I W. ('. Kunston, a member <>!' tin

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- |

; 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.

The tunnel is to drain several of the
' mines of the company in Pitston ami

i The tunnel will be six by eight feet
