johnson Leaves Town After Talking
With Fiancee's Former Lover.

With Fiancee's Former Lover.
Charles Johnson, a clerk in Mime
apolis department store, and a young
man of good connections, is absent.
Johnson is believed to have gone TO
Seattle. There is some talk that he
is involved in another of the mental
alteration fiascos Of which one East
man is the exemplar. But Johnson
has good reasons for leaving town.
Like "Old Hoss' Hoey, he thinks
they're after him.
de fous." Johnson doesn't know it.,
but there have been others, and he is
not altogether to blame.
The woman in the case is suppress
ed. AT least her name has not appear
ed up to date.
Two weeks ago Johnson met the
woman and made up his mind on two
days notice to marry her. Johnson
says he asked the girl and that she
said yes, but it is whispered in other
directions that the gentleman pre-
sumed too much on the overweening
force of his personal destinations
Johnson lives at 1928 Fourteenth ave-
nue. south. The young woman lives in
the same part Of Minneapolis.
There was to be a wedding a week
ago last night. 1t did not occur. John
son had fifty guests on hand and
everything was merry, including the
marriage bells, but the bride was an
absentee. Inquiry developed that she
had changed her mind concerning
Johnson, and preferred to marry man
of less commonplace nomenclature.
1t appears that the girl was engaged
before she met Johnson to marry an
other man, who is not in a department
store. The other man and Johnson
have been close friends. The close
friend told Johnson what he knew, and
Johnson told the close friend what he
knew. AS a net result Johnson has
gone on a vacation, and the young
woman is out two earnest wooers.

American Trotters Entered on German
Race Tracks as Native Bred Horses.

race racks as Native Bred Horses.
Theodore Wiegand, registered at a
Minneapolis hotel as from Hamburg,
Germany, announces that he is the
special emissary of the emperor in an
effort to discover who owns the trot-
ting mares Alta S and Bessie B.
Alta S has been trotting on the Ger
man tracks, where speed is not very
strongly developed, in 2:16, and Bessie
has done her mile in 2:10H, which
latter was fast enough to copper the
game in a race with eleven starters,
two of them from the stables of a gov
eminent official.
Mr.. Wiegand says that information
has reached the government of the
German Racing association which
gives color to the charges that neither
OF the mares entered as German bred
animals was bred in Germany, but
that, in point Of fact, Alta S was bred
at Lincoln, Neb., while Bessie B is Of
Iowa and Kentucky descent.

SHE FORSAKES
STAGE FOR FARM
Iowa Country Girl Treads
the Boards and Is Glad
to Go Home,

Little Mabel Venables, of Sanborn,
Iowa, had a "hunch" for the vaudeville
stage, SO she forsook the destinations
of rural life and betook herself TO
Minneapolis, where a professor of
dancing undertook to show her the
steps requisite and necessary to even
ephemera1 success on the vaudeville
boards.
Mabel is eighteen and her father is
forty seven, wherefore he is much wis
er than Mabel and less impressed than
she is with the advantages of song and
dance salaries. Mabel had $40 when
she left Sanborn two weeks ago. Aft
er she had been in Minneapolis week
her reserve cash had dWindled to $40,
Whereupon she obtained employment as
waitress in one of the come gain
cafes of the lower Rialto. The pay
was So a week, and Mabel became tired
Of her contract.
Yesterday Venables, who is an en-
CINE wiper, despite his name, and an
employe of the railway shops at San
born. came here for the purpose of
taking his daughter back to the old
home. The young woman was discov-
cred by her fond papa In the very
act of singing at the top of her i'm
mature voice a familiar refrain that
begins with chicken and ends with
ham, interspersing the same with Gu
rious little breakdowns that remotely
suggested the lower class of vaude-
vile performance.
While she danced the tears ran down
her face, for Mabel had been working
until 1880 the night before, and she
lacked the vitality of her original en-
thuSiasm.
Reckon you can take care of the
house chores now without getting sad
over it ?' inquired VenableS, with some
acerbity. 1t is the way of man to
get rid of his anxiety rapidly when he
has found the cause.
81 believe I can, pa" responded Ma
bel, tearfully, whereupon she gave the
professor of Fourth street $2.75, his
balance on vaudeville instruction, and
betook herself to the farm on San
borns outskirts.
'I have had my little Dream" said
Miss Venables to a Globe reporter
last night. when the Bellies of Bean
told me I should be sure to make a
hit on the society stage, If ever got
a start. He offered to give me an en-
gagement at $40 a week if I would get
the necessary training, and when 1 saw
an advertisement in one of the papers
l answered it. Now 1 have had two
weeks of training. and you couldn't
drag me on the vaudeville stage with
wild horses. If God is good, I'll marry
a brakeman on the Omaha, and fry po-
tatoes for my living. I know when I'm
we'll off"
Mr.. Venables got track of his daugh-
ter through the Minneapolis police de-
partment, which located the mistaken
damsel in three hours from the time
that Venables had told his story at
headquarters.

the DlsbroW Trial

RIVERHEAD, L. l., Jan. 14-The first
witness today in the trial of Louis A.
Disbrow, indicted for the murder Of Clar-
ence Foster. was John S. Lawrence
father of ''Dimple" Lawrence, who lost

Lawrence testified that he had objected
to Disbrow keeping company with his
daughter and only the day before his

his request. Under cross examination
the witness said his daughter was a good
swimmer.
William Walton testified that Disbrow
had told him that Foster and "Dimple''
Lawrence were full asleep in the
Squiretown woods. Witness and Dis
brow spent that night together and the
prisoner walked the floor When asked
what was the matter Disbrow replied that
his heart was breaking, and also told wit

him, had thrown him on the ground The
next morning the prisoner told witness
that Foster and the Lawrence girl had
gone out in boat.

and Harry Levy suffered a wrenched
back and hip.
The fire started in the third story,
and was caused by the ignition of a
vat of gasoline in which a cleaner was
rtnsing a piece of silk. The liquid
burst into flames from the friction Of
the silk.
Miss Nelson, who was employed on
the third story, rushed out on the plat
form, but the flames had by this time
penetrated to the floor below and were
leaping nearer and nearer toward her.
Seeing her escape in that direction
cut off, she jumped for a small barn,
fifteen feet away and a drop of over
two stories. The young woman struck
on her back and lost consciousness.
She was taken to the city hospital, and
at late hour last night was resting
easily.
The building is damaged to the ex-
tent of $1,000, but the loss to the fab
RIGS being cleaned is not yet known.

ILLINOIS DOUBLE MURDER
Boy Who Died With HIS Mother Prob
ably Exonerated.

CARBONDALE, III, Jan. 14.-Develop-
ments today at West End; where the
alleged to have killed his mother and
then killed himself point to a double
murder and the generation Of the boy.
Notwithstanding that the mother in a
son was the perpetrator, the members
of the coroner's jury today, after being
discharged. said unanimously that the
child, in their opinion, was not guilty.
AS an explanation they point out that the
boys arm was only twenty-five inches
long, while the gun barrel was thirty
two inches, making it apparently a
physical impossibility for him to kill
himself. No powder burns were found
on his body. Opinion is general that an
unknown third person IS guilty.
