves to be man and wife. Miss
Myers represented to the authorities
that she was engaged to be mar
ried to Green, that she wanted
him and that her mission there was to
get him. The officer reported to her his
find, and she Insisted that she be shown
the Wilburn house at once. Upon
reaching the place Green met and
recognized he: hut still held q fast
grip on the woman. Miss Myers en-
pIored him to retrAce his steps ana
leave the widow. and he told her he
would see her later at the hotel. She
went to the place designated to wait
flor him and is doubtless stiIl waiting,
if it requires the presence of Green to
stop her vigil. Green put the bird
in hand, under his arm and is now
very scarce about FAirbury. The
people are reported very indignant
and sympathize with the girl.
