is LOOKING FOR HIS WIFE
a. j. CAMERON, OF LITTLE FALLS
HAS TRACED HER TO ST. PAUL
He Tells Chief Schweitzer the story
of His Marriage and the Sub
sequent Developments.

A J. Cameron, Of Little Falls, N Y,
is in the city in search of his wife. Mr..
Cameron is a farmer and lives within
three miles of Little Falls. He called
at the office of Chef Of Detectives
Schweitzer yesterday afternoon and
told the chief the history of how he
had won and lost his child-wife.
Cameron said that three years ago
he married a second cousin of his,
named Anna Pulver, who lived with
her parents in Newark, n. J. The girl
was but fifteen years old when the
marriage took place and Cameron was
then thirtytwo. Cameron took his
youthful bride to his farm near Little
Falls, N. Y. where they lived in hap
piness for two years.
A year ago there came 10 the city Of
Little Falls a young man named George
H. Young. He secured employment at
one Of the large dry goods houses,
where he sold silks to the ladies. 1t
was there that the girl-wife Of Cam
eron first saw the clerk, and as the
young man was of rather prepOssessing
features and had a glib tongue, he
easily daZZled the girl. Soon the &C
quaintance made over the store counter
widened into a friendship, of which not
even Mrs. Cameron's friends had the
slightest suspicion. Notes were ex-
changed and clandestine meetings held
Of all these goings on Cameron was
ignorant, so he told Chief Schweitzer
Il always treated my wife kindly"
said Cameron, land was Mortified to
find her missing one evening when I
returned to the house after working in
the fields all day. She left a note on
the dining room table which stated
that she had gone and would never re-
turn. She begged my forgiveness and
asked me to forget her, as she was not
worth place in my heart or memory.
She did not say who she had eloped
with, but I discovered that she and
Young had left that afternoon for New
York city.
Il left my farm in the care of my
brother and started to trace the couple.
/ want my wife back and will forgive
all. For her sake I will not touch the
fellow she is with, but should I find
them both and she refuses to return
to me, will give him his just deserts.
l traced them to hotel in New York
city with the aid of a private detective
agency. From there they went to Buff
falO, where 1 lost track of them. I
searched for months In vain and re-
turned home. Three weeks ago this
same detective agency informed me
that a young man by the name or
George H. Young and wife were in
Omaha, that Young was employed on
an advertising scheme there. I imme-
diately dropped my work and went to
Omaha, only to find that they had left
there and had started for ST. Paul"
Cameron is seriously handicapped in
his search, as he refuses to swear out
a warrant for the couple. should they
be located and will not prosecute them.
Therefore, the affair is not altogether
within the reach of the police. All
Cameron wants is to see and sneak 10
his wife. He is searching the Twin
Cities high and low for the young
woman and haunts the theaters and
other places of amusement.
Chief SchweitZer promised to help
Cameron in his sad search.
