ONCE LIVED Ar oLATHE.
A. E. Perkins, Murdered in Arkansas,
Had Been Married Before.

49, -
OIathe. Kas., March "A. E. Perkins,
who was murdered near BentonVllie,
Ark, was once a resident Of this county,
living at Monticello.
The records of the district court show
that on February /. 1895, he was d.
vorced from his wife, Annie L. Perkins,
whom he alleged in his petition had in
the year 1885 at Woodstock, VT, ADAM
doned him; that in the year 1885, re-
moved to Kansas They were married
at Hartford, VT, in 1869. Perkins stated
that he had not heard from his wife for
five years previous to fling his petition
for divorce. His bond for costs in his
divorce proceedings here was signed by
F. NJ. Langdon and the only witness
produced at the trial was Margaret
Langdon, with whom Perkins claimed
to be boarding at the time. Many here
remember the occasion in the court
room when this young woman, intellect
ua1 and charming as she was at about
q years of age, testifying in behalf OF
Perkins, who was probably 40 years her
senior It was very apparent at the
time that it was for the purpose of be
coming the wife of Perkins and Judge
Burris came near refusing a divorce.

Another Hasty Wedding.

Prom the Kansas City World.
Mamie Wicks looked very fine wher
he was introduced to Bessie Dell. II
was at a Chicago theater, and heart:
beat rapidly as Mamie bowed and muir
INJURED her name. He thought she wa
the handsomest girl he had ever seen
He escorted her to the home in which
she was a guest, for Bessie lives il
Monmouth. ILL.,, and arranged to take
lunch with her the next day.
The lunch consisted Of some delica-
cies and a good many 81 love you's.'
Next came a trip to the Office of a jus.
tiee OF the peace-and a wedding.
Time, twelve hours
A girl deliberately placed her life in
the keeping Of a man whom she had
never seen half Of aday previous. For
better or worse, she married a stranger.
With danger signals hoisted from one
end Of the country to the other; with
the divorce courts full OF married
wretchedneSs, and men and women
who discovered, and too late, their mis-
takes, q young man and a young wom-
an entered into a life association al
most as o as each had learned the
others name
Perhaps they will be happy. Per-
haps Mamie will make a good husband,
and the years will bring new tender
ness and heart comfort. Perhaps it Is
possible 10 arrange all these matters OF
the heart in a minute and not repent.
But it is risky business, and II ii
turns out badly it is worse for the wo-
man than for the nan in most In
stances.
