and Perhaps a Bigamist

When Charles II. Grewell, barber more
or less favorably known, suddenly de-
camped from this city for parts unknown
on Friday night. it was for the purpose
of escaping the wrath of Lizzie Coute, a
handsome and determined young lady
who was threatening at the time to as
sist in sending the dashing Grewell to
Jail for deserting the six-months-old in
fant of which both of them are the
parents.
Grewell was on May 9th married at the
home of his sister, 221 South Water
street, the bride being ls-year- old Lucy
n. Rich. who had for some time been
one of the pretty bellies Of the east side.
Miss Rich is the daughter OF well
known east siders, her uncle being the well
known police officer of that name. Her
husband took his bride of three weeks
with him, leaving all Of their belong ings
at 700A powney avenue, where the
couple had begun housekeeping since
their wedding.
Grewell, ii all the stories told OF him
are true, is very bad egg indeed. He
came to this city from Frankfort, Kan,
first becoming acquainted with Lizzie
Coute about two years ago. He prevailed
Npon the girl to live with him. She
comes of respectful e parents, who are
residents of San Bernardino. and has
been supporting herself and him also at
times,it is said, waiting on tables in som
Of the private hotels OF the city.

done her by making her his wife. He
even remained with her all night on the
Wednesday preceding his marriage with
Miss Rich.
Grewell has wife in the east accord
ing Co Miss Coute, from whom, she
thinks, he has never been legally sepa-
rated. She visited him on Thursday last
and implored him to assist in the care of
their child, but tho dandy barber only
laughed at her. Then she threatened to
call upon the law to assist her in bring
ing him to terms, and the result was the
flight of Grewell and his young wife to
parts unknown. They are supposed to
have gone either to Ell Paso or to San
Francisco.
The affection Of Miss Coute for her
handsome lover has now turned to bitter
est hate and blood will be spilled, she
threatens. if Grewell and she ever meet.
Mrs. Grewell is said to have been warned
against her husband before their mar
rage. but she was infatuated with him
and would not believe the stories to his
discredit which were being told. When
informed of his Jason with Miss Coute
after their marriage. she is said to have
swooned away. She has, nevertheless,
chosen to accompany him in his flight
from the city.
Grewel is said to have married Miss
Rich, believing that she would bring him
large dowry. His expectations in this
direction were not, however, Rallied and
those who know the man are certain that
he will soon tire OF his girl wife and will
cast her off.
The facts have created a sensation on
the East Side. Giewell. when
the denouement came last Thursday
was in the employ of Harry Horstield, at
5OS DoWney avenue.
