Mrs. Gloystein expressed fear that
her husband would disapprove her
action in leaving the place and dispos-
ing of some of the effects. Her fears in
this respect, the disorder attendant
upon moving into new house, the
fretting baby Ia her arms, and the
general air of a fatherless household
impaired pathetic coloring to the
scene. "But be ought not complain"
she went on to say. ~ had to get rid

"This must be great relief to your

Mr. Pugh declared, as ne and the re-

JUST EIGHT WEEKS AGO TODAY
1t Was Monday Morning, July so, That
Gloystein Disappeared.
The Gloystein "myslery"-now @
mystery no longer-is just eight weeks
old todey. 1t was early Monday morn.
Ing, July 30, that Gloystein, without
a word to his wife that could
afterwarj throw light on the
occurrence disappeared into the
darkness. That forenoon Sheriff Pugt
was notified and he proceeded a
once to the scene of the strange occur
renee. The theory of foul play imme
diately found favor in the neighbor
hood, and for more than week friends
and neighbors beat the bush, raked the
standing grain and penetrated every
cave and Granny In the neigh borh ooc
for miles around. Excitement became
intense. Work was abandoned anc
fields of grain that needed cutting
badly were neglected, while specula-
ton and discussion of the all-absorbine
topic of the hour ruled instead.
The character of Gloystein was fully
discussed at that time, He lived among
political antagonists and was himsel
a strong willed, perverse. self-centerec
man. His populist neighbors twittec
him with their opinions and wild ar
guments, and he replied with invec
tives. They hanged him in ef1igy II

tons about him for their children t
read on the blackboa in the Mica
schoolhouse. The defeat of Pennoyer
