ger of the Orpheum theater of that
city, and a we'll known theater man.
Mr.. Weston will not move to Ames
until summer, as he has a daughter
who will graduate from the Webster
City high school in June. After the
school year he expects to make his

after MAN FOR
DESERVING Wife

Sheriff Nelson of this city and
Sheriff Lund of Fort Dodge left to-
day for Rock Island, Illinois, to take
in custody a man by the name of j..
OF Flora Stockwell. The man is
wanted for wife desertion and the
woman is wanted for theft The girl
formerly worked at The Wilson in
this city. 1t appears that Steeley left
his wife in Fort Dodge and came to
this city. He met the Stockwell girl
here and becoming infatuated with
her took her with him. When they
disappeared it was found that a
quantity of silverware and linen be-
longing. to the hotel had disappeared
also. This happened week or so
ago and in a short time word came
from Fort Dodge that Steeley was
wanted on warrant for wife deser-
ton. The authorities got busy and
tracked the two from this city to
Waterloo and from there to Rock
Island In a short time their street
address was found and it was discov-
cred that they were doing light
housekeeping. The sheriff at Rock
Island was telegraphed last evening
to arrest them and this morning he
telegraphed back to Sheriff Nelson
that he had both in custody. Steeley,
while under arrest on the charge of
wife desertion, is in a serious posi-
ton, as he stands liable to prosecu-
ton under the Mann white slave act.
