Rt. Rev. w. II. \. Bissell, the bishop OF
Vermont, which occurred May IA at his
residence in Burlington, Vt. In 1897 he
spent year or more in this city, as teacher
in boys academy, and during the last 20
years he has often been here as visitor at
the home of his son, John II. Bssel, and Of
his daughter, Mrs. Willard 5. Pope, and
thus many of our citizens came to know
him ersonal)y. His acquaintance here
was considerable, not only among the cler-
gy, but also among laymen. de was a
genial, kindly gentleman, of most gracious
manners and every enc OF his large circle

in languages in literature and in the natural
sciences. lie was a horticulturist and Il
botauist of good ability, and hs enjoyed

His colts have Jared better than ever be-

to bring 800 equally valuable horses here
from the same Illinois stock farm.

Pocketbook Strangely Disappears.

A report was received at police head
quarters last night from Mrs f. F. RAN
dolph that a pocketbook containing 500
had disappeared mysteriously from its
hiding place in her husbands house at AZ
Taylor street. Capt. Willard investigated
and learned that before going to the thea
ter Mr.. Randolph had secreted the book in
bed. A short time later Mrs. Randolph
left the house and went to the grocery.
On returning she missed the money and
reported the matter. There was not sign
that the house had been entered, and Mrs.
Randolph's jewelry, left lying on the
bureau when she went out, had not been
touched. The fact that Mr.. Randolph
spoke of needing the money in the morn
ing when he went to Snohomish made the
captain think he probably returned to the
house while his wife was away and took
the monev.

A SIMPLE GIRL DECEIVED.


Dsluded Into Mock Marriage and De-
serted With Baby.
Bertha Knudsou, an illiterate, simple
minded woman. with little baby in her
arms, arrived in tho city yesterday from
Lake View. Pierce county, to consult the
prosecuting attorney about the proper
steps to take against Lorentz N. Stahmer,
or Nelson, whom she claims seduced
her, then got up mock marriage. and
when he had gotten possession of her
money deserted her. Nelson, she claims,
now works at Koch's bakery, corner of
Morrison and East streets, East Portland.
According to the girls own. admission
she cohabited with Stahner or Nelson, a.
he is now known, for several days in June,
1891, in Seattle. On the 18th of that
month Nelson went to the courthouse and
named were Lorentz N. Stahmer and
Bertha Knudson. both of Seattle. The
name Of Auditor Frank Twicheil was
signed to the document. Armed with this
parchment with King county's seal Nell
son or Stahmer had little trouble in con-
vincing the simple-minded, blue-eyed and
rosy-cheeked domestic that . cere mony
with an officiating clergyman was unnec.
essary.
They lived together for several months.
and in the meantime Nelson got away
with the greater portion of 500 his wife
had saved while working out. Then,
when it became evident that there was to
be an addition to the family, Nelson in
formed his wife that in the eyes of all who
knew them the marriage was no marriage.
and that he did not recognize her Is his
wife. Not long after this he got out of
town and went TO Portland. The child
was born in May. 1892, and in November
following Rev. NJ. G. Mann, Of the Pres
byterian mission of Western Washington.
who lives at Lake View, learned Of the
girls misfortunes and gave her work.
Once in q while she received letters
from her common law husband. but he
never came near her or helped her in any
manner that is known. This caused Mr..
Mann, when in Portland q short time ago.
to visit Nelson at Koch's bakery. He
was under the impression at that time
that, although Nelson had left the girl, he
recognized her as his wife, and that the
best thing to be done was to procure a de
vorce. Nelson informed him that there
had been no marriage ceremony. and as
common law marriage in Washington does
not hold there was no necessity for . di-
vorce.
The clergyman returned home thor.
oughly incensed against the man. whom
he describes rs tippler. 1t was his in
tention to have taken steps of some kind
against Nelson in Pierce county, but as
the mock marriage took place in Seattle
he advised the girl to come here and place
her case in Prosecuting Attorney Miller's
hands.
What will be done has not been decided.
but when . reporter saw Mr.. Miller last
evening he was studying the question
whether Nelson was guilty of seduction,
Of gaining money under false pretenses,
or Of fornication.
