Saws There's Yellow In Leedom.

Brother Crellin of the Plainview Re.
publican seems to be of the opinion
that a great many republicans will vote
for democrats at the approaching pri.
mary election. We fail to see any
good reason why a republican should
go to the primary and vote against
such men as WEIGH Calundan, Kin
kaid, or Tepner, when selecting a man
for sheriff. They are all good men
and representative of their commune
ties. and while a voter may have a
choice of individuals yet as partisan.
the choice should be made by repub-
leans from the four whose names ap-
pear on the official ballot-Osmond
Republican.
Our congratulations to the Repub-
lcan editor, for the above sentiment
past had, squared with his words.
Brother Leedom has not always prac-
ticed what he preached Four years
ago he started what he now complains
other republicans are going to do and
the large number of republican OFF,
Gals now in the court house GU will
stand as an everlasting monument to
his "partsanship" and party loyalty.
Yes, Brother Leedom started some
thing on the bipartisan order four
years ago and the party has not re-
covered from it's effects yet. We hope,
however, the above clipping represents
the editors sincere sentiment and pur-
pose this year and that the sectional
feeling and prejudice the brother
preached four years ago among his
party will have been forgotten and
republicanism in Pierce county be re-
turned again to that which it is justly
entitled to.-Pierce Leader.

and he made the threats.
Since then nothing has been heard
of the whereabouts of either Winder
or the former Mrs. Haley.
Perplexlty Deepens.
So the mysterious telegram receiv
ed by Haley aroused his suspicious
and he decided that Norfolk was n
good place to remain In. And the

may have been a deCoy, only ntensi-
fies his perplexity and his opinion that
he was on the right track in not leav-
Ing her until he got further facts from
the daughter, II indeed 1t was from
her that he heard at all. He has wir-
ed to Lake Geneva to learn whether
or not his message was delivered to
his daughter In person, and when this
information comes ii will, 1t is bellev-
ed, help clarity the uncertainty sur
rounding the case.
Mrs. George Fellows, who has
had charge of the girl for three years,
girls and formerly lived at 4707 Wood
lawn avenue, Kenwood.
Row May Have Been Stirred Up.
Mr. Haley thinks that possibly the
Mysterious disappearance Of the sirl
and the telegram he received may be
the outcome of row between Win
der and Haley's former wife, though
1t Is not known to certainty that the
two are living together at this time.
After Judge WEIGH, in the district
court at Madison, had annulled Win
der's divorce, at the instance of the
original Mrs. Winder, Winder and Mrs.
Haley, who had secured a divorce to
marry Winder, disappeared and have
never come back. At that time, I'M
der the courts Decree Winder was a
bigamist and 1t is not known whether
or not he ever had his second or H.
legal marriage annulled or not.
Mr. Haley has remained in business
in Norfolk, being a dealer in wall
papers and art decorations. He lives
on North Eleventh street. The pres
ent Mrs. haley, formerly Miss Anna
Miller was previously bookkeeper in
Mr.. Haleys store, and a we'll known
Norfolk girl. She is a daughter of
H. H. Miller.
Mr. Haley believes that in case his
daughter is in trouble or Is trying to
escape his first wife, she will seek
refuge in Norfolk and that she may ar
rive on any train.

IL 10 .556
Owing to an injury to Archie Ward,
the Norfolk southpaw who was sched-
uled to fan the Ainsworth batters Sat
urday afternoon, Pitcher Young was
put in the box for a third successive
day. He had pitched hard games the
day before and the day before that, so
he wasn't in the best of shape. Aims
worth won the game, 10 to 6. Up till
the seventh inning it was tie, &c.
On the previous afternoon Archie
Ward, while batting, received
pitched ball on his pitching finger.
The ball ground the finger hard
against the bat and mashed it badly.
AS result, it was out of the question
for Ward to attempt to pitch on Sat
urday. Buckmaster was put in the
box at the start, to do the best he
could (though he doesn't pretend to
be a pitcher). Ainsworth landed six
scores In the first two times up and
Young was substituted in the curve
box to finish the game with a lame
arm.
Norfolk Players Frequently Injured.
Norfolk players have been playing
in a streak of bad luck on the casualty
list. Early in the season Brown and
Buckmaster split open each others
faces by colliding. Then Buckmaster
sprained an ankle. Last Thursday at
Valentine Tottenhoff got thirteen
inch cash on the head, laying the
skull bare, when beam blew off the
grandstand, and Schoenauer was also
injured Next day Buckmaster batted
ball right down upon his foot and
crippled himself for the third time.
And Ward got hit on his curve finger.
Norfolk got ten hits off DeSylva Sat-
urday-more hits than any other team
has landed this season.
Monday the local team went to Stan
ton to play and Thursday Correction
vile, Ia, comes here.
The players who have returned say
that at Ainsworth Friday just twenty
seven men faced Young, no Ainsworth
runner ever getting to second base.
In the game at Valentine Thursday,
stopped by a storm, Norfolk had had
one man on third, while Valentine had
never seen first. 1t was the first half
of the third inning when the storm
came up. Norfolk was at bat. One
man had gone to the plate and struck
out and no others had gone to bat
when the game stopped.

H. A. Haley of Norfolk is deeply per-
picked over the mystery surrounding
the strange disappearance of his
daughter from Lake Geneva, and . Ter
letter and telegram which he has
received, signed by the girl. The tele-
gram came Friday, as stated in the
above Chicago dispatch, but it carried
only mystery between the lines. Not
until informed by The News did Mr..
Haley know anything of the girls dis.
appearance and that fact, now that it
has been made known, only deepens
the mystery.
Left Home for Visit; Never Returned.
Mr.. Haley had not heard from his
daughter for three years until recent
ly, when letter came from her at
Chicago stating that she was going to
Lake Geneva next day to spend the
summer and would be escorted by Mrs.
Fellows, her instructress. In the let
ter she asked her father to send her
money, stating that, while she had
plenty of funds, she wanted the salts
faction of receiving money from him.
1t had been three years since Mr.. Ha-
ley had either heard from or seen the
girl. Three years ago she left her
home in Norfolk for visit in SUI
perior, Wis, and she never returned.
Shortly after that her mother left her
later married A. H. Winder, Mr.. Ha.
ley's former business partner here. So
the mother and girl never came back.
Surprised at Telegram.
1t was this chain of circumstances
that surprised Mr.. Haley Friday when
he received a telegram from Lake &c.
neva, Wis, saying:
Meet me at Williams Bay. Come
at once. Answer quick. Babe"
And now that 1t is learned that the
girl disappeared several days before
that message was sent the plot only
thickens.
When he got the message, Mr.. Ha.
ley's first impulse was to get on the
train and hasten to Chicago, from
which place Williams Bay is but a
short distance. His second impulse,
however, was one of fear and suspi-
cion. Something seemed to say
Don't CO." And he didn't.
Instead he telegraphed: Can not
come. Write full particulars"
| Since then he has heard nothing
from the daughter.
Winder Has Threatened Him.
II was because of threats that have
/ been made by Winder that Mr.. Haley
decided the safer course was to re-
main in Norfolk. When Winder left,
he told Haley he would make him all
/ possible trouble, though from the fact
that Winder had induced Mrs. Haley
to leave her home to marry him, II
seemed to most people that If any one
had revenge coming 1t would be Haley.
