has disappeared from Yazoo City, and it
is well for him that he has. He left Tues
day morning, taking either the train north
at s:45, or south at 915, it is not positive
ly known which.
Beasley came to Yazoo City from Indi
ana in October last to take charge OF the
Mississippi Stationery Co. He was a
practical printer and gave evidences Of
being good man for the place. He was
hustler for business, and was given to
Dragging somewhat upon his achieve
ments. His work was satisfactory and he
was proud of his place. Among the en-
ployees of the institution Beasley was not
popular, as he assumed too much the air
of "boss," and for that reason there
have been many changes among the force
in the mechanical department in the past
six months.
Beasley was somewhat of society man,
and since coming to Yazoo City he has
played the part Of gallant quite extern
sively. He was fond of buggy riding and
was ever ready to have some young lady
accompany him. No suspicious that pos
siblY he might have wife somewhere
wereever thought of until Monday Of this
week when gentleman received an
anonymous letter, telling him that Beas-
ley had wife and to warn Young lady
to whom Beasley had engaged himself to
'be married to in Yazoo City.
This letter came as a shock, If was
shown to Beasley and he Indignantly ,le-
MED the charge. To prove the report was
false, he agreed to send a telegram to
Peru, Ind, and wrote out one which he
said he would carry to the telegraph office
and have sent at once. Instead of letting
Beasley take the message to the office.
one of the gentlemen interested carried it
himself. The following answer to the
message was received Tuesday morning:

As soon as the message was taken to
the telegraph office, Beasley became rest.
less. He Gid not stay at his boarding
house Monday night, knowing that his
Vil!ianous scheme was about up. Tues
day morning at 6 clock he hired horse
and buggy from one of the livery stables, I
saying that he was going to spend the day
at Lake City, taking Photographic views
for souvenir book of the city he was I
getting up. After getting few miles {
from the city he told the driver that it i,
looked so much like rain they would re-
turn to Yazoo City. The team was
brought back to the stable at 8 O. clock, I
Beaslev having gotten out of the buggy at {
the depot. Since then he has not been
seen, and If he places any value on his
life, he will not return. U
Several letters from one wife are in pos I
session of parties, and the question that c
he has three wives cannot be denied. He
was urging the young lady here to marry y
him and Immediately after the ceremony Q
to go off on a trip. His deep laid and c
carefully planned infamous scheme hap
PLY failed, which, shouldit not have been
exposed, Beasley would have wound up in
the penitentiaIy-where he belongs I
and young lady would have gone in sor ?
row to the grave. Il
BEAsLEY's BIGAMous RECORD. h
For infamy Beasley possesses record v
seldomed equalled, and how he has thus n
far successfully escaped meeting his just !,
deserts, is mystery to the Herald. That
he should be in the penitentiary or have c
the daisies growing over his grave, is c
what he deserves. Upon learning OF his
in Yazoo City, the Herald at
once set about to learn something of this y
gay Lothario past life and record. Tele
grams were sent 10 his former homes in b
Peru, Indiana, and Oakland, Illinois.
