Still Loves Former Washburn Girl

| Still Loves ormer Waehburn GlfH
If his wife will come back to
him, George Troy, 521 Baxter
avenue, husband No. sis ready
to forgive and forget all. Troy
has solicited the aid of the police
in Superior and Duluth in locat-
ing Friend Wife," who secured
her sixth marriage license in
Duluth last week and is supposed
to have eloped with Frank Grad
Usher, another local man, whom
she loves more than any of the
many others with whom she
lived, according to the story told
the officers.
To the police, Troy, who is en-
ployed as a cement worker at
the Orphans Home, told an I'M
usual story of his wife's career.
Mrs. James N. Thompson, 221
Grand avenue, contributed to
the story by furnishing a list of
the woman's previous husbands
and a short biography of each.
Troy's wife's maiden name
was Ethel Boushie. She was
married to Ole Christopherson of
Washburn when only Is years
old. They had two children, one
a girl, who was married about a
year ago when the same age as
was her mother when the elder
woman became Mrs. Christopher
son. Mrs. Troy is only 33 years
old now but is grandmother,
according to Troy.
Life was not happy with
Christopherson and she secured
a divorce and married John
Stuffal of North Dakota, accord
ing to Troy. Stuffal was muir
dered and the woman was alone
again. Next she married Edward
Olson of Washburn and again
became divorced. Richard Black,
a former Superior rooming-house
proprietor, now dead. was the
fourth husband.
Troy, the fifth and present
husband, was married to the
woman in 1913. A courtship
which ended in marriage was
begun at Washburn. Troy said
he met the woman ION the street
one day." They became acquint-
ed. "She said she didn't have a
home and took pity on her. I
went with her for some months
and then we came to Duluth and
were married. l did not know
at that time of her previous hus-
bands. Still I think a whole lot
of her and am willing to take her
back, but I would like to send
that other fellow to jail"
Troy said that for time they
lived at a hotel on lower Baxter
avenue. "She was the queen of
the boarding house," said Troy.
Troy said he met Gradisher just
once. That was at a residence
on lower Banks avenue. 1t was
through the woman at that house
that Troy learned that his wife
was planning to elope. Superior

Have Been a Worry to
Police for Weeks
Caught Monday Morning En-
tering Wiechmann's
Drug Store.

"A gang OF youths ranging II
age from ten to fourteen years
who have been giving the police
force and several of the loca
business men considerable worry
during the past five or six weeks
was broken up on Monday morn.
ing of this week when one OF
the party was caught breaking
into the store of B. A. Wiech-
mann. On account of the tender
ages of the children we will not
publish any names in the hope
that the lesson will be a warning
and that they may turn out to
be good boys.
The series Of robberies dates
back some weeks ago when the
store of Amos M. Hansen was
broken into on several occasions
and small amounts of change
taken. One thing noticeable
was that all of the change was
not taken which lead the officers
to believe that it was the work
of youngsters.
For several nights the store
force at Hansen's put in many
hours and on several occasions
the officers watched the place
but the culprits could not be
apprehended. Then. one night,
Raymond Hudson discovered
persons at the rear of the Han
son store and as he attempted
to see who it was the persons
made their getaway.
The next place where robberies
were reported was at Ungrodt's
store but a careful watch failed
to reveal who the parties were.
Wiechmann's drug store was the
next place entered and nearly
every night something was
missing. The clerk at Wiech-
mann's place determined to
locate the parties if it took a
year and each night some one
was stationed at the store. On
Saturday night a careful watch
was put forth and when the
clerks left the store in the morn
ing everything was O. K. but
when they returned again after
breakfast it was discovered the
store had been entered. This
lead them to believe that it was
the work of youngsters and
from that time on the store was
not left alone. On Monday
morning at 7:3O o'clock Mr..
Oldendorf, who was on watch
began to think that another
night had been wasted when he
heard footsteps approaching on
the cellar steps. He laid in
wait for the robber and imagine
his surprise when a little head
poked it's way through the door.
| Upon being nabbed the story
of the entire affair was told by
the youth who implicated six
others. He stated that he had
been delegated that morning to
enter the Wiechmann store and
that each day different members
of the gang were delegated to do
certain jobs. The proceeds of
the haul" were divided among
the members of the gang
after each robbery and the <'loot''
included money, candy, revolver
shells, etc.,
1t is indeed too bad that these
youths of such Gender years
should be implicated in deal of
this kind for the boys all come
from good families, whose par
ents were shocked to learn of
the deals their sons had gotten
into.
