WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Rural Carrier Hess and Mrs. U. Z, Geib of Rapho, Have Eloped The Manheim Sentinel of Friday, tells the story of an elopment as fol lows: In another column of this issue Mr. U, Z. a well-known prominent citizen and registry as- sessor of Rapho township, publishes a card warning the public against trusting or harboring his wife, Sarah Geib, on his account, as she has left his bed and board without just cause. Geib, Mr. Geib isa patron of route No. 4, of the R. F. D. out from this Borough, and his postman was Emanuel M. Hess, of Rapho town- ship, who beld the position since the introduction of the system here. Mr, Hess took his dinner and fed his horse regularly at Mr. Geib’s home, and in the bargain, it is alleged, won the good will and affec tions of his wife. Mr. G. never suspicioned his wife of any wrong doing, and when she left her on Monday a week ago home under the pretense of visiting a sister at Lititz whom she told him was ill, he never dreamed of what was coming, When she did not return in the evening he became worried, fearing something had befallen her. The next day he came to this Borough and found his team at the hotel of kis brother-in-law, Mr. Horace L. Pritz, and not being able to learn the whereabouts of his wife went home. In the meantime, he learned of the disappearance of Mr. Hess Then only did it dawn upon him that possibly their intimacy had ripened into more than ordinary friendship and that they might have gone away together. Mr, Gelb'’s trip home was with a heavy heart, and he was almost posi tive that if his Sallie had left him, she would have left bebind a letter telling him go. He set about hunt- ing for it, and, sure enough, he found one last Friday. Init after addressing him as ¢‘Dear Husband,” she tells him she has gone for good that she had been thinking over the subject for sometime and that for some reasons she hates to do it, and after telling him that she thinks he knows with whom she is going, she closes with the wish that God may bless him and the children. Mrs. Geib is gone and has left behind a faithful husband and a large family of children. She is less than forty years of age, and was a daughter of the late John Traub, of this Borough. E. M. Hess left his home on the Saturday previous to Mrs. Geib’s disappearance. He took with him all the ready cash he could get to— gether, and since then nothing has been heard of him, although a num- ber of creditors would be pleased to know of his whereabouts, Mr. Hess is at least forty-five years of age, and left behind an estimable wife and an interesting family of children several of whom are married. Both the alleged elopers are be- lieved to have taken with them nice sums of money, and they will no doubt live in ¢‘clover” as long as the cash lasts, Where they have gone no one knows, and hardly any care, Mr, Geib will at once begin proceedings in divorce, and it is likely that Mrs, Hess will do like- wise. Both families have the sympathies of the community in their troubles. Sheriff Ziegler on Friday sold the personal property of E. M. Hess, of Rapho township, for $686.20, Several years ago Hess gave his wife a jndgment note for $650. After Mrs, Hess learned of the elopement, she entered the judgment she held against her husband, which, with in terest, amounted to $1,081,17, She realized the above amount from the sale of his personal effects. Nothing has yet been learned as to the whereabouts of Iless and Mrs, Geib.
