He went from there to Oregon and took
a vessel and sailed for foreign parts.
Arriving in England he took up with
|. the first employment that offered.
which was bookkeeping for a large
brewery, which position he held for
four years, when he secured a position
as reporter on the London Daily Times
one of the largest and best of European
dailies.
His family have all grown up to be
men and women, as the correspondence

stand it no longer, and last month he

He found the Oldest son in Nebraska

that the rest of the family were in Ok
lahoma, living near Perry, SO he took
the train and arrived here Monday
evening, but has been unable so far 10
locate the loved ones he has been sep
arted from so long, although he IS
satisfied they are within a few miles
of our city.

cree, putting in only a general denial.
The cruel and inhuman treatment
consisted, according to the evidence,
in beating, bruising and generally mis-
treating her. On two occasions he
