wife's first husband are likely to be
awarded to c. w. Staeff1er of this city.
The defendant is the Menasha Wooden
ware company. The remarkable case is
on hearing here before Judge GoOdland,
and after a secret conference between
him and the attorneys on both sides it
was asserted without contradiction to-
day that the case would be taken from
the jury's hands and decision rendered
for the plaintiff.
Christ Schmidt,a firemen employed by
the defendant concern, was killed July
/, 1894, by the blowing out of a boiler

the boiler attachments. The case drag
ged along for several years, and in the
meantime Mrs. Schmidt, who had a son,
married Mr. Staef.-er.
While the case was pending in the su-
preme court Mrs. Staeffier died. Mr.
half of the child While this suit was
pending the child died, and Mr.. Staef-
fer is now suing, as administrator and
beneficiary of the estate, to recover
damages for himself The case now
before the circuit court asks for $40 600
damages, instead of $1,000, as was orig
inally claimed, the ground for the raise

ADM1REs THE WIDOWS.
Wichita Women Victims of a Bogus
Arizona millionaire.

Wichita, Kas., Nov. 19.-Wa1ter c.
Myers. who claims to be millionaire
cattleman Of Tombstone, A. II, was ar
rested here on the charge of presenting
alleged forged checks to a number of
widows of Wichita from whom it is said
he had exactcd a promise of marriage.
Myers came here some weeks ago. and
because of his prosperous appearance
and gentlemanly manners he soon man.
aged to receive invitations to the social
functions of the upper set in this city.
In this manner ne became acquainted
with a widow, whose bearing was
charming, and the Arizona man inne-
diately planned to lay siege to the heart
of the Wichita lady. It was definitely
decided that the two should wed in the
near future During the days in which
he was telling the first lady of his inten-
tions, Myers met another Wichita widow
and the same story was related, Myers
continued his court to both women and
within a few days more a. third widow
was placed on the list of those who
would go to his Arizona home and live
in luxury.
From each of these he exacted a
promise that the engag cement would be
kept a secret for a few weeks. But
meanwhile he took them to different
jewelry store to select the enga cement
ring, which was to be purchased later.
Two of them, Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Allen,
We're given checks with which he in
sisted they should purchase their we'd
ding outfits. In this manner the fraud
was exposed. The checks were for $500,
on the First National bank of this city,
an institution which does not exist here.
The managers of the stores to which the
widows had gone informed them of this
fact and they avowed that they had not
known this before. Mrs Kay at once
became suspicious of the millionaire
cattlenan and she reported the matter
to the police. She had hardly left the
police station when Mrs Allen came to
make q similar report to the chief De-
tectives were detailed to arrest Myers
and that individual was soon brought
in. He confessed that he was not worth
anything, that he had signed the checks
and made love to the three widows only
as a part Of game he was playing.
Just what his game is he refused to
tell
The police say he is the same man
who secured some Jewelry here a year
ago and in connection wrote number of
checks on the Kansas National bank
which proved to be worthless, and the
parties feeced could not secure recourse.
