Twenty Years as L. S. Page.

Emporia. Kan, March 29.-After liv-

and bearing a spotless reputation, ev.-
dence has been produced which goes to
show that L. S. Page, who recently
moved to Guthrie, o. T., IS really l. $
Langmaid, and that he has wife hv-
ing in Lowell, Mass. When Page, or
Iangmaid came to I;nporia, he was
accompanied by woman claiming to
be his sister, and his mother, Mrs.
Lydia Langmaid, who died here fifteen
years ago.
Attention was brought to mis- case
through the fact that his alleged wife
has brought suit to obtain possession of
the property on the ground that her
husband was dead. The other heirs
claiming that he was still living began
an investigation, and traced him 10 Pc

it is said. he changed his name

young women of this section

months Delong proposed. and was ac-

day, and all preparations for the we'd

teen days and thirteen nights the bride
to be was his constant attendant, even
to eating her meals at his bedside.
The unluclxy combination of thirteens
had been noted, and when the thirteenth
day of illness ended today the sud
den death of the patient was hardly
a surprise to his superstitious friends.
The young woman who was to be a
bride April 13 is hysterical, and refused
to leave the hospital or be consoled.
