WAS A GOOD HUSBAND.
Citizens of SaffordvilIe Say a Woman's
Statement Was Untrue.

Saffordville, Kan, Jan. IA.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
We as citizens of Saffordville, Kan.
wish to deny emphatically the
charges made relative to one of our citi-
zens in an article published in Satur-
days edition of the State Journal rela-
tive to an eIopement affair of this town.
We refer to the case where the woman
made the charges, in an interview with
the officers at Arkansas City, Kan,
that her husband was cruel and abus-
i've to such an extent as to give her
just cause for abandonment. Many of
us have known the man in question
from childhood, until the present time,
and in Justice to him and his honorable
parents and relatives, wish to say. We
never saw q more affectionate husband
and father.
Respectfully, B. M. Garth, ]. 8. Crook,
