Sioux City, Sept. 14.--With more
than 5000 of her husbands money anc
trunks filled with bed clothing and all
Of her lavish wardrobe, Mrs. Henry
Nagel, 81 years old, wife OF a prosper
GUS farmer near Odebolt, has eloped
with Charles Cue, % years old, for
merly hired man on the Nagel farm,
and it is thought the runaway couple
have either gone to Omaha or Colum :
bus, Neb.
The woman took her two little chill
dren, one nine months old and the 9TH
er three years, with her, and the GRIEF
stricken husband sought the aid of the
local police in finding his wife and re-
covering the children.
The mother of the runaway wire,
Mrs gnes Wright, of Sioux City, and
j. NJ. Wright the brother, are assist
ing in the search for Mrs. Nagel, ana
are doing all in their power to assist
the husband.
Early in the spring Henry Nagel
hired Charles Cue to work for him, and
30 well did Cue do his work that Nagel
employed him regularly. AS the days
passed Nagel observed that his wife
took an exceptional interest ia Cue and
was VIII him almost constantly, and
ne protested against this 4timacy. She
assured him that his ,spicions were
unfounded. and things went smoothly
for Il time.
Later when Cue was taken ill, Ma
gels wife was constantly nursing him,
more constantly than Nagel Thought
necessary ,and as soon as Cue recov-
erred Nagel discharged him. This was
in July.
A week ago Mrs Nagel told her hus-
band that she was going to Sioux City
to visit her mother. and taking all the
money she could get hold of, departed.
Her husband did not suspect anything
until a friend of his told him he had
seen Cue and Mrs. Nagel at OnaWa
ready to take the train for Omaha
Investigation showed this to be true.
and now the husband vows revenge II
it takes his last dollar.
1--WE had lived happily together for
eight years until Cue came to work
Tor me, Sdiu MT. lSdSSi. Gnu iHy wiz
was never abused by me nor was l
ever annoyed by any improper con-
duct on her part.
.sRut this man, Cue seemed to fas-
climate her, and gradually she fell in
love with him and did his bidding.
Cue is a handsome sort of fellow,
and a smooth talker, and literally
wove a charm about my wife with his
oily tongue, until she fell victim
to his wishes and eloped with him.
II discharged Cue because I knew
he had an influence over her, but l
see now that I did not discharge him
soon enough. She has taken money
from my pocketbook for some time
and has saved 1t for this very elope-
ment. I am sure she has taken all her
possessions and the two little chill
dren.
4 4 don't want her, but I do want
the Children continued Mr.. Nagel,
.and I'll get them and bring my wife
and Cue to justice if it takes my last
dollar"
Mr.. Nagel, much wrought up over
the disappearance fhis wife, very
nearly broke down while reciting his
troubles. He is 81 years Of age, his
wife 81, and her lover, Cue, is only
% years old.
