Wife No. 2 wrote to him and wife No.
8 found the letter in the coat Of William
H. Grandstaff Of Lamar. That was the
way the discovery that he was bigam-
ist was made. Thus runs the tale told
my Sheriff j. II. Frisbie Of Prowere
county at the statehouse today, when he
asked Governor Peabody for requsition
papers on the governor OF Kansas for the
return Of Grandstaff, who is under ar
rest at Hiawatha, Kan.
Bi amy is the charge placed against
Grandstad by two of his wives. He was
married thrice, but one of the women is
dead. Two women, each with child
by Grandstaff, are about to have the
law on the faithless spouse.
Grandstaff was married in Missouri
several years ago, the complaint alleges.
On March l6, 1903, he was welded to
Miss Stella M. Jones of New Mexico.
The anniversary Of his wedding day will
be passed in the Lamar Jail, II the cal
culations Of Sheriff Frisbie come true
A letter was what did the business.
Just message of love and admiration
from Merrimao, Okla. Wife No. 2 was
lonesome for her dear husband and she
told him 30 in the letter. Other letters
may have been written. but Sheriff
Frisbie didn't mention the fact II there
were, but the particular letter was found
In the coat OF Grandstaff by the faithful
wife while he slept.
When the Lamar woman discovered
that she had been deceived she wrote to
the other woman who claimed the same
man and the two decided that some
thing should be done. Accordingly a
complaint was made against Grandstaff
and given to Sheriff Frisbie. He traced
the much married man through Ne
braska and accidently learning that he
was in Kansas teleRraphed the sheriff at
Hiawatha and was fortunate enough to
land the alleged bgamist-Denver
Times.
He was known in Lamar as w, II.

The troupe which presented "In Con-

house, deserved much larger audience
than was present. The play is a good
one, and full of exciting episodes, as we'll
as humorous ones. The members Of
company are all artistic. and there was
nothing overdone or extravagant. The
specialties were also good, especially the
one by little Ruth and Helen Leise, who
did some very clever singing and dane
ing.

kept or not. But he was exceedingly

Whore They Missed II.


It was their first baby.
The mother was in perfect rapture.
1t was an ugly baby. but she did not
know 1t.
Happy young mother.
All Of them are like her.
But the father had dark misgiv-
ings.
His salary was only two-ten week,
and babies are an expensive luxury.
and babies are expensive iuxurles.
Her father was rich, but he had
frowned upon the union, and had het-
erodox and heretical notions as to sup
porting a som in-law besides.
Cruel old man!
One day. when the baby was about
a month old, the father came home
from his office in the city and found
his wife radiant.
She was not happy when the baby
was out Of her sight.
What is 1t, Jennie?" asked her hus-
band, gloomily, for he was yet uneer-
tain as to the blessings conferred by
the baby.
He was also sleepy.
ooh. Charles" she chirruped, i
heard from papa today"
Charlie looked gloomier than ever.
"Don't say anything, dear" she
pleaded, for she knew her husbands
opinion of her father. He has heard
of our baby and though he has not yet
determined to forgive us, he has sent
us a check for fifty pounds, for dear
baby's sake.
At first the young husbands face
lit UP with pleasure, then it shadow
ed again.
Are you glad, Charlie?" she asked,
with a quivering lip.
Then he smiled joyfully.
Yes. darling" he whispered, "but
what a pity 1t wasn't twins!"
