said that several young ladies of excellent
families, at various times. won his heart
and hoped to we'd him, but he proved cru
ely false. One of them pined, grew mel
ancholy and died.
The affair which is commonly believed
to lavc led to the tragedy began six years
ago. when Mrs. Annie George moved to
Canton and opened Il dressmaking estab-
lisllment in the block owned by SaNton.
She was attractive of face and had n be-
witching form. Her husband was an hon
est. industrious man, who furnished a
shabby contrast to The polish OF SaXton.
The dressmaker and her landlord were
soon on friendly terms. The gossips used
their names a good deal and finally Mrs.
George went to Dakota and secured a di.
yorce from her husband. She always said
and few disbclieved her statcment-that
more, that he was going to marry her ulti-
mately. When the husband learned that
he had become q domestic has-been by
decree of n Dakota court. he brought suit
against SuXton for 100000 for alternating
his wife's affections. This suit was COM
promised when SaXton paid George ST..
ii25.
Meanwhile SaXton and Mrs. George had
had trouble. They finally got to quarrel
ing over rents and articles of furniture
rnd the eases were aired in the local
courts of Canton. Then Mrs. George be-
gan to say that she would get revengc;
that SaNton had promised to marry her
and that-so it is said by one or two per.
sons-she would kill him if he did not dc
so. She carried her threats further and
recently was arrested upon a charge made
by Mrs. Eva Il. .Altllousc. IL friend OF
SaNton. that she had threatened violence
and death To Mrs. Althorsc.

s%ational case in Minnehaha County about
Il year ago and as u result of the revela-

about 120 Spanish prisoners confined
