been caught Notice of the capture
came to Chief Dineen yesterday. They
are charged with adultery, the infor-
nation being sworn out before Judge
Page and signed by Hugh II. Mont
gomery, husband Of the woman.
Montgomery is now running a sa-
loon on East Fourth street, near the
circus ground, having left MIR. Pinck-
ney's employ since June. Way for
some time prior to the trouble had also
been employed by Pinckney and had
worked side by side with Montgomery,
whose home he invaded.
The Montgon1erys lived in apart
ments at the United Bank building and
were on terms Of friendship with way,
The latter frequently visited them ana
SO much confidence had Montgomery
in his friend that he failed to observe
the growing attachment between him
and Mrs. Montgomery. A friend OF
the Montgomery family told him
number of suspicious circumstances.
Montgomery charged his wife with In
fidelity, but the woman tearfully de-
MED any wrong doing and promised
to cut her aimirerfs acquaintance
Way was told by Mrs. Montgomery to
keep away from the house. He agreed
to do so.
The night of June IS, Montgomery,
going home from his work, found his
wife missing. He first made search
of the town for her and then, learning
that Way had also disappeared. he ap-
peared at the police station and had
warrants sworn out for the couple on
the charge of adultery. The warrant
has been in the hands of Detectives
Richard and Follis ever since.
The couple was traced to Nebraska,
South Dakota and thru Iowa, where
all knowledge Of their whereabouts was
lost. Cards with descriptions of the
couple were sent broadcast and on sew
eral occasions Detective Richard was
notified that the couple had been cap
tured. 1t turned out, however, that the
parties caught were not the ones
wanted.

A week ago the detectives got tip
that Mrs. Montgomery had been seen
on a train near Madison, Wis, by a
Sioux City man. More cards were print
ed and sent into the territory for ra-
dius of a hundred miles around Mad
ison. The woman was spotted and led
the officers to her apartment. The
couple surrendered quietly and an
bounced their willingness to return
here without requisition.
