CHOIR LEADER FLEEs.
Sensation in Methodist Church Circles
Shakes Town of Stratford.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Feb. 2S.-Because of
his alleged attentions to pretty Mrs.
Ora Mossman, member of his choir,
A. ID. Bruner, a we'll known business
man Of Stratford and leader of the
Methodist church choir. has been
forced to leave the town. 1t is said
that delegation of young men called
upon him just as he left Mrs. Mossman
on taking her home from the revival
meetings now in session. They warned
him that he must leave the town be-
fore another sunrise and this he did.
Owing to Burners high standing in
the town; his church connections, his
religious activity and his position of
prominence as choir leader, he has
hosts Of friends who insist he has done
nothing wrong and that his flight was
due to fright and is not to be con-
strued as confession Of the things
charged against him. His action, how
ever, has created a profound sensa-
ton.
Bruner was proprietor Of Stratford's
leading barber shop. For years he has
been looked upon in church circles
as a religious worker who could al
ways be depended upon to come to the
fore in any movement for the good of
the church. A man of excellent voice
and musical education he fitted easily
and nicely into the position of choir
leader His wife died less than a year
ago.

Waged there.
Finally the school board has been

have become interested. neighbors have
taken sides and the little iistic en-
counter has developed until all New

If the school board divides on the
issue it is strongly probable action
