SEQUEL NO ROhANC[
Former Marshalltown Business
Man Brings Suit Against His
Lady Clerk.
Suit to Recover $4,000 Creates
a Big Sensation in Marion,
Indiana.
Woman Now the wife Of a Very
Prominent Resident Of That
City.

A suit in which two former MARSHALL
town residents are the principals has
been commenced at Marion, md, ana
has created the biggest kind of sensa-
ton at that place because OF the
prominence of the woman ana her
present husbands family. The action Is
brought by Oliver NJ. Anstead. at one
time dry goods merchant in this city
against Mrs. Lizzie Yohn-Ayers. who
az Lizzie Yohn was his head clerk, con-
fidential adviser, constant companion
and according to current gossip in
Marshalltown at the time, his sweet
heart.
Mr.. Anstead for number Of years
and UP to 1889, was engaged in the dry
goods business in this city, conducting
the Red Lion" store in the City Ma
tional Bank block. Miss Yohn came to
this city with him and when he retired
from business it was supposed that she
left with him. He was a handsome,
well dressed man and Miss Yohn was
tall, graceful, attractive and aristocrat-
ic in appearance.
The proprietor and his clerk We're al
ways together, attended social func-
lions in each others company and were
looked upon as lovers. Their later his
tory Is revealed In q telegram to the
I'.-R. from Marion, Ind, received Fri
day night The telegram follows:
oliver NJ Anstead, claiming to be q
former business man Of Marshalltown.
I afo "a
Ayers for 100000, which he says is only
n part of the money she has robbed him
of. Anstead came here week ago
looking for work. While on the streets
he saw and recognized Mrs. Ayers, and
the suit resulted. Anstead's story is
that several years ago Mrs. Ayers, then
Miss Lizzie Yohn, was bookkeeper and
manager of his store in Marshalltowti.
They left there and established store
in Grand Rapids. afterwards going to
Illinois, where Anstead started stores
In Decatur and Bloomington. Miss
Yohn had charge of the Bloomington
store and Anstead says she required SO
much money that it forced his assign
ment in Decatur. AS soon as he as
signed he says Miss Yohn sold out the
proceeds, 100000, together with some
manifest diamonds which he had given
her, and he lost all trace of her until a
few days ago, when he saw her on the
streets here.
In the time between her leaving
Bloomington and now, Miss Yohn mar
ried Lafayette Ayers, a prominent cap
italist here, brother-in-law of George
Webster. of the Marion Bank. and who
Is also related to many prominent citi-
zens, moves in the most exclusive cir
cles and belongs to numerous clubs
whose members are swells of society.
Anstead's attorneys, Allen & Peterson,
say they have complete case and will
prosecute it without reference to the
influence of the woman's family and
Anstead says the woman
has a number of relatives In Marshall
town and other Iowa cities. The mat
ter has created a tremendous sensation
here on account of the prominence Of
Mrs. Ayers relatives.

GERS of this place. The article states
that Jasper Richeson contracted small

1t Is probeble that Marshalltown will
gain and not lose by the consolidation
Eof the Central and nj. ~ st. l.. The
two systems will make one large one,
and this city will be more favorably
located on the line than it is at the
present time, and than it has been
since the Peoria extension was placed
in operation on a direct and thru line
from Minneapolis and St Paul to Pc
oria and the other terminals of the
Iowa Central. Albert Lea will be one
division point, being los miles from
Minneapolis. Marshalltown will be
near the center of the system and
therefore be most convenient for the
general shops. The shops in Mar.
shalltown at the present time are en-
tirely inadequate for the Central
alone, and 1t Is probable that within
the next twelve months the shops will
be rebuilt and enlarged to meet the
demands of not only the present Iowa
Central, but of the consolidated sys-
tenn, towards which the efforts Of those
in control are now conferred.
