the deserted wife, apd her child left for

the home of Bishop Brooke Many Still

and this announcement will drop as a
thunderbolt from a clear sky

gentleman of the cloth has been casting
soft Chances On Mrs. Stevens for several
weeks past. A few days since Rector
w itherell left his home telling his " life
That he was going 20 Topeka to receive
orders for the priesthood. Mrs Stevens
left on the same day; TO her husbands
questions she said she was going to Guth-

Since then nothing has been seen or
heard of either Rev. Withereli Or Mrs.
Stevens
Not receiving letter from her husband,
and, with woman's keen intuition, beiiev-
ing that all was not Serene Mrs WitherelI
wired to a Topeka minister for particulars
OF her husband. She received the reply
that Rev. Witherell had not been seen in
Topeka. Mrs. Witherell then male M

Rev Wltherell is well known in Okla

yenr he was rector of the Episcopal church
10 gu hrIe and he and his family were
hlRpiy esteemed and respected. From
there Rev. Witherell came to Saltwater
where he has been doing good work in the
Lords vineyard. His strange behavior
will call down the severest condemnation.
MRS. Wltherell Is an estimable lady aud is
deserving OF the sympathy OF all in her
trouble.
