Charter Oak, April 30.-Our usually
quiet town has become the center of a
social sensation the past week, the
details of which have just commenced
to leak out. Mr.. G. w. Woodward, for
merry of Bayard, who moved here and
two months ago, went TO Des Moines
last week to attend law suit, and
had decamped with their two children,
large quantity of wearing apparel,
and over 5000 in money, leaving no
word as to her destination and rea-
sons for her strange conduct.
Mr.. Woodward seems to be utterly
dazed over this, and claims that there
had been no unpleasantness between
them and that he never had an inliling

seems to be the general opinion that
this escapade is rather the result OF

Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Woodward had
become much acquainted since coming
here, as both had seemingly been very
busy in the store, and MIR. Woodward
had commenced for himself a trade
that reflected great credit on his bus
mess sagacity. There is absolutely no
clue to the whereabouts of the wife
and children.

! Eldora April 3O.-Some little criti-
csm has existed thru Hardin county

cause nothing seemed to be doing in
effecting his capture. some going so
] far as to declare that the county of
ficials did not desire to see justice
fairly dealt out The most of this
complaint has come from Iowa Falls,
the home of the alleged guilty party.
Some of these complaints have un-
justly been made against Sheriff
Thomas Walsh. At all times in con-
nection with this case. as with all 9TH
err cases. has Mr.. Walsh sought to do
his full duty. Even before indictments
were returned and warrants issued, he
was quietly at work seeking to know
where the guilty party was. While the
amount is not large that he offers out
of his own pocket, yet it plainly shows
his desire to do all that is within his
power to get the desired party. At no
time has Mr.. Walsh assumed any at
titude of quieting the matter Since the
warrant was issued two weeks ago and
since the time that Mrs. Otterbach Of
Iowa Falls, saw Weaver in Council
Bluffs. Sheriff Walsh has done all with
in his power to find out whether Weaver
was still there, with the result that
no trace of him could be found.
