enough.
"'Pears to me that scarecrow
moved" said lineman to his fellow.
Better cut out that Newark
whisky" retorted the other.
Before anyone even suspected the
scarecrow's purpose he was atop the
pole and had cut three wires. Then
swearing like troopers, the linemen
rushed to the pole.
Don't lay hands on him. shouted
the policemen. There's to be no
violence here"
Hepburn kept on clipping wires.
Climb that pole and sit on the low
est crossarms," yelled their foreman,
Crawford, to three linemen. "If we
can't touch him he can't touch us, and
we'll keep him up there until dooms-
day."
Up went the men. Having cut all the
wires. the scarecrow calmly sawed off
the upper crossarms and kept the three
men on the lowest one busy lodging
the pieces. Then Hepburn called to
his farm hands:
Drive that load of hay from the barn
alongside this pole"
So they did. The scarecrow jumped
and landed safe and sound in the hay.
Even the linemen applauded. Police
men guarded the farm last night. Now
other lawyers will argue that the wires
should stay down.

Chicago, March 5.-Edgar r. Clcgg
"a years old, wealthy real estate
dealer at Amigo, Wis, was arrested
last night in his apartments at the
Lexington hotel on a warrant charging
him with bigamy. With him at the
time was a woman who is said to be
wife No. 2. She was formerly Miss
Jessie A. Woodruff, daughter of an
Episcopal minister of Sumner, Iowa.
Mrs. Clegg No. 2 was astounded when
detectives told her that her husband
had another wife and three children
in the little Wisconsin city.
Clegg, in custody, was taken to the
Central station, where he admitted to
Lieutenant Rohan that he had desert
cd one wife and his three children in
Wisconsin last October and later
wooed and wed Miss Woodruff at her
home in Iowa.
He was unable to offer an explana.
ton for his action, but said that he
must have been victim of aphasia
when he married his second wife.
II must admit that left my wife
and children in Wisconsin and it is al
SO true that l married Miss Woodruff
October 7, 1905" said Clegg. 81 am
unable to explain just why l should
do such thing, for my Wisconsin wife
was beautiful little woman and my
home life there with her and my three
children was perfectly happy.
Il went to Sumner on business, and
while there became acquainted with
Miss Woodruff. In some manner must
have forgotten the fact that was mar
ried in being so happy with her. AT
any rate, I wooed and won her, and
we were married there by Rev. Ernest
A. Knight"
The police learned that twice since
Clegg married Miss Woodruff he had
made trips to his home at Amigo
where he called on his first wife and
gave the children the presents he
bought for them without in any way
arOusing suspicion of the double life
he was leading.
He told wife No. that he was EN-
ployed in the capacity of travelling
man, and after remaining a short
time. left, as the police now say, to
join wife No. 2.
Clegg, according to the police. was
at one time wealthy and considered
one of the best citizens of Amigo.
