Mrs. Dan McCann Coming Back to
Find Out About Her Rival.
She Says They We're Married -Four
Months Ago-Does Not Believe
Dan Untrue.
EXPECTED FOR A SETTLEMENT

Mrs. Dan McCann is likely to go
on the war path when she returns to
Paducah, il the Louisville papers
quote her correctly. She is the young
blonde who was so faithful at the en-
gineer's side at the Illinois Central
hospital here for several days after he
was SC badly hurt in the Caneyville
wreck and had a foot cut off, but she
left soon after the woman from Mis-
sissippi arrived to also minister to the
injured man as wife.
Il is understood that Engineer No
Cam when asked about the affair,
merely replied to one of the hospital
attendants that che believed he did
have a wife or two"
Yesterdays Louisville Herald says
that Mrs. MoOann said emphatically
when asked about the affair:
"'Dap McCann has too much good
sense; is too loyal and honorable to
marry one woman when he is already
welded to another
Mrs. McOann returned from Padu-
osh Friday night where she has been
ever since the wreck nursing her hus-
band. All day yesterday and the day
before sympathizing friends called
upon her and assured her of their
wishes that the bigamy charges would
prove groundless. She lives in oozy
little cottage at 1918 Twelfth street.
She is decidedly pretty, has speaking
blue eyes and is not more than thirty
years old. She met Dan McCann in
the south, and married him four
months ago. The railroad man was
regarded by his friends as . divorced
man, his first wife living in Water
Valley, Miss. Mrs. McCsnn's friends
state that their welded life was per-
fectly happy.
There was not one cross word be-
tween them from the beginning of
their honeymoon, said a friend of
Mrs. McOann yesterday.
There may be melodramatic meet
ing between the two women claiming
to be McCann's wife. Mrs. McCann.

from the shock following the smputa-
tion of his leg.
Lines Of trouble that had gathered
in few days were visible on Mrs No
Cams face yesterday as she sat before

Twelfth street.
Troubles never come singly,' she
said to a Herald reporter. First
comes this wreck and the misfortune
it brought, and then these awful ru.

for woman to bear.

He is not that kind OF q man. We
