Society was con siderably shocked, though

yesterday of the engagement OF DIR. Henry

It was shocked because the memory Of the
late Mrs. Helen Wagner and her tragic end

came between the doctor and his wife and
caused their divorce, and because at the
time of the death of Mrs. Wagner the
handsome doctor was even then the de-
voted knight of the widow. It may be
added that since the tragic end of Mrs.
Wagner the two have been inseparable.
There is no doubt about the announce

Cowardly Conduct of Detectives In the

KANSAS Cry, Sept. 20.-James P.

lives at Fort Madison, Iowa, where En-
gineer Prescott OF the Santa Fe, train
stopped by train robbers nsar CORN.
Mo-, couple of nights ago, was taken
after being wounded, had long talk
with Prescott.
"He told me-" said Wright. that the
battle between the supposed train
robbers and the detectives was very
queer, and that he would never have
heen wounded If the detectives had met
the men who stepped on the engine with
a we'll directed shot. Prescott said it
was very strange that the detectives did
not kill some OF the would-be train
robbers. Further than that, he said
that after he was shot, he pointed out
one man who was standing 80 close to
the engine that he could have knocked
him down with a lump of coal il his
arms had not been rendered useless by
his wound, and he shouted to the de-
tectives: Why don't you shoot that
fellow? Then, ne said, the detectives
fred several shots at the man and he
noticed that the gun barrels were all
pointed away above level with the
mans head"
