poor, wel-meaning but ignorant Irishman,
who worked all day and sat up with his

the case when il was found the pair was
last seen driving west from this city about
8 o'clock Wednesday night. Not a trace of
their movements from that time until the
present has been discovered. With the
missing pair has gone $3.50 belonging to the
aged husband, but which was deposited in
his wifes name at a bank in this city.
Drawing the money from the bank the
pair drove west from here, and since they
were last seen. near the city limits nothing
has been heard from them. Warrants have
been issued for both of the clippers, charg
ing them with stealing the harness which

their escape. The horse and buggy be-
lOnged to the deserted husband and father,
but the harness was the property of a
neighbOr.
