Press dispatches from Denver say:
SHERIFF Davis, of Rawlings, Wyoming,
came to Denver Monday to take charge
of Rev g. NJ. Thorpe, evangelist,
wanted in Wyoming to answer to the
charge of bigamy. Thorpe, who ad.
mits he has wife living in Iowa, mar
ried a young girl at Evanston, Wyo.,
May 30, and deserted her in three days.
Charges of perjury and swindling are
also made against him." A Rev. G. NJ.
Thorpe lived in Audubon last year,
and deserted his wife here, leaving for
parts unknown last fall. 1t is very
probable that the man mentioned in
the Denver dispatches is the same in
diyidual.
The store Of T.. BilharZ 81 Son was
the scene Of bold attempt at burg
larry Sunday evening. At about 8
o'clock people in Van Gorder's restau-
rant heard sound of breaking glass,
from the Bilharz building Mr. Van
Gorder ran around to the back Of the
store, saw shattered window and a
man inside, only few feet away. Mr..
Van Gorder shouted, and the intruder
rushed to, the store to the front where
he made his escape by breaking through
one of the plate glass doors, and run
ming down the street before any one
could get near him. Nothing was
missed from the store as there was no
time for the thief to secure any goods. |
The work IS thought to be that of one
of pair of very suspicious looking
"bums" who had been lettering about |
town for a couple of days.
