GIRL WIFE LOSES HERSELF
Leaves Mother and and Pc
lice Are Making Vigorous
Search for Her.

Mrs. Hope Dunbar Maruuardt, a l6-year-
old girl, who ran away from her mother
Mrs. F.. ]. Dunbar, owner Of the Victoria
restaurant at Thirteenth and Dodge streets,
while Mrs. Dunbar was In Kansas City on
September %, Is causing the police OF
Omaha and South Omaha no end OF trouble.
1t is believed she has deserted her mother
and her husband, Roy Marquardt, a cook
at the Victoria restaurant, and has been
living with a japanese waiter named
Yoshima Fichi since she disappeared.
Sunday morning a cheap Japanese room
ing house at Ninth and L~eavenworth
streets. was raided by a squad Of police
men who had been told by Bob Davis, a
restaurant messenger boy who delivered
a meal to the child-wife, that she was llv-
ing there in squalId surroundings and
among a gang of orientals. Mrs. Dunbar
accompanied the raiding party in hopes
of finding and Identifying her daughter.
The girl was not found and the officers
were told that she had moved to South
Omaha with her consort.
A reward has been offered for the find
ing OF the girl, but so far nothing definite
has been heard from her or about her. Fol-
lowing the report that she had gone to
South Omaha with the Japanese waiter,
the South Omaha police were taken intI
the matter and started a chain of investi-
cation in that city, but only with the re-
suit of learning that the couple had left
South Omaha Saturday evening for Lin
coin.
Lincoln is the city to which the young
Mrs. Marquardt went from Kansas City
after running away from her mother at the
latter place.
The Omaha police say there is not much
to the case, believing that the girl has
just become tired of her husband and has
found another man to live with. Fuchi
has worked in many Of the Japanese res
taurants in this part of the country. He
met Mrs. Marquardt one day. not long be-
fore they disappeared, at the Nagasah
restaurant on North Sixteenth street.

Judge Sullivan was appointed by Gov

Of the court recently named and was given
the short term of one year. Whether he

record clear in this event rs not known.
1t is learned from local sources that

Tom O'Connor, while yet in his twenties,
is one of the big chiefs In ehe Jimocrat
club. He was secretary OF that organiza-
ton for a year and is now vice president.
Together with Colonel Tanning, Sam Roth
we'll and others, he attended the meeting of
the Jim club last September when Con-
gresham Hitchcock was so severely CEN
sured for supporting Mr.. Shallenberger and
d%iscounting Mayor Jim. Despite this direct
slap at the new governor, he has managed
to pull down the plum in opposition to many
others older in the party.
The appointment of Mr.. O'Connor for
deputy oil inspector was forecasted in
these columns a couple Of weeks ago, at
which time 1t was stated than Dan Geilus
OF Omaha would probably be appointed
chief game warden. This has also come
true and Mr.. Geilus will be the next game
warden for Nebraska.
For state veterinarian, DR.. Paul Juckness
of South Omaha has been appointed.
On the governors staff five more Omaha
men have been appointed: Sophus Neble,
member of the Park board; Thomas Byrne,

Weeping and ReIoicInE.

While the appointment of Tom O'Con-
nor as deputy oil inspector will cause an
excessive amount OF bemoaning In Omaha
on account Of there being so many other
candidates for the job, all of whom have
their friends, the appointment. Of Mr..
Maupin as deputy labor commissioner will
also cause some weeping, though this will
be tempered with rejoicing on the part of
some. Those who will weep over this APP
pointnent are jeremiah Howard and his
followers who attended a meeting in South
Omaha to endorse p. j. Barrett for the
place. On the other hand, the Omaha
Typographical union endorsed Mr.. Maupin
for the place and the members of this or
ganization will rejoice in his appointment.
Mr.. Maupin is at present the editor Of
the Wage Worker, a Lincoln publication,
and in addition does editorial work on the
Commoner. He lived in Omaha some
years, during which time he was connected
with the World-Herald.
