TROUBLES OF AN AGED LOVER.
Thomas Page BEING Sued for Breach
of Promise.

Thomas Page Being Sued for Brench
of Promise.
The trbulations of an antiquated lover
were presented yesterday in the superior
court when the case OF Martha Pendeton
against Thomas Page was taken up for trial.
There is just about a score of years diff
ference in the ages of the two contestants,
the woman being so and the defendant over
20. Mrs. Pendleton Is a woman of good
reputation in Council Bluffs and her recre-
ant admirer Is well-to-do farmer in
Boomer township.
AS brought out in the testimony yester-
day, Page was an ardent wooer despite
his years, and among the evidence of his
desire to wed the widow Pendleton are about
200 love letters that he wrote her at the
rate of two week for the two years he was
engaged in making the conquest These
will all be read in court today One of
them is of special significance. Half of the
page In this letter is devoted to large
scrawl of lourishes and labeled by the
sender. This is kiss"
Page, when on the witness stand, proved
a good witness for the plaintiff. He ad-
mitted upon cross-eXamination that he was
lonesome and went to see Mrs. Pendleton
to be comforted Her side of the case Is
that he persuaded her to consent to marry
him and even get her wedding outfit. She
had all her dresses made and had sold off
her household goods in expectation of TAX
ing charge of Mr.. Pages establishment.
The defendants children, II Is asserted, in
terposed at this juncture OF the affair and
influenced their father to not marry again.
Mr.. Page had been welded twice before
and reared two families. Acting under
their advice he failed to appear on the day
set for the wedding with Mrs. Pendleton
and refused to give any further explanation
OF his conduct
Notice of the present suit for So 900 dam
ages followed and shortly afterward he
transferred the bulk OF his real estate. es-
timated between $4,000 and $4,000 to his
children. This transfer. 1t is claimed by
the plaintiff, was done to avoid the liability
on the claim for damages for breach OF
promise Action will be begun in case
verdict is obtained against Page, to have
these conveyaEces set aside.

about the theft in Council Bluffs and the
destruction of the pension papers When

Father and Son In Trouble.

A. Fosdck was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Weightman at the corner of Seventeenth
and Webster streets, Omaha last night
on charge of assault with intent to com
NIT murder. The man came to Council
Bluns without requisition paperS Fosdick
Is the man who came to the home of F. A.
Roettger on Avenue B Sunday night and
threatened to shoot Mrs Roettger His
name was not known at the time, but he
had been there several times to make re-
pairs on the house for the agent j. W.
Squire, and in this way the police got on
his trail.
A striking coincidence has developed in
the case, and the police are now looking
for the mans son. John Fcsdick who is
wanted for the same offense which, it Is
claimed, was committed about the same
time. A young girl named Raymond charges
that John Fosdick ac Csted her and her
escort on Glen avenu Sunday night and
at the point of a revolver tried to force her
to go with him. She has known him for
some time but refused to accept his atten-
tions. She states that while she was walk
Ing along Fcsdick rushed up and with an
oath threatened to kill the young fellow
she was with. Her escort lost no time in
getting away and then, the girl claims,
Fosdick held the revolver to her breast
and demanded that she accompany him
instead she ran away screaming for help
About o'clock Sunday night a man came
to the police station and inquired for or
icer Murphy. No one knew who he was
at the time, but he now turns out to be the
elder Fosdick.
