Departure from HOme-Will
Work for John Chandler.

Schindeler Of Hoboken, N. j., per
formed in this city last Wednesday
evening by Justice Fraser, was some
thing of a romance. Since their maj
riage the eastern papers have contained
articles bearing upon the subject and j
seems that their coming to Montana
was at the instance of one John Norden,
who visited Hoboken, claiming to hal
from this section and being in search Of
a wife.
A Washington dispatch to the Min
neapolis journal says:
Interest in the sudden departure
from Hoboken, N. Y, of Johr
Noordam, a wealthy Montana ranch
man, who advertised for a wife and
got a hundred letters from women. is
revived by a telegram received by DR..
Theodore SCHNEIDER of Hoboken from
his l9.year.old daughter, Adelheid,
dated Billings, Mont, saying: Have
found out something dangerous. Send
me 5000 by money order via Adams g
press. Miss SCHNEIDER left home last
Saturday secretly. William Siebert,
son Of a New York police captain, left
at the same time, telling his friends he
intended to take a trip with his wife.
Noordam departed late Friday night,
and the fact that the telegram from the
girl is from Billings, near which the
Noordam ranch is located. leads the
police to think all three left for the
west together under peculiar circum-
stances. While in Hoboken, Noordam
stopped at Bann's hotel, next door to
S%chindler's home; Siebert had a room
in the hotel. On Thursday last Moor.
dam confessed to Bann that Siebert had
introduced him to a woman in New
York, and he was going with Siebert
to marry the girl when Bann stopped
him. 1t was learned that Siebert
bought two tickets for the west on the
Pennsylvania railroad. DR.. SCHNEIDER
says Siebert exercised a bad influence
on his daughter. He will not send her
the money" .. ....
