Wildly Sensational.

Lovers of the sensational aud |
scan al were delighted few day ago |
to get hold of an expose of man,
without naming him, who with a
character upright and noble so far as
anybody here knew, was supposed to
have sunk to the lowest level of rob-
berry and basest crime. lie was sup
poaed to have stolen wife from the
side of her doting husband and die
appeared with her.
saturday evening the man, Mr., A.
Hartman, who has been associated
with Mr.. Shinn in the real estate
business in lola for several months,
appeared at his office in lola and was
greatly surprised when Mr.. Shinn
asked him about the report, which
he denies completely. In response to
request from the sheriff of Woodson
county, he was held here until the
deputy sheriff came over from Yates
center and took him. Mr.. Hartman
was surprised at the charge and at
his arrest, but said little. Mr.. Shinn
claims that he had driven to the
country and was engaged in super
intending the harvesting of the hay
crop on one Of his farms. He was IN
the Falls and dined at the hotel.
Mr.. Hartman used to live in Cotfey
county and was only slightly ac-
quainted with Mr.. and Mrs Mont
gomery, aud he never boarded with
them when they ran restaurant, as
is reported. 1t is charged that las
week he drove up to the house, per
suaded the faithful wife to lock the
little girl up in one of the bed rooms,
and fly with him. Buggy wheel
tracks led up to the gate, and the
neighbors describe the team as of the
color of the one which Hartman
drove. Mrs. Montgomery disappear
ed and has not been heard of since.
Some people living in Neosho Falls
were not surprised when they heard
of her disappearance as common re-
port has it that this is her second
escapade. she was good looking
and frivolous according to report. 1t
was supposed by the husband that
some body had run away with her
OF all the men who, perhaps, might
have been suspected, Hartman, 8
man reputed to be worth the price o
several farms, was a shining marx
and he may have to give up large
bill as damages to the wronged nus
band, whether the wicked wife re
turns or NOT, but he proposes to make
hard fight.
This is exactly the class OF case
which are always surrounded witt
great web of rumor and suspicion
and judgment should be reserved un
til the evidence is all in.

Drowned at Humboldt.

The Fourth of July is becoming q
cad anniversary at the town of Hum
boldt, Last year the day was com.
memorated by the murder of Byron
Cushman and this year another life
was lost. This year there was not
much of a celebration and no fights
uut the rain which prevented the
celebration was the cause of the
death. MIR. Geo R. Brady, a farmer
who lived many years in Salem town
ship but for several years has lived
southwest of Humboldt about four
miles, was drowned Tuesday while
trying to assist party of campers
who were threatened with destruc-
ton by the flood. The campers were
in the river bottoms and the flood
surrounded them. Mr.. Brady rode
horse into the water to help rescue
them, and the horse fell, throwing
the rider in the water, where he
drowned before help could reach him.
He leaves "A wife and two children
whe will have the deep sympathy of
their friends all over the county in
their loss.

An Annreciated Compliment.

A gentleman who has been a
constant reader of the DAILY REGIS.
TER for the past two years, remarke ed
the other day that in all that time
he had never yet found that this pa.
per had in any degree exaggerated or
in any way misrepresented any of
the enterprises which lola has Sc.
cured. The REGISTER refrains from
publishing rumOrs, except as rumors,
and when the location OF the works
are an assured fact the public is inn
mediately taken into the confidence
of the paper. Many papers have
made the mistake of publishing wild
talk which has never been followed
by the events predicted and have
thereby injured more than they have
helped the towns which they sought
to advertise, and 1t is therefore, pleas
ant to have unbiased testimony tC
the foregoing fact that the REGIsTEF
tells the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth about lola.
