Chanute Man AbandOnS His Wife for
Another.
Chanute. May 1O.-A constable came
and returned this morning with Will
there to be settled. The arrest was
made early this morning by Marshal
Meanor and Chapman was turned over
to the constable before the train left
for Pittsburg. Although he will have
to answer to the charge of skipping a
board bill it is very proba BILE that other
charges will be brought against him.
Chapman has wife and four chill
dren in Joplin whom he deserted about
two years ago and since that time re
has aided them but little. When he
left his family he began living with a
woman whom he represented as his
wife. He went to Pittsburg from Jop-
lin and it was at that time that the
fateful board bill was accumulated by
himself and wife. When he jumped
this bill. they came to Chanute and
registered at the Delmonico hotel as
MIR. and Mrs. Chapman. He introduce
ed the woman with whom he was liv-
ing to several people in this city, and
no one suspected that she was not
his lawful wife. Finally he went to
work in a livery stable and the woman
began serving as a domestic. He still
owes a board bill at the Delmonico,
but the charge of abandonment will
cause him to forget the board bill
cases. During the past two years Chap
man has sent his wife but a few dol
lars, causing her to be a recipient of
charity.

that the troops are vigorous and

active operations and that the entire
native population, including that of
the commercial world, is friendly to
Russia and full of faith in the Russian
arms. The correspondent says:
The Chinese volunteer militia form
ed there present a good appearance,
wearing a special uniform with epau-
lettes bearing the Russian national
flag. The natives provide provisions
freely and are selling horses brought
from the surrounding country. The
mandarins are an exception to this

THE railroad holds out splendidly

are doing duty in the neutral zone, di-
viding China and Manchuria. The
