Compelled to sleep in the attic by
his wife after his return from a visit
Of several months at his former home
in Sweden, because another man had
o. his wife's affections, is the
charge which Ole Lindberg, of Beres-
ford, makes against his wife, who
now has disappeared with the other
man and is believed to be in hiding
in the country a few miles from Beres-
ford. When the unfortunate Ole first
appeared at his home after his return
from across the water he discovered
that his wife's affections had been
won by the other man, but was per
mitted in the house. About the Sec
ond day after his temperance there
he was thrown out of the house. By
making use of such diplomacy as he
possesses, he finally was permitted to
sleep in the attic, with hopes that
he would again win back his wife.
But these hopes were doomed to dis
appointment, for, being compelled to
make a business trip to a neighboring
town, he discovered on his return that
his wife and the other man had disap-
peared. Before departing his wife
had sold the family COW and nearly
all the household effects, and had
leased the house, so Lindberg is out
of a wife and a home. The man in
the case is said to be Eluf Andrews.
