BAUGHMAN SUED.
Sequel to Mysterious Disappearance
of Shawnee County School
Teacher

The divorce proceedings which were
commenced in the district court Thurs
day by Prudence Baughman, who asks
to be divorced from Samuel Baughman,
recall the rather strange story of his
desertion Of what was thought to be
happy home. Mr.. Baughman was
school teacher living in Rossyille with
his wife and child. He had been mar
ried two years and his marriage rela-
tons were in all respects pleasant so far
as any of his friends knew.
During the summer of 1898 he came to
Topeka to attend the teachers institute
and on June disappeared. 1t was
thought that he had been murdered and
a search was made but nothing was
heard of him and for a year it was
thought he was dead.
After he had been gone more than a
year he was discovered teaching school
in Nebraska. He gave no explanation
for his strange actions and requested
the parties who found him to say Moth
ing concerning his past life to the peo-
pie where he was then living. He re-
fused to return here and said he had no
objections to his wife getting a divorce.
This she refused to do but has since re-
considered her decision and yesterday
filed the suit and asks for divorce on the
grounds of desertion. The child died a
short time after Baughman's disappear
ance.
