 Whatever mystery may have hung over this change of name is cleared
 away by the following from the Port
 land (Mich) Review, the story of Mrs.
 Huntoon:
 Mrs Elmer B. Huntaon and her
 three year old son arrived in Portland from Phoenix. Arizona. Friday after
 noon. They left Phoenix Monday ev- enislg, and made the long journey without accident or incident worthy Of mention. A Review reporter called at the home of her parents. AIr. and Mrs.
 George Gott. Saturday morning ] Though naturally shrinking from the ] notoriety which the publication of her ! name in connection with the unfortu- i nate affair that brought her home ! would occasion. Mrs Huntoon was willing to give the true story of her | visit to Phoenix and the sensational de ] velOpments which followed. Mrs ] Hurtoon's determination to visit her l husband was caused by the receipt of ! q letter from him. from the contents ! of which the conclusion would be drawn that his health was bad and i that he needed the care and attention that only wife could give SubSe- quert events showed. hIWever that 1 HuItOOn did not calculate on the let ter bringing his wife to his side. Mrs. i HuntoOT reached Phoenix Monday evening June 9. She called upon the doctor who had been treating her huS- band. and found that he was stopping at the Commercial house. She went to the hotel, found that he was regis tered there. and was shown to his room. Huntoon was lying down. and was dumbfounded at the sight of his ! wife. The welcome was hardly what a wife would expect from q husband whom she had traVeled nearly two l thousand miles 10 see. She explained that she thought he needed her. and that she had come to stay with him sind do what she could for him. When Huntoon recovered from his surprise.

 Mrs. HuntOon was very much srr- 1rised at the physical condition Of her husband. He apparently weighed i about 190 pounds. was as fat as q pig and gave no exterior evidence of i'll | health. The next day after lier arriv- al. HuntcGn. his wife and boy. were taking their breakfast at q Chinese restaurant. when a we.1-dressed wom- an came in and accoSted I1untoOn iii familiar way. The latter was some what disc0ncerted for moment but introduced the woman to his wife. Mrs. HuntOOn noticed the familiarity between the two and thought it a Iit- tie strange. HUntoOn and his wife had previously made up their minds to rent some furnished rooms in the city during the 1atter'S stay. and the strange rT0man took q lively interest in trying to find them q desirable To- cation. Rooms were secured and Hun icons personal effects were transfer Ted thereto. While unpacking his trunk Mrs. HuntoOn ran across q bun d;e Of her old letters and was in the act of burning them when she discov- cred among them this telegram:

 Then it was that Mrs Huntoon re- called that her husband had unguard- edly addressed the strange woman in the Chinese restaurant IS '.Jessie'' and her feelings can better he ima@- ined than described. The telegram was marked collect and Mrs. Huntoon wondered if the money she had sent her husband and which she
