WANDERS over
COUNTRY 46 YEARS
Man Forgets Wife and Two Sons
During Time Of Nearly
Half Century.

Jackson, Mich.-Living with her
husband, from whom she was separat.
ed for more than forty years, yet
not being known by him as his wife,
Is the unusual experience of Mrs.
orson Howard. who, with her 'hus.
band. resides just east Of this city.
Mr.. Howard does not recognize her
as his wife, but calls her aunt"
The story of the aged couple is an
unusual one. Mr.. Howard Is now &c
years of age, while his wife is So
Forty-six years ago they resided in
Laporte, Ind. They had been married
four years and had two children
One morning in May Mr.. Howard
shouldered a shotgun and informed
his wife that he was going hunting,
That was the last time she saw him
for more than forty years. He was
a young man then, but when he re-
turned, like Rip Van Wrinkle, he was
bent, gray-haired and crippled from
old age. What caused him to leave
his home Is mystery to his wife.
They had had no trouble.
Leaving Laporte, Howard journeyed
west to a territory that was then
in Its widest state. When the Santa
Fe railroad was built he helped to lay
the track. For years he lived the
life of hermit, far from civilization.
He never communicated with his wife.
Buffalo were plentiful in those days,
and he killed thousands of them on
the plains.
In the meantime, his wife, with
her children, left Laporte and came
to jackson. She made no effort to
locate her husband and heard nothing
from him until about three years
ago, when a relative wrote from the
West saying that she believed Mr.
Howard was living in Dodge City,
Kan. Further inquiries were made
with the result. that the aged man
was brought to Jackson, where the
reunion followed-a peculiar reunion
however, as Howard, has mind fail
ing, was unable to remember his
wife. but thought of her only as his
aunt" He does not recognize his
two sons. Together the aged couple
are spending their declining years
near this city in a home provided by
their sons.

A little over year ago Miss Stauf-
fer and Miss Blosser ran prosperous
Photographic gallery in this city.
But they longed for the outdoor life,
and finally they sold their business
and bought small farm near Ira,
west of Rochester, moved onto it,
and began their lives as "rubes," as
they call themselves, with only a
little bulldog as a protector. The hous
was put in good condition and made
comfortable for the winter. During
the rough weather the girls spent
their evenings mapping out the farm
work to be taken up in the spring.
They bought agricultural implements.
a team of horses. COW, some pigs
and $50 high-class chickens. The
chickens were we'll cared for during
the winter and at once began to lay.

prices were the highest.
Then when the spring came there
was the blowing to doa They had
determined there shuold be no men
about the place. SO they gritted their
teeth and went at it. One hold the
plow while the other led the team.
"Of course, the burrows were crook
ed as a dogs hind leg" said Miss
Stauffer, describing their Efforts to
a friend; "but what did we care SO
long as we got the field plOwed?
Anyhow, it made no difference after
the ground was narrowed. But the
time we got ready to plant we had
a little experience and were able to
make the rows fairly straight. 30 that
cultivation will not be a difficult
matter"
The girls jump out of bed at sun
rise. One attends to the morning
chores while the other Is preparing
breakfast. When the housework is
done both go to the fields and work
there until noon. Then they go to
the house and get their lunch and do
a little work in the garden or among
the flowers about the house. In the
evening there is the COW to milk and
the horses and pigs to be fed. Then
comes their own evening meal. Aft

IN LIVING TOMB
Stonemason At Revolver's Point
Forced To Build Wall
Around Girl.

Madrid, July 1.-The police of Bar
celona are investigating the story OF
Esteban Gutierrez, a stonemasOn, who
declares that he was forced to wall
up a young girl in a building near
the city.
Gutierrez says that two well-dressed
men called at his home with a mo-
torcar, and asked him to accompany
them a short distance into the cOun-
try to carry out some urgent repairs.
When htey were outside the city
the men seized Gutierrz, bound him,
and blindfolded his eyes. A few min
utes later the car stopped in front
Of lonely house.
The mason says he was led inside,
and ordered to wall up a narrow APP
erture. He heard some one sObbing,
and, tearing the bandage from his
eyes, he saw a young girl bound with
ropes and wedged in the aperture.
His captors ordered him to build
a wall SO as to enclose the unfortu-
nate girl, and when Gutierrez refused
they threatened him with revolvers
He says that he was forced to CON-
ply with their commands after which
the car conveyed him to a wood sew
eral miles away.
Before leaving him IN the wood the
men gave Gutierrez $40 in silver, and
warned him not to speak Of the in
cident. He was found by a woodman'
and he went al once to the police.

FREE STORE DELIVERY
SERVICE DISCONTINUED
Privilege Long Extended to Washing.
ton and Baltimore Merchants Has
Become Thing of the Past.

Yesterday, besides being notable as a
national holiday, marked the passing OF
free store-door freight delivery in Wash.
ington, a privilege extended the local
merchants by the Pennsylvania and Bal
timore and Ohio Railroads for more than
thirty years.
Beginning today the merchants will
either have to pay drayage companies to
haul their freight from the depots TO
their doors or else transport it them
selves. Many of the merchants already
have made contracts with drayage COM
panies and others intend experimenting
hauling their own freight before signing
agreements.
The local merchants, undaunted by their
failure to have free delivery restored by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
are making their plans to attack the
present rates and seek a reduction equal
to the added cost of getting their freight
incurred by the discontinuance of free
delivery.
Maurice D. Rosenberg, attorney for the
Retail Merchants Association, announced
yesterday that there would be another
conference on next Saturday between the
representatives of the local organizations
and those Of Baltimore. when plans for
attacking the new rates would be dis
cussed. -
He said that at the present time he did
not know what the next step of the local
merchants before the Interstate Com
merce Commission would be, but he
stated he thought some action undoubted-
ly would be taken in the near future. He
intimated that it probably would take the
form Of an attack on the increased rates
on account Of the withdrawal Of free
delivery.
