Detective Work.

MI. .Ayr, Ia. April 2l.-Dr. H. S.
iiuckins, the Benton druggist, INDUCED
in an extra wife as a luxury, and found
Monday To his financial sorrow that
support of the original wife was a ne
cessity. Dr. liuckns came to Benton
in December from clarinda, having
gone to that town from Cantril. Van
Euren county, the lady whom he in
PRODUCED us his Wife at All three places
going by the given name of Noma.
1t WAS not quite Il year ago that he
was living in domestic felicity at Car
thage H., with another wife. Mrs.
Katie Huckins, and their l6-year-old
son, j. Ilost iiuckins. II appears that
his rapid moves from place to place
with Mona were caused by the indefa-
tigablc spirit of Investigation which in
duced his first wife to track his foot
steps. Mrs. llucllins No. appeared
in Mt. Ayr Monday morning, bent on
having her wnilom spouse punished.
She is a comeiy matron of about S5
years of age. Her rival. also a hand
some woman, is some years younger.
Or, Huckins is just turned 40.
The story OF Mrs. Tluckns No. / Is to
the effect thai her husband left their
home In Carthage. Ill.,. ON April 20, 1903,
leaving her but 81 With which to keep
the wolf from the door. He wrote but
this told her that he did not care to
live longer With her. She Immediately
began attempts To trace him, and fol-
lowing him up, she swooped down upon
him Monday There Was no family
scene the pursuer delegating the work
to County Attorney Fuller and Sheriff
Miller, who found pr. liuclSins I'm Il
melting mood financially, so much so
that he turned over TO the officers the
entire drug stock for the support of
Wife No. l.
Dr.. Hucl1ins did moi insist on seeing
his former spouse. He said life had
been entirely too Interesting for him
during the eighteen years they had
lived together and that he was willing
to give UP all his property and call ii
a good trade. He and Mona will seek
peasanter chimes.
The detective work for Wife No.
was done by james p. Fletcher. who
has been roaming around over Iowa in
the guise of - horse buyer. He billed
the town of Benton about two weeks
ago. and while he did not buy amy of
the horses that We're brought i'm during
his two days stay, he acquired ut that
time the Information upon which he
and Mrs Huckins No. made their
strategic move.
