Thursday night, June 8, Nora, wifi.
of Robert FL. Boyer, who lives 16 miles
north Of Mexico, took few pillow
slips and towels and bidding her hus-
band goodbye with a note, which she
left IN the room, took flight to parts
unknown.
The note which she left was written
by two persons, the first part by her.
self and the latter probably by the
man whom she left with, and ran as
follows:
"RoBERT: I will give you notice
that am going to leave you. I will
not run of like a negro; will tell you
I am going. I can't stay here; 1 will
go crazy if 1 do. The people have got
it in for me and will have to leave
some time. have a man to take me
to the road so you need not be uneasy
about me; I am going. Twill come to
see Clarence If you will let me. Aunt
Mary says that spoiled all her COM
fort; she tells that to everyone that
comes here. You can get Kate to do
the work if you like; you like her bet
ter than me, anyway.
"NoRA BOYER"
Clarence is five year old son to
whom the mother seeued to be warm
ly attached. Aunt Kate is an aunt of
Boyer's, who lives with him and, ac-
cording to Boyer, always treated his
wife we'll. Kate, whose second name
Boyer refused to give when seen by a
LEDGER reporter, is a friend to the
missing woman.
Boyer, after close questioning, told
the following:
81 married Nora Garner years ago
and she is twenty-four years old
to-day, the 18th. She had, in former
years, lived in Mexico, out towards
B. r. Cauthorn's. For three years we
lived together nicely, until about four
years ago she became intimate with q
man in the neighborhood by the name
of VIM. Ball and we parted for time,
but upon her promise to lead a better
life she came back to me and we lived
happily until last Thursday night a
week ago, when she left me while I
was asleep, leaving the note telling of
her going.
81 feel sure that she went away with
a man by the name of A. j. Baker,
who put in crop on my land on
the partnership plan last year and
since then has been employed in farm
ing and trading horses near Santa Fe.
He was hard drinker, and about a
month ago he was heard to say that
if he had another woman like Nora he
would never be troubled with making
a living, and in that way have made
up my mind that she ran away with
him and is leading disreputable life
somewhere. She is fine looking
girl, with dark brown hair and eyes.
She has a mole on the left side of her
chin and is about feet high, is a
good talker and smart. Baker is
about feet tall, raw-boned, bald
headed, wore light suit Of clothes
and when last seen wore light mus
tache, which was dyed black.
"The note my wife left me made me
mad, especially the last part of it
where she spoke about Kate. have
never given her cause to speak OF
Kate and I in that way. We have
always gotten along we'll together, but
1 have told her if she cared more for
someone else than she did for her hus-
band and boy that he was the one she
should 60 to. Iwould not be hunting
her now il 1t was not for her father,
who lives miles north of where I do,
who begged me to come to Mexico
and try to find her.
W have learned since I started out
that Baker disappeared about the
same time my wife did and man an6
woman answering their description
were seen Saturday by man working
for Mr.. Mudd, miles north of here
They had a trunk tied on behind ths
buggy and were travelling towards
Mexico"
The woman, If she is leading an inn
proper life in Mexico, is not seeking
the usual haunts sought by that class
as was discovered by LEDGER re
porter last week. The duped husbant
stayed with John Smith, who lives II
miles northwest Of Mexico, Frida.
night. Smith is an uncle of Boyer
erring wife. Mrs. Garner, of Eas
Promenade street, is an aunt.
