Trouble has broke out anew between
the Wilbur McGeyern and Charles Ku-
merit families OF the town of Shields who
were involved in trouble a few months
ago, when McGoyern brought suit for
slander and liebeI against Amelia and
Edna Kunert, wife and daughter of

dy of her parents. Edna Kunert disap-
peared from her home on the night of
June 10. The father claims to have in
formation that McGovern and Miss Ku-
merit were seen in buggy on their way
toward Waterloo on June 90 and that
the girl took west bound train from
Waterloo. Miss Kunert had been re-
celvlng attentions from young man
for about two years and On account of
her youth, the parents did not approve
OF the prospective match. The suitor
left the vicinity few days before the
girls disappearance and it is thought
probable that he met the girl somewhere
along the line and taken her away.
The complaint against McGovern was
filed in Justice Schmutzlers court. The
arrest was made by Deputy Sheriff Her
man Kruger. McGoyern, who protests
his innocence OF connection with the
disappearance of the girl, was put un-
der bonds of $500 for his appearance for
