Kiinslon was a mer*ber of It lie state troop located near Swoy 'ersville Luzerne county, and while there he fell in love with Miss ! (<race Oslick, the eighteen-year- j i old daughter of the village hotel keeper. They were married last i Thursday. On Saturday Funston' js reported to have made an excuse j I togo to Wilkes-Harre, since which j time lie has not been seen. Now his bride claims to have discovered letters in his trunk which go toj show that Funston has a wife 1 iv- j ing in Sullivan county and another in Allegheny. Prom the tenor of a letter writ-1 ten to Funston from Attorney Shoe maker, of Sullivan county, it wsi* evident that he was trying to ;;et a divorce from his Laporte wife. The trooper's home is in Laporte. The Swoyersville wife had a conversa tion by telephone with the Laporte wife and the two will probably act concertly in an elYor I .to apprehend : Funston and prosecute him. —Wil- | liainsport Sun. ; Wedonot know how much truth there may be in this story. It iscer-j tain Mr, Funston has no wife in Laporte or in Sullivan county. 11 <' has commenced proceedings in this county lor a divorce, from which it appears that he was married at Shaniokin in 1X97. lie alleges in his petition that his wife deserted him in 189S. She was in Pittsburg when she tiled her answer, which was in 1904, Funston was a soldier, and with U. S. Army in Cuba during the war with Spain. When his term of service expired he re-enlisted and served until his second term of service expired in 1904, when lie j was honorably discharged. When the State Police force was organized he was appointed a mem ber of that force and has served as such up to this time. His friends here are of the opinion that there are two sides to the story of liisi marriage at Swoyersville, and that his side of the story has not yet j been heard.
