THREE WIVES TOO
MANY FOR PAPA
William Rausch, Aged %,
Gets Cold Deal When he
Brings Home Third.

William Rausch, son of Peter Rausch'
1902 Exchange avenue, brought home a
new wife yesterday morning and Papa
Rausch declared himself.
William is only IS years old and this
is said to be his third matrimonial
Senture. The elder Rausch thought
that his boy was starting in too early
to beat the matrimonial record, and
threw the happy pair out into the cold,
cruel world
At least that is the inference. Papa
Rausch spoke kindly about Willie
this morning Said he would give him
employment as steam filter any time
there was a chance for him, but there
Is no more free board at the Rausch
table for Willie.
There was also a dearth of infor-
nation about Willies matrimonial ex-
periences when THE LAKE COUNTY
TINES reporter called. A beautiful girl
of IS, sister of the groom, slammed the
door shut when questioned about the
whereabouts Of her brother, and his
latest wife. Papa Rausch came out or
the sidewalk and denied that his son
had married oftener than twice. He
declared he knew nothing about the
Iumor Of a third matrimonial venture
Willie. he said. was divorced in Febru-
airy. and that was all he knew. He
didn't know even II Willie was married
to the girl he brought home yesterday
and neither did the neighbors.
According to the neighbors, how
ever. William has had three wives, OF
has brought home three separate and
distinct women to board with his par
ents. Peter Rausch is well-to-do. owns
his own home, and conducts a profit

Value of Vessel and Cargo Determined
by Board of Survey.

Mr. E H. 11aggett, representing the
iowners Of the schooner Stanley Fl.
minor, which nov lies beached off Bat
terry Island in Southport harbor, re-
turned to Baltimore Sunday, after Eav-
ing spent several days in the city to see
what disposition would be made of the
Vessel.
1t will be recalled hat a board of
Isurvey went to Southport last Friday,
and after making a thorough examina-
ton of the schooner declared that she
was in an unseaworthy condition. They
Therefore condemned the vessel and
recommended that it be sold at public
lauction.
Yesterday a second board Of survey,
consisting Of Mr.. w. N. Harriss, Capt
IL. D. Williams and Captain Quillin of
the schooner Maxwell, made another
examination Of the schooner and made
la determination of the value OF the
Vessel and cargo. The schooner, in its
.lpresent damaged condition, they ap-
Ipraised to be worth $4,000; and the
Icargo of lumber they appraise at $4,000.
The amount of salvage to be received
Joy h various vessels that went to the
AID OF the Minor while she was in
lolstress will depend on what percent
Iage OF the value is allowed.
Col. j. w. Atkinson of this city repre-
scents he underwriters and Mr.. George
Harriss represents the owners of the
vessels. 1t is expected that the saIyors
viii come to some agreement with the
owners within the next few days and it
us anticipated that all matters will be
satisfactorily settled without any great
delay.
