The Mystery Surrounding the Past
of Mrs. Robert Findlay.
Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 31.-Thomas
Flynn of Detroit, Mich, is here to OBJ
tain evidence in regard to Mrs. Robert
tindlay of Hamilton, Ont, who was
killed in the accident on the Grand
Trunk at Battle Creek. Mich, last Oc-
tober. The woman was formerly
known as the wife of Sport" Lang
don, who deserted her and child
several years ago. It seems that she
went East, and Aug. 8, 1893, was
married to Mr.. Findlay at Hamilton,
Ont, as Miss Myrtle Langdon. After
her death Mr.. Findlay at once put in
a claim for $4,000 damages for the
loss of her life. He seeks also to es-
tablish the legitimacy of the boy and
the correct position Of the other inter-
ested parties.
The Langdons lived together here for
several years as husband and We, but
the. justice who is said to have mar
ried them and one witness are dead.
The other witness, Langdon, refuses
to reveal anything, saying he is not
bound by oath to do so. There is no
record of the couple being divorced,
and either Findlay is correct IN saving
sne never was married to Langdon or
she was biganist when she met het
death. If the boy is legitimate he is
entitled to a goodly share of the dam
ages recovered.

A SMALL Pox Scourge Feared This
Winter.

Milwaukee, Aug. 31.-A state Of at
fairs unparalleled in the history of any
city in this country has existed here
today. For nearly forty-eight hours
the smallpox district has been in the
hands of mob, and the health de-
partment has suspended operations.
No attempt is made to investigate re-
ported cases, and the mob rules SUI
preme in the Eleventh ward. The ri
oters soon learned that the health de-
partment officers had given up the
fight, and turned their attention to
quarantined houses, invading them and
nlingling with the sick. The police in
no instance attempted to interfere
with the lawlessness. Even the ply
sicians kept out Of the ward, and there
is reign of terror. 1t would be inn
possible to tell the danger of the sit
uation. In every neighborhood where
there is smallpox case there is great
excitement and scenes of lawlessness.
The women are mostly armed with
clubs and exhibited a total absence of
fear so far as either the police or the
smallpox was concerned. B. Wingate,
secretary of the state board of health.
predicts 5000 deaths from smallpox in
Milwaukee this winter. The state
board has decided not to quarantine
the district.
