replied:

/ Blakely, his wife and two

at P. P. Chrane's in Salisbury,
but for the past two weeks they
had boarded at M. B. Aliens.
After reaching Salisbury Sat
urday night Blakely settled a
few bills he owed different par
ties and he and his family left
on. a west. bound train, but re-.
ports are conflicting as 10
whether they went to St. Joseph
or Omaha. He told the Aliens
he had received a message and
was going to see sick sister,
but did not give her place of
residence.
The Brunswick widow, who
was the victim of Blakley's con
fidence game, is poor and can
lily afford to sustain the loss
that her trust in an almost entire
stranger has caused her and
her two daughters as the money
belonged to all three of them,
The only Stevenson who lives
seven miles north Of Keytesvill :
is w. T. Stevenson, and he in.
forms US that he contracted no
mules to Blakely, which would
indicate that that partof Blakely's
story was canard and was told
in order to give him an op-
portunity to get away with the
too confding widows money.
The stevenson mule feature,
however, makes Blakely amen
able to the law fol obtaining
money under false pre- tense, and i,
is to be hoped that he will be
captured and made to pay the
full penalty for his crime.
In addition to getting away
with the $3.50 he also beat the
widow out of a weeks board.

also quite mechanic and is
such genius he can make most
anything that can be made out

he bought a new two.horse

rugged it 80 that it pumps water
from a never.failing we'll 80 feet
deep to his house and his barn

less to say that such an arrange
