chel's Runaway Was Only a Ruse.

Albert T.. Isenhart. the Iowa Central
fireman and bigamist, held to the grand
jury of Hamilton county, on the charge
of bigamy, secured the necessary bonds
from custody. Isenhart arrived here
Thursday evening. His bonds We're
signed by Ross Phillips and Mrs. Mar
lila Loughrey, both of this city. Mrs.
Isenhart and Isenhart's mother met
him on his arrival in the city, and he
has again taken up his abode with the
wife he so cruelty wronged but a little
more than Il month ago.
This arrangement seems to be highly
satisfactory to the mother of his child
rem. who was more than pleased to
again have returned to her her way
ward husband. She manifested her
joy at again seeing him. They inn
medlately went from tha station to the
Isenhart home. at No. 1913 May street,
where the wife and his mother have
been living since his voluntary and
enforced absence.
Believe Mitchell Romance a Ruse.
To judge from the reports received
in this city from Webster City, 1t is
believed by some there that the leaving
of Miss Mitchell for her supposed mar
riage TO the cook, William Frank is
but game to allow Isenhart and Miss
Mitchell to meet again. 1t is said Isen-
harris attorney, while in Webster City,
~ itY,o ol hut !, hi nl{a
out of jail and bring him to this city,
where he would have him appear be-
fore the board of insanity, for the reas
on that the Webster City attorneys
did not have enough influence" with
the members of the board there"
County Attorney Blake, of Hamilton
county. stated that he believed Miss
Mitchelfs disappearance from Web
ster City was merely blind and that
she had. nor does not intend to marry
the man Frank. He thinks the going
away of the two together Is simply g
plot to give Isenhart and the girl g
chance to meet each other The part
Frank had in the matter, however, is
really a mystery, and the FEASIBILITY
of the story is strengthened by the fact
that they were not married In Fort
Dodge. as they had said they would be.
So far as Is known at Webster City
they have not been heard from. 1t has
been stated by Webster City officials
that Isenhart would be closely watched,
altho it is believed that Hamilton coun-,
ty would not spend any great amount.
to get him back should he disappear.
Attorney Denies Webster City Story.
So far as is known. Isenhart knows
nothing about the whereabouts of his
second wife, who left Webster City for
the purported purpose of marrying the
hotel cook. His attorney, who returned
from Webster City with him. says that
Mrs. Isenhart No. 2 had never been to
see the prisoner while he was confined
in jail at Webster City, and the only
time they met was at the preliminary
hearing. He further states that all in
sanity proceedings had been dropped.
at least so far as Webster City IS
altho he did not intimate
that such actions might be brought be-
fore the board of this county. He be-
lieves that the sudden leaving of Miss
with the hotel cook had a
most decided effect on the public sem
timent of Webster City in favor OF
[senhart. The Hamilton county grand
Jury will meet on Sept. %. when Isen
harts case will come up.
