CORDOvA'S MYSTERY.
A Clinton Paper Finds Dat Something
About the NJ aarten Family.


The Clinton Age has been iuvesti-
eating the Maarten family who lived
in Clinton previous to their removal
to Cordova. where have developed OF
late sensational reports concerning
the discovery of Chris Haarten
and the taking of his place in the
ia mily by an Italian who came there
with the family. While Maarten
has. as heretofore been stated in The
ARGUS. been heard from, there still
clings to the case q certain mystery.
and hence the following from the Age
is of interest:
Investigating the mystery further
he Age finds that the Maarten fam
iiv last year lived in the wagon works
Thomas farm west of Clinton. He
is said to have been a Woodworking
man, and very thrifty one, getting
the best end of the bargain. lie had
come to Clinton, he said. from Kan
sas. where he had lost all he had on
4 poor farm. He is said to have been
very negligent about caring for his
person. and the family are said to
have been in Strengthened circum-
stances, MIR. Thomas advancing s.
we ky. with which to buy groceries.
They had four bright children--Em-
ma. u very beautiful girl of 10 years,
with long, curly hair: Mary, the
second child: Christie. the third. and
a baby. Emma is the one supposed
to be missing with her father. She
is said to have been unusually
bright. The family are Russians.
the fathers name being Chris Maar-
ton.
| The italian Knew the WIFE.
ut seems the Italian was closely
connected with the family here. His
name is Toncy San Francisco. abrc-
waited to Tony Sunday by Clinton
people. 1t is also said that some
time before Maarten disappeared.
probably while yet a resident of
Manufacturers addition, the Italian
and the Prussian had terrible fight,
in which the Prussian got decidedly
the worst of it, and is said to have
had one eve badly injured.
".Sunday' and the Maarten wo.
man were in Clinton visiting last
Thursday. coming in n buggy appar-
emily new. The woman was dressed
in white, with brown shoes, is said
to bc comely. and from large ilcshy
woman as she was in Clinton, she has
become much reduced in weight and
seems 10 have grown much hand.
somcr.
"Since this visit, and whether i,
should be connected with the two oil
not. the Aye cannot say. but since
Thursday there has been told in
lClinton that Christ Maartcn is work
ing for Mr.. kistncr, near Follctts.
This the Age has investigated, and
finds that he is not there. nor has he
been there. nor have the people there
ever heard Of such a man"
