Lieut.. Bourque before he was killed in
battle. These two young men were
very close friends and when Lieut..
Schryver was ready to leave France
for home he undertook the task OF
bringing his dead comrades trunk
home with him. In order to keep his
promise. Lieut.. Schryver was delayed
in sailing for six weeks while he
gained possession OF the trunk, which
was at ST. Afghan. some distance
from where he was located. Landing

promise. He LETT his own baggage in
New York and did not even think Of
going to his home until he had seen
the trunk safely in the possession Of
Lieut.. Bourque's family. He arrived
in this city last Thursday night al s

opinion that the coming season will :.
a busy one. This opinion is based upon
the business in the winter resorts which

large extent the proprietors of hotels.

sider the business OF the winter season

the winter season did open as there
were SO naaw demands made upon
them that they were almost compelled
20 do so. The Maine motel men con-
Quoting summer places are much inter-
ested in the excellent business now be-
ing enjoyed by the hotels n the South
and are more active than they have
been for several seasons in preparing
for many visitors the coming summer.
The question Of help is not so perplex-
ing as last season and in many in

stuffs is lower. These changed condi-
tons work to the advantage Of the ho-

Wife Is Told.
DR.. Bortz and Miss Clara Yansman
were married twenty-five years ago
Some three years ago he went to his
wife and told her about the gossip
going around about him and Mrs Am
man, and wanted her to know the
news from his lips. Later she received
anonymous letters showed under her
door, advising her that she should do
some investigating; she now thinks
/ that her husband wanted her to get
divorce and that he placed them there.
He Joined the army two years ago; she
saw him only once since then. She
says Mrs Amman disappeared about
! the same time and that she was around
the different army camps where the
doctor was stationed. Mrs. Amman
was divorced last spring by her hus-
band, Barney Amman. Mrs. Bortz
went to Chicago to reside and where
her daughter attended high school
| Then it was that the doctor wrote her
| that he was going on an extended TRIP
through Cuba and South America,
advising her not to write, as he would
| have no permanent address: later on
! he sent word that he was coming back
to Nauvoo to practice medicine, and
that he had bought drug store at
Campbell Hill. ILL.,. and was selling
out the stock as quickly as possible.
When he failed to return to Nauyoo,
she became suspicious and began an
Investigation on her own account, and
| found him living with Mrs Amman.
When Mrs. Bortz met her husband in
court, she said: Now I've caught you
in your dirty work at last, John Bortz."
Mrs. Bortz and Mrs. Amman then had
war Of words.
Bonds Are Given.
The case was postponed until next
Friday, and bond was fixed at $500 in
the case of the doctor and 5000 in the
case of the Amman woman They fur
nished bond and left together in an
auto. while Mrs. Bortz was left sitting
in the court room looking forlorn and
deserted She Will remain here until
the case Is decided
Mrs. Bortz states that her husband
| is 56 years of age, that the live pirate
tho rod hot i., hut

Bortz, while some years Older than
the other woman, is handsome look
ing woman. The other woman could
not be termed pretty.
The doctor doesn't look like a
heart breaker. He has dark hair, a
dark moustache and the veins show
plainly In his nose. Campbell Hill
people think great deal or him, the
Republican is told and they like the
woman they had supposed was his
wife.
The doctor told Republican re-
porter that he was contributing $50
to SIS month to his wife's support
Mrs. Bortz told Of this too, but she
said the figure was $50 every month.
DR.. Bortz still owns an interest in
the business building formerly occu
pied by the telephone company in
Nauvoo.
Much sympathy is expressed for
Mrs. Bortz and daughter by their nu-
merous friends in Nauvoo and vicinity

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 4.-Prompt
action on the appeals of foreign pc
troleum companies was promised by
Mexican officials today when 1t devel-
oped that the supreme court had be-
gun active consideration of the oil
cases, without waiting for the action
of congress. The appeals have been
divided into eight groups.
The entire force of the Mexico
Electric City Railway company, which
operates the street railways and the
water and light plants, threatened to
strike today because five Of the
American employees, who mad held re-
sponsible positions for many years
were discharged without reason. The
company is owned by British inter
ests.
