ENoCH ARDEN COMES TO IOWA.
Returned Soldier Finds Wife Has
Remarked.

West Union, Ian. 29.-An Enoch
Arden case wherein Enoch refused
TO eliminate himself has developed at
Oelwein when James A. Mooney. Of
Waterloo, who returned recently
from guard service on the border.
came to Oelwein to find his wife.
Mooney left for Mexico with the
Waterloo company only seven months
ago. but that was plenty long enough
time for his bride of less than a year
to hear of his supposed death, to don
and doff her widows weeds, and to
have enjoyed almost four months of
new connubial bliss.
Mooney came from Waterloo to
Oelwein in his military uniform AMI
either that attraction or the bigamy
charge which he prepared to bring
had strong effect on his wife, foc
she announced that she preferred
husband number one to husband
number two, since he is alive. She
asserts she got letter informing
her that he had been shot while do
ing soldiers duty.
Mooney was married to Miss Dor
othy Welch Oct. 80, 1915, went south
in July, and the marriage to Lthmer
took place Oct. 4, 1916.
