!: HAD MoRTGAGED HIS FARM
THE STORY OF HIS TROUBLES.
Traced Her to Milwaukee and
Thence to St. Paul-Is Determined
to Find Her,

Two poorly dressed men, one short
and the other tall, walked into the
Metropolitan hotel at IL o'clock last
night and asked for lodgings" The
short one wore an immense fur over
coat and carried a sack, tied at one
end. The tall man was without an
| oyerceat and his throat was bare. He
| bore large, ragged carpet sack.
Charles A. Hagen, the night clerk, said
everything was FULL He meant the
hotel had no rooms to spare, so they
picked up their bundles and walked
out into the night
The tall man was Michael Twoly,
and he halls from Springfield, o. His
companion goes by the name of Fer
maid, and claims to be a resident of
| West Superior, Wis A reporter for
the G b e ran across the two men
on Third street looking for a hotel.
The tall man talked about a female
named Susie, calling upon his com
panion to substantiate his statements
anent his good treatment of her Here
is his story:
Michael Twohy is a farmer and has
been working on a farm near Spring
field, O., for some time. On an ad-
Susan Kellar, whose father was a
wealthy agriculturist. Susan was one
of the proyerbial country maidens of
the novel, with chestnut curls and an
inclination to be f1irtatious OF course,
Twohy fell in love with her, and in the
due course of time married her and
settled down in a little home of his
own. All went smoothly until Susan
ho
large cities, and then she yearned no
more for the fireside of her country
home Her heart ached for the pleas
urs found in the cosmopolitan centers,
and the old-fashioned apple-dueking
parties and hay rides no longer struck
a sympathetic chord in her heart When
Mrs. Twohy returned to her rustic
| home she was discontinued and showed
her discomfort in every possible way.
Nothing that poor Michael could do
pleased her, and finally in fit of
despairing anger he slapped her and
| rebuked her with angry words for her
conduct towards him.
Three days afterwards the wife was
missing and the husband had for his
comfort a note telling him never to
expect to see her again. And he prob
ably never would have seen her, had
it not been for a girl chum of Susie's,
who had been the woman's con1dant.
Susie had left for Milwaukee to visit
friends and there sped the anxious hus-
band to forgive her and take her back
home again But Susie had left Mil
waukee for the Twin Cities and so the
faithful husband followed on, arriving
here yesterday morning via the North
western line:
On the train Twohy fell in with Fer
Maid, who. too had a tale of woe and
the old saying, misery loves conn
pany,'' was exemplified. All day yes
terday the two men hunted for the lost
Susie. They were on her trail and ex-
pected to find her today.
Twohy said he was confident that his
wife was in st. Paul, and he was de-
termined to locate her. He seemed
well provisioned with the filthy lucre.
He said, as he walked into a refresh
rnent emporium and ordered drink:
'Why,-it, L mortgaged my farm
to keep that girl in finery and then she
shook me. 1 bought her everything
she wanted even silk stockings and
leghorn hats, and then she left me,
d-n itr and big tears splashed down
in his appraised glass of beer.
The deserted husband is about thirty
years of age and if he were given a
clean shave and a collar in like con-
dition, would make good appearance.
