Story of a Confiding Woman Being Duped by a

Says Hiram and Couldn't Live Without Each
Other Man 47 and Girl but e.

left his fiance and his friend at War
wick, where livery rig was engaged
to take the disappointed girl home
When the liverynan reached I the
home of Miss Luther and she entered
the house there was family scene
such as was not customary in that
home, the end of which the Warwick
liveryman did not wait to witness
So far as the family was concerned
matters quieted down but the neigh
bors and village gossips continued to
busy themselves about the affair.
DALE COMES BACK.
But Dale had won the confidence of
the fair Fulton daughter to such an
extent that she could not, apparently,
live without him, as the sequel will
show.
A few nights after Miss Luther's
homecoming, her brother was awak-
ened by a sound of sand being thrown
against his bedroom window, but he
paid no attention to it. Miss Luther
was expecting 1t and arose shortly
afterward with a complaint of a Sc
we're headache and went down stairs.
And that is the last time Susan has
been seen in the village or at home.
Dale had returned and under cover of
night and pre-concerted arrangement
between the lovers was carried out by
which the two silently stole away
The elopement again caused the resi-
dents of this usually quiet town to
spread the tidings. but no trace of the
missing girl and her married lover
could be found. Just a day or two
ago, however, the Luther family re-
ceived letter from their daughter
dated at Philadelphia, asking that her
clothes be sent to her there. She ex-
pressed, in the letter, sorrow that she
had left home in the manner she did,
"but that she and Hiram could not
live without each other"
ANOTHER WIFE HEARD FROM.
From Pittsburg comes the informa,
tion from Wife No. in a letter to the
Luther family that if their daughter
marries Dale she will be wife No. 4.
She says Dale's old mother, herself
and two children are destitute and in
sore straits, that the rent of the house
they now occupy is unpaid and that
they are in urgent need of money
which the smooth Mr.. Dale has spent
upon Miss Luther.

Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs. G. N.
Weary delightfully."- entertained the

TO TAKE UP.
Excess Fare Charges in
Ohio - Commission to
Investigate Railro a d
Rates.

Columbus, o., Aug. 3.-yiolation by
Ohio railroads of the 2.cent fare law
in the matter of trips from within
to points beyond the state line, will
probably be one of the first matters
taken up for investigation by the
new state railway commission which
is clothed with power to enforce
both passenger and freight rate pro-
visions of law, as well as to stop un-
reasonable rates and prevent discrim-
ination.
Ohio railroads are now charging
8 cents per mile for all tickets sold
to points outside the state, claiming
that Ohio has no right to regulate
interstate business.
1t is estimated that something like
20 per cent of the persons who board
Ohio trains ride to points outside
the state, and hence are being charg-
ed cents per mile for Ohio mileage
when the law fixes the maximum at
2 cents per mile.

Canal Fulton, o., Aug. 3.-This staid
old town is in the midst of social
sensation which has terminated in the
elopement of Pittsburg contractor
and pretty telephone operator in the
Canal Fulton office.
The beginning of the love-malking g
was six weeks ago, when Hiram Dale,
of Pittsburg, aged Al and the husband
and father of an interesting family,
came here with gang of men to com
mence the erection of railroad
bridge for the B. & o. railroad, which
is being put up by the Pittsburg Con
struction Co, two miles south of the
village. By reason of his position he
had occasion to visit the local office
of the Independent Telephone Co.,
where he met Miss Susan Luther %,
the pretty daughter of a farmer living
some distance from town, who was
employed as the night operator. Dale
at once became smitten with Miss
U6ther's many charms and by his
bland and willy ways he soon won the
heart of the confiding girl. Love at
first sight. Nightly Dale visited the
Office and spent hours in making
love to her. Within a week a livery
rig, at Dales expense, conveyed the
young lady to and from her work
Miss Luthers parents gave the Pitts
burg masher the glad hand and as
Dale told them Of his immense worldly
possessions. his beautiful Pittsburg
homo Gpp 70 nd goIo
were happy in the anticipation of a
sOn-in-law to be proud Of He pro-
posed marriage to the object of his
alteration and was accepted. Soon
after the engagement had been cIinch-
ed rumors cane to the ears of the
Luther family that Dale had a wife
and family in Pittsburg, and the min
lister was constrained to call and ad-
wise against the marriage. The girl
and her parents did not believe the
ugly stories which were being handed
around from store to house and dis
cussed over back yard fences in after
breakfast style. Arrangements went
On for the wedding and Dale accom-
panied the bride-to-be and his pros
pectiye mOther-in-l2w to Massilloh
where an elaborate wedding outfit was
purchased and day set for Dale to
bead his young bride to the altar. BY
reason of the family minister contin-
ming to advise against marriage un-
~til the ugly rumors afioat were fur
-ther investigated, the parties decided
to journey to Pittsburg and have the
,-nuptial knot tied
= LEFT AT A HOTEL.
= A friend OF the girls family was
taken into the condolences of the pair
and Saturday evening, two weeks ago
-Dales Miss Luther and the mutual
friend whom the groom-to-be had
promised a fine position, left for the
Smoky City" On arriving there Miss
Luther was left at hotel while Dale
--andNhis friend went out to visit Dale's
family, where it is alleged that a dis
charge from the company for whom he
was working, awaited him. This
changed the program, somewhat, and
the mutual friend decided to return
home. Dale visited Miss Luther, whom
he tried to Induce to go back with
Che friend but she refused to comply
. with his request. Dale then remem
bered that he had left valuable papers
ut Canal Fulton and said he would ac
company her back So the trio start

Alralra Hay SIS and still Going.

Alfalfa hay has taken another
jump. Buyers for the sound market
have paid s13 a top this week to the
grower. Since then another jump
has been made. Today the quota
tions are S15 with the possibility of
going higher There is very little hay
to he had. Sheepmen, who are COM
PEELED to feed, have been paying $1S
in the stack. This is big figure for
a sheepman who has been used to
cheap hay for long time.
The demand for hay is still grow
ing. However. very little of 1t Is go
ing to the sound markets. The COM
mission men who buy for the local
trade over there hesitate about pay
ing the price, and they only buy in a
car lot at a time. In this city the de-
mand is still increasing with difficult
ty in securing what is needed. Be-
fore the winter is over 1t is predicted
that $40 will be reached.
Contrast the present conditions In
the hay market with those of year
ago. when there was such an amount
on hand here that the Northern Pa
cific could not find cars enough to
take 1t out fast enough to fill the or
