to marry a woman with whom he had been
in correspondence, but it was not Mrs
Guinness. He married his correspondent
and is living happily with her.
About four months ago Mr.. wit had some
correspondence with a woman at Val
paraiso and decided to go there with the
idea of marrying her He made the journey
and then returned to raise some money on
his 1GO acres of land which he owns just
north of Bennington. Before leaving for
the east he had pre-nuptial agreement
drawn by an Omaha attorney, who could
not remember the name of the woman he
was to marry.
For the last three months his relatives
and friends have been unable to hear from
him and letters sent to the address he had
left were returned to both his relatives anG
