The tragic affair is the elimination
of q cowardly scandal raised in this

in Lincoln December IS, 1890, which at
the time stirred social circles from
center to circumference. Van Fleet
alleged that December 4. 1890.

clandestinely married. Upon investi-

did not hear of the scandal
until he returned home on visit
ten days ago, and then he learned the
particulars from Van Fleet himself.
Yocum set about to investigate the
matter and satisfied himself that Van
Fleet was the author of the scandal.
Van Fleet had repeatedly stated that
