MARRIAGE HIS TRAP
TO ROB MANY. GIRLS
Lord Douglass" Alleged Arch,
Bibamist Sought by
Eight States.

Richmond, Va, July 1.-THE police
government are waiting eagerly for
news of the present whereabouts of
John c. Cavendish, the alleged bigam
ist, and his latest victim, Miss Jose
phine Hood Of Asheville, N. G. The
girl was married to Cavendish at the
La, Dec. 6. ~ Pomp and circumstance
surrounded the wedding, the bride be-
ing one of the prettiest young women
of the old tarheel state and popular
among her new friends of the far south.
Immediately after the ceremony the
| newly welded couple started upon their
honeymoon to Mexico, where Caven-
dish had told the girl he had immense
plantations and untold riches. Moth
she kissed her brother goodbye and
started upon what she undoubtedly be-
lieved would be the happiest Journey
of her life. - ~. <
The relatives Of Miss Hood believe
that the girl was murdered by Caven-
dish and her body disposed of after
he secured her Jewels and what money
she may have had in her possession.
They are using every effort to secure
information that will lead to her safe
return to her home if she is alive, or
that will reveal beyond doubt that
she is dead They are also anxious
for the arrest of the man who so basely
defrauded her, that he may answer for
his crimes in the courts of the country
Reward by the Governor.
The governor of North Carolina has
offered a reward for the capture OF
Cavendish, and this reward has been
supplemented by another by the gov
ernor of Virginia., it having developed

but he came back with only one eye,
the other the cat had scratched out
This made me so sorry that I thought
my heart would break. We took as
good care of him as we could, we
washed and cleaned his eye, until it was
healed: About year and a half later
We missed Tip for couple of days
and could not find him. At last we
found him, half starved under some
boards in an old shed. And when we
got him out, we saw that his other eye
was scratched out too. He was now
blind in both eyes forever, and that
dear little dog of mine, would now
never be able to play with me. This
made me so sorry that l was sick for a
few days.
I do not know how he lost his other
eye, I think it was the same cat that
| did it, because he was still around
there. AS | was in school one day, my
| big brother took him down into the
back yard and shot him. And when 1
found it out [ felt very sorry for my
dear dog. And this has made me to
love the animals still more.

The fact that Miss Hood had been
made a victim was made known by a

woman inclosed a picture Of her recre-

court to Miss Hood. This woman says
that she also was taken on a honey
