The news of the bringing in of the
gusher was greeted with JOY by the
many Columbus men who hold stock

FAKE
Tales CaptiVate Ohio Sisters
And They Left Home

PKtsburg, Penn, Jan. l6-Fascinat-
ing them with the wonderful stories he
told OF his own heroism and his many
escapes from death at the hands of viii
lains, Frank Sparto induced Mrs. Mat
tie Yoerns and her twin sister, Mrs.
Rachel Rugraft, aged 20, of 730 Colum-
bus avenue, Alliance, Ohio, to leave
their homes, husbands and children
and fly with him. In company with his
affinities he was captured here by the
police.
The two sisters told a story of how
Sparto reported to them he had &C
quired fortune while prospecting In
the west, and that they would never
have to worry about the future if they
would wait for a few days until his
wealth arrived. Both women were
heartily sick of their adventure.
In Sparto's suit case were large
number of photographs depicting him
in the acts of using stiletto, rifle and
revolver and subduing some would-be
| assassin OF enemy. Accompanying the
| pictures was big collection of "yel
low back" literature and many endear
| ing and romantic letters.
"Oh, this Is awful" declared one Of
the twins; what will our husbands
say ?'
Anu our poor children, too," sobbe6
the other. Just to think that all Of
the pretty things he told US about hav
ing everything we want is all a PACK
OF lies"
"Oh, please let us go back home ant
we will never leave again." they botf
cried.
| Be cause of admissions made by thu
sisters Sparto will be turned over tt
the United States authorities with {
view to seeing if he does not come un
der the regulation of the white slave
law.
