The Difficulty the Hutson Brothers Encountered in Proving to Their Relatives They Had Been Duped.

NJ. D. and c. C. Hutson, two young men who came here about three weeks ago from Centralia Texas. lured by the graphic description by an old preacher who called himself Rev. G. G. McLen- den, of the Paradise Valley, which he said was an actual paradise, left last night for their home to head off any further immigration in this direction.
 They found on their arrival here that McLendon was unknown though he said he had lived in Phoenix for eighteen years and that he was an ac- tive member of the Maricopa county bar and the Arizona ministry. The young men did not bring much money with them, for they expected to go out to the valley, take up their land for practically nothing and get work on one of the numerous electric plants which the old preacher said were in operation under the Verde system
 The HutsOns found out after they had been in town ten minutes that Me Lendon was an impOstor if he was not crazy. The latter theory seemed the more reasonable since he had tried to get money from no one. The two boys had been robbed of S35 on their way here, so they had only money enough left for the payment of their board for

a week. That did not worry them. for their people were well-to-do and besides, they had property in Texas in their own names.
 They accordingly wrote home de- scribing what they had found. or ratn- CT. what they had failed to find, and asked that money be forwarded to them for their return. They here en- countered an unexpected obstacle, the abiding faith or their parents and the rest of their relatives in the stories told by McBendOn. They believed that the boys were homesick and wauced to throw away a golden opportunity. They wrote exhoTting them to stick to it; they would send them no money. but they would arrange to furnish them credit here for board and such supplies as they might need in fitting up the ranch in Paradise Valley The boys wrote in reply that they were not homesick, but that there was no Para disc Valley; there was place called Paradise Valley, though no one was living there. They wrote further that the preacher was an old liar. It was not fact they said, that it had not rained here for eighteen years. and it was not a fact that the air was so pure that the carcasses Of beasts were allowed to lie on the surface of the ground without giving out any odor. Nor was it true that there were no saloons in Phoerix There were no bananas here, such as McLendcn had said abOunded on his ranch in Para disc Valley. McLendon they said. was unknown; they had found nobody who had ever heard of him.
 But the faith those Texas relatives Lad in McLendCn must have been If the kird by which mountains are

FINLAND.

A letter from Berlin states that the
people of Finland are preparing a
general uprising to throw off the yoke
Of Russia, according to letters received
from home by a certain prominent Fin
n1sh political refugee in Berlin. The
Russian government is aware Of the
danger and is preparing to send an
army corps into the grand duchy to
crush the revolutionists, who dream
Of an Independent Finnish republic
The first warning of the impending
danger came to the cars government
when in a secret printing establish
ment at Helsingfors thousands Of
nanifests wS,e seized by the Russian
police. The mInifests, which were adj
dressed to "All True Friends Of the
Finnish Fatherland," reads in part:
I'VE must prepare for war, we must
arm ourselves with the most modern
weapons. An offer has been made us
by a famous firm to supply us with
thousands OF Mauser rifles and bayo-
nets at a very low price. Let each
man who can afford send to the central
committee money enough to buy rifles
for the patriots who are too poor to
pay. Our plans are ready and within
q week after we declare war against
our oppression we shall have driven
every Russian soldier out of Finland.
We have already control of all rail-
roads and we will seize the telegraph
lines. The fight will not alone be Tor
our own independence, it will help our
brethren in Russia, who are now ssrug-
Cling for freedom. Our diplomats will
keep Russia in ignorance of our in
tentions until the moment to strike
is there. We must not wa:t until our
ports are open, but strike; while the ice
prevents the Russian navy from bonn
harding our coast towns. The. signal
to give battle may come at any time,
let us therefore be ready to sacrifice,
II necessary, our lives for a free re-
public in Finland" The manifest was

they met young Edward Twitchell, the
handsome, stalwart son OF the old
time benedict.
In a week the pretty little Michigan
girl found that life in Chicago with a
man old enough to be her father was
not the same thing as real love. She
found that the young fellow who was
her stepson had far more attractions
for her than her staid and very con-
servative husband. In fact, before the
month was out, she was head over
hee's in love with the son of her elder
ly husband. And, as if to add to this
strange mix-up, the son himself was
just as madly in love with his own
stepmother-the wife of his father.
Of course, such things couldn't go
on forever. Mr.. Twitchell, ST., soon
learned that he stood in the way of
Mr.. Twitchell, Jr. He taxed his wife
with loving his son. Proud of her love,
she owned up. =
And so the case was taken to court.
The elder Twitchell sued, and Judge
McEwen decided in his favor. He
frankly admitted that he wanted his
wife to be happy, and for that reason
he was going to give her to his son.

for three years he has maintained two
homes, and in each woman who
thought herself his wife. He married
the second one three years ago when
he believed his first wife dying.
She lived, instead.
Here was strange Quandary for the
man. He had two wives, each appar-
emily married to him by every right of
law. But let him tell the story him
self; just as he told it when it was dis
covered that he had one wife living at

We were young. When we left Brook
Ign my wife was extremely i'll at home,
and not expected to live. On the way
out west talked the matter over at
great length with Mrs. Colt. Her father
had been my employer, my benefactor.
I had been bachelor until I was So
and then I married my brothers Wild
ow when Flora Colts husband was
still alive.
Mrs, Colt knew how my heart stood
in the matter, and l told her that I
wanted to marry her, We both be-
lieved that my first wife would be dead
before we got back to Brooklyn. My
only excuse was that I was nervous
and overwrought.

when we arrived at Hammond,
Ind, we were married under our true
names. In a month we returned to
Brooklyn. bought my second wife
the house. on Brooklyn avenue, and
made it over to Mrs. Colt in her own
legal name. I made the agreement with
her that we would live publicly as man
and wife just as soon as my first wife
died. We had not expected to come
east until her death.
But my first wife grew stronger,
and soon recovered her health. There
was nothing for us to do but to keep
the matter secret. I confessed every
thing to my first wife, and she under
stands everything. I have maintained
them both since then"
To-day both women feel the weight OF
the shadow upon their lives. Kiley has
told all. And that is where the case
