Letter Referring to the Gift Fell
Into Wife's Hands and Man
in the Case Left Town
A well known West Sayre man
is missing from his home, and
efforts of his family to trace him
farther than Elmira have thus far
proved unavailing. The reasons
for his being absent have just come
to light and the story is one that
will be read with interest.
It appears that for some time the
man, who has long since passed
the. meridian of life, has been en-
amored of a fair young damsel who
also resides in West Sayre. The
girl is said to be only eighteen and
unusually good looking,
The man, who is married, and
has a grown up daughter, is said
to have recently received a letter
from the girl, in which she ac
knowledges receiving a sum of
money and also refers to a dia~
mond ring, costing $40, which he
had purchased for her, Unfortu-
nately for the man the letter in
some umaccountable manner fell
into his wife's hands, and then the
tur flew. A diamond ring pure
chased by a man for a woman
other than his wife is particularly
conducive to exciting the green
eyed monster to activity, and this
case was no exception to the rule.
The letter also named a date for
a meeting and contained little
nothings that did not tend to soothe
the injured feelings of the wife,
Upon learning that the telltale
letter had fallen into the hands of
his better half and also fearing the
wrath of the girl's father, the man
in the case quictly gathered up his
personal effects, and like the Arab,
stole away in the night. He went
to Elmira, at least he was traced
that far by members of the family ;
but a diligent inquiry failed to elicit
any further information as to where
he had gone. The letters which
he had sent to the girl \1 question
have been placed in the hinds of a
well known lawyer, but as the
principal in the affair is missing it
is difficult to determine just what
the lawyer can do.
The story has created no end of
talk among those who are ac-
quaioted with the facts and the
scandalmongers and gossips have
been busy night and day since the
affair came to their notice.
TURNED ON THE HOSE
Yesterday afternoon two men
went to a well known livery stable
to secure a rig. It is alleged that
both were in an intoxicated condi-
tion, one of them being “more so"
than the other. The proprietor of
the stable was away, and in his
absence his wife attends to the
business of letting rigs. When she
saw the condition of the men she
refused to let them have a rig.
Then she alleges that the men bes
came abusive to her 11-year-old
daughter, and when she told them
to leave the premises they refused.
She picked up a hose which was
handy and one of the men was
given a drenching. © Then hé left.

Aubura Divisioni Near Smithboro
Was Tied Up for a Time
The severe electric storm which
passed north of this section during
the early part of last night hit the
Lehigh rather hard, especially on
the Auburn branch near Smith-
boro. At that place a creck wash-
ed a large quantity of gravel onto
the tracks. In one place the
tracks were covered for a distance
of nearly fifty feet, and at another
point the road bed was covered for
a considerable distance. Passenger
trains were run over the D. L. &
W. to Waverly, and it was not un-
til early this morning that the
tracks were cleared. :
The village of Smithboro was
also hit hard. A small creek which
runs to the north of the town over-
flowed its banks, washing away
two barns and several outbuildings.
Many gardens were destroyed,
wagon roads were badly damaged
and the entire town felt the effects
of the severe storm. The storm
raged for nearly two hours and it
is regarded as the worst storm of
the present season.
Later advices from Smithboro
say that the damage wrought by
the storm at that place is extensive
A creck which runs at right angles
through the center of the town
caused all the trouble. Over the
creck in the business part of the
town is a concrete bridge and the
space underneath was not large
enough to allow the immemse vols
ume of water to go through. The
water backed up into the town and
soon the water in the main street
was several feet deep. A haystack
came down from the hillside and
when it reached the bridge was
diverted, finally landing directly in
front of the postoffice. The post-
office was submerged and there
were several feet of water on the
floor. Private residences also suf:
fered badly, as did pigs, fowls and
small livestock.
Old inhabitants say that the
storm was the worst ever experis
enced in that section. A huge
black cloud resembling a water-
spout hung over the hill to the
north, and for over an hour it
poured forth torrents,
Owego is also said to have suf
fered extensively from the storm,
and on Hiawatha Island two barns
were struck by lightning and
burned, Ll
