Mrs. Margaret Augment who Dis
appeared from Kenosha is said
to be in Hiding in Chicago
DEPARTURE WAS PLANNED
Woman Had Even Sent Drayman for
Her Trunk, and the Husband Had
Told Him He Had Come to
the Wrong House

ne mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Mrs. Margaret An
M cement from Kenosha on the evening
or Jan. 20 has been solved, and the
pol1ce state today that they have al
most positive information that Mrs.
~ Augment is in Chicago. The evil
- dence that has been discovered seems
to indicate that the case is one of sim
pie desertion, and that the woman dis
satisfied with her home life in Keno
~ sha, has fled to Chicago, where she
has been able to keep herself in
hiding.
1t is not thought that the woman
10 left Kenosha without company. as
evidence has been brought to show
that woman answering the descrip-
ton OF the North side girl left Keno
OO sha on the evening in question in
company with man who had been in
the city for the week previous, and
VINO had been stopping at house on
90 Park street. On the afternoon that
Mrs. Augment disappeared woman
called at this house and asked to
leave small package for the man in
90 question. The paper, which had been
wrapped round the package, had been
torn, and the people in the house dis
covered that the package contained a
M number of articles most necessary for
woman's attire. The man seemed to
be conslderab bly, wrought up when the
package was delivered to him, but he
oo made no comment and later placed
r. h c14:x1
the 500 train left for Chicago that
evening the man returned to the house
90 for his baggage and he was accom-
- panied by woman dressed in black
with big black picture hat, and
wearing brown coat. The couple
left at once for the train and the man
" stated that they we're going to Chi
cago.
The police have also learned that
on the afternoon that Mrs. Augment
% departed from the city, a drayman
called at the home on the North side
to get her trunk. The husband was
at home at the time and insisted that
the man had made mistake and had
10 come to the wrong place. It now
seems clear that Mrs. Augment had
planned to leave the city early in the
day and had packed her trunk for
departure. The man with whom she
70 is alleged to have left the city re-
turned to Kenosha on Monday and
settled up his affairs and left stating
that he would not return to Kenosha.
He declined to give his name
y, Chief Of Police Reinold stated this
morning that he was in possession Of
these facts but as there has been no
warrant issued for the arrest Of Mrs.
Augment or any charges made against
= her the police department had no
= cause to act in the matter. There is
no doubt but that the woman is per-
fectly safe and in Chicago, and it is
possible that she will be located by
her husband later.
