BROOKLYN NEWS.
PASTOR BALUFF IT THE BAR.
He Is Accused by His Wife Of
Abandonment.
Said to Have Eloped with . Dash
ing Young Woman.

Paul Baluff, twenty-four year. old,
who for the past six months has posed
as the pastor of the German Presby-
terrain Church, on Schenck, near Allan
tic, avenue, Brooklyn, was this morn
Ing arraigned in the Gates Avenue
Court on a charge of abandoning his
wife and children.
Baluff came from Germany about fye
years ago. and claims that he attended
Il theological seminary In Hamburg aand
completed his studies In New York. At
one time, II is said, he was connected
with the Allen Street Memorial Church,
New York. He claims to have been or
dained deacon.
Soon after coming to America Baluff
went to live with Wilhemina Seller, at
81 East Seventh street, New York. She
was obliged to go to hospital, but mar
ried Baluff when she left the institution.
They have two children.
Slx months ago Baluf started q
defunct church Of the same denomina-
ton, He and his wife kept house in
the basement of the church. 1t Ii said
that the charms Of East New York girls
Ottilie Richter, q dashing blonde, whose
parents keep a cigar store on Atlantic
avenue, attained an undue ascendancy
over the young minister.
Mrs. Baluff protested in vain, and
about two weeks ago Balun and Miss
Richter disappeared at the same time.
Miss Richter's brother reported to the
police that they had gone TO New Jer-
sey. where they were married.
The deserted wife applied to the Char
tiles Commissioners and warrant was
issued for Baluff on the charge of aban-
ment. Policeman Stephen Carney, Of the
Liberty avenue station, arrested Baluff
in a tenement In Houston street. New
York. In the mean time, Ottiiie Richter
returned to her parents and went into
seclusion-
Baluff denies the second marriage. He
was held under $1,000 bonds by Justice
Quigley to await trial.

yitives. For nearly 'three-quarters of
mile the slave messenger had but one
idea--to return to Steve Brayton as fast
Us possible. He was hurrying along
when sudden thought flashed through
his brain, and he instinctively stepped
aside and halted to listen.
GLOW do know but what dat wom-
lerin me?" he whispered to himself.
"She'd do it! She's powerful wicked,
she am! An mebbe some mo- of dem
gorillas am waitin long yere to grab me
an Civ me anodder whippin!'
He was listening as we'll as whisper
ing, and after minute he heard the
sounds of footsteps coming down the
road. He drew back into the deeper
shadow of the high bank, dropped his
bundles, and taking firm grip of his
gun he mentally resolved to make a
fight for it if he was overhanled by the
same crowd as before. A few seconds
later he realized that only one person
was approaching. The footballs were
too heavy for woman. He had just
mp in the darkness before him and halt
ed almost within arms length to NUT
ter:
'Drat my hide, hut has that ole Mig
ger left the road an Civ me the slipl
heard he un only mint ago, but him's
dun gone now!"
lt was Ike Baxter Of course. He stood
peering and listening for half minute
and then growled:
II orter hev run he nm right down

Uncle Ben did not recognize tho man
at all. as it had been many months
since he had heard Ike Baxter's voice.
1t was instantly plain to him. however,
that the man was a determined enemy
and was seeking Royal Kenton's life.
Ike took three or four steps forward and
stopped again 10 listen. Noisolessly
and with such feeling rs he had mover
experienced before Uncle Ben dubbed
his gun, took one silent step forward
and next instant brought the heavy
stock down upon Ike's head and felled
him 10 the earth. The man sank down
without a cry or groan, and after wait
ing half minute the old man gasped
out:

Half an hour later they were chal-
lenged by Steve Brayton, who had al
ready prepared breakfast for the wound
ed man and was able to report that Ken
ton had passed comparatively comfort
able night. He met them just outside
the camp, and with . wink to Uncle
Ben be said to Marian.
"Go right along, Miss Percy; he un Is

made at the house and of his belief that
his victim was Ike Baxter, and Steve
looked very serious rs be replied:
"Then yo' kin bet we ar in fur red

At this moment Marian called to
them, and as they entered the camp they
found her dressing Kenton's wound and
preparing for his immediate removal to
the house. While the raiding party had
stelen the horses, as before mentioned,

CHAPTER XIV.

Uncle Ben returned to the house at
midnight and found Marian anxiously
waiting for news. Royal Kenton had
told him what to tell her, and while she
was comforted in one direction she was
frightened in another. If Kenton and
Brayton had been followed over the
mountains and blood had been shed,
would the pursuireease until they bad
been hunted down? If the man whom
Uncle Ben had struck down in the dark
ness was Ike Baxter, wouldn't his in
formation bring Captain Wyle and his
cam . ny intn the neighhnrhond at once?
Provided il was not Ike Baxter at all, it
certainly was an enemy of some sort,
who would demand revenge. The out
look was indeed an anxious one, but
they could only wait and hope.
1t was well for the mother that she
was too i'll to realize that anything un-
usual was happening. The doctor had
exercised his skill TO no benefit, and
though permitting Marian to hope that
a favorable change might occur he re-
allied that the chances of recovery were
very remote. Ali that long night she
lay as one sleeping heavily, and but for
the many distractions he daughter
would have noticed that the change was
for the worse.
Neither Marian nor Uncle Ben had
reason TO suspect that Mrs. Baxter had
seen or heard anything that night, but
she must soon know all. The girl had
determined that Kenton should be
brought to the house and cared for. The
thought of his rude shelter, wounded
and suffering as he was on that cold
winter night, almost drove her wild.
1t was hardly Z o'clock in the morning,
and she had simply tasted breakfast.
when she went out to Uncle Ben and
said:
II am ready to go and can't wait an
other minute. We will take some more
provisions, but shall have Mr.. Kenton
brought to the house. -
"What about dat woman?' he asked
II don't care foI her. IL she doesn' I
like his being here. she can go. "
Jest look into her room, Miss Sun
shine!'
The door was aJar. while the woman
herself was at the other house. There
was bloody towel on chair. bloody
water IN a washbowl, spots Of blood on
a chair and on the floor.
1T looks as IL some one had sought 10
murder herl' exclaimed Marian as she
looked about in astonishment.
