Around a wel-to-do Bohemian farmer
commonly known as 'The Flying Dutch
man." who lives in Caldwell township
clusters quite romance which has been
revived in the minds of the Caldwell pub
lie during the past few days.
0swell was about fifty years of age
prosperous, but lonesome. He wanted a
paper he got into communication with a
Kansas City widow. Finally he went to
see her. She proved to be a Jewess.
His visit resulted ir an arrangement
that the widow should come TO his home
for three weeks, on trial as it were. If
she liked him and the place and he liked
her they were 70 marry. She came. Both
were pleased and. at the end of the three
weeks, they were married, some four or
five months ago.
The week following the marriage the
bride returned To- Kansas City on bus
mess visit. Upon her return, the bus
band was astourded to see her accompa-
MED by three pretty and elegan young
ladies whom she addressed as her daugh-
tiers. This was sumner to the old gen.
tleman, but he accepted the inevitable
with the best grace possible.
In a short time the new Mrs. Oswell
had installed a servant ir- the house 10
do the drudgery; the old gentleman had
bought her new carriage and team.
The new family seemed TO be living hap
PLY together. Mrs. Oswell and her daugh-
ters often visited Caldwell and the young
ladies soon had many admirers.

chan; ir Caldwell He has a son George,
% year old, who clerks for him. George
has sowed his patch of wild oats, or it
may be even a good sized field of them
Consequently. his parents We're pleased
when he recently announced TO them his
intention Of marrying and settling down.
He had been paying his addresses 10 a
young lady who was a great favorite OF
his mother. The wedding was TO take
pace next week. In order that the young
couple might have home Of their own
suite OF three rooms was rented over
Ross drug store. Mrs Bennett fitted
them up with nice, new furniture and
such other conveniences as mothers
loving heart and skillful hands suggest
ed.
But the best laid plans Of mice and
men aft gang aglee." Last Saturday
morning yourg Bennett secured buggy.
He drove 10 the Osweil farm. Mrs. Os-
wells second daughter. Miss Anna Hycz.
the Jewess, was expecting him and
awaiting his arrival. A few hours later
they drove into Wellington, secured a
marriage license and were married in
this city during the day; drove back to
Caldwell and went to housekeeping that
night in the apartments that had been
fitted IN for another bride.
The elder Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett knew
nothing Of their sons marriage until
Sunday morning. They We're very highly
incensed al his action. But we hope that
time vii. assuage their grief; that their
Disappointment will be forgotten; that
their new found daughter may prove
herself worthy Of their fondest affections
and that George will really settle down
and make model son and husband.
