Don't Marry n Man Who Wants You
Winona, Minn., Nov. 2O-But day or
so ago couple arrived in this city
from Hastings, Mimi, and put up at
one of the Winona hotels. There was
nothing remarkable about their visit,
only their actions gave rise to Il sus-
picion that they We're an clipping
couple. The girl told the landlady in
confidence ''that she was a fool and
ought to have stayed at home" She
went by the first name of katherine,
but her last name is not known here.
She, as we'll as the man in question,
were Luxemburgers. He was a har-
vest hand and had worked for her
father. The story goes, and with good
foundation, that lie looked pretty seedy
while in Hastings. But he told the
girl that he had a number of hundred
dollars due him at Dubuque. So they
started of together, minus papa's con-
sent. From Winona they went to La
Crosse, where the girl pledged her
trunk for fares to Dubuque. At Du-
buque they put up at Clay street
boarding house, and were to have been
married the next day. The girl be-
came suspicious and wanted her lover
to get the money due him. He tried to
put her off with several excuses, but
this only increased the girls suspic-
ions. Size roundly denounced him for
his perf.Gy and put off without him to
another boarding house. Her lover
sought her out and is said to have
threatened to shoot her IL she refused
to marry him. She then went to the
police. They promised to settle her
lochinyar If he should come near her.
Meanwhile she is in the care of the
matron OF the city police department..
