SKIPPED WITH HIS M0NF.Y.
George Hacklcr'6 Wife Takes All His Cash
anil Departs for Kansas I'ity With-
out Husband's Consent.
Air. and Mrs. George Hackler, who
have been living in the southeast part of
town, sold their home last week, and Ui-
'i ended to move up town and rent rooms
ov er one of the stores. The considera-
tion of the sale of their place was $275,
hut not more than $200 was paid in ca.,h.
Tho next day after tho place was dis-
posed of, they were up town looking for
vacant rooms, and late in the evening
Mrs. Hackler told her husband tc go
home and build a lire, and she would go
to the meat market and get some meat
for supper and jrnld be home soon.
In the meantime, Mrs. Hackler had
-eat a drayman to the house for her
trunks, which had been packed preps
tory to moving, and had them taken to
the depot. As soon as her husband was
'ut of sight on his way home, she went
<p the depot and purchased a ticket for
Kansas City, and left that evening o.'.
he 5 o'clock train. Hackler waited at
Ijome for his wife to comc with tho
meat, and finally mistrusting that things
*#.'• not as they should be, returned to
town, where he learned that his wife
had left' for Kansas City, taking all the
proaeeds of the salo of the home and his
trunk coniaining his Sunday clothos and
other personal effects.
That Hackler was mad goes without
saying. He consulted some of his inti-
mate friends as to the best course to
pursue, and finally decided to let his
wife go, saying that she had done the
same kind of a trick once before and
had returned to him, and that Jie guessed
she would come back this time.
Mrs. Hackler had secured possession
of her husband's money under the pre-
tense that sho wished to put it away
where no one could find it in case rob-
bers broke into the houi.3.
Mr. and Mrs. Hackler have been mar-
ried about nine years. Ho is about fifty
years of age, while sho is not yet thirty.
They hive no children, but he has sev-
eral grown children by a former wife. It
is said that Mrs. Hackler has been carry-
ing on a clandestine correspondence with
some fellow, under her maiden name,
but it is not known whether she went to
meet him. She is a good looking woman
and quite stylish, both in bearing and
at'ire. . . ;
Hackler sold his household goodr the,
day after his wife loft, and departed for
Missouri, where he lived before coming
to Hennessey, Before leaving he said
lie would not attei-ipt to locate his wife.

W'LL BRING SUIT.
Victims of Cashion Bridge Accident Have
Retained Legal Talent, in an Action
for Damages.
The much talked of damage suit as a
result of tne Cottonwood river bridge ac-
cident near Cash or a few weeks ago, is
to be brought. Charles Casey and Pat-
rick O'lirien, who received serious injur-
ies in the csllapse Of the bridge, have
retained Cotteral an 1 Horner of Guthrie,
to make a case for them against those
who were responsible for the bridge. As
Casey's father was killed in the wreck
and his two brothers and O'Brien injur-
ed in addition also to the loss of one
horse, a big amount of damages will
undoubtedly be asked. As soon as all
the injured men are able t® bo out the
suit will be pushed.
Charles Casey is improving but is still
confined in bed. Pat O'Brien is in a
serious condition, and his injuries in-1he
back may cripple him for life. John
and M. 1). Casey are up and around.
The county surveyors f both Oklaho-
ma and Kingfisher counties viewed the
wreckage Sunday. The bridge had not
been accepted cr anything paid for it.
The contract price was $1,^00, of which
sum Kingfisher county was to pay $1,450
and Cashion $350. The bridge was built
by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company
of Canton, Ohio.

•Mr. and Mrs. Win Carmer, livin?
about six miles southeast of town, gav<
an elegant birthday party in honor oi
two of their children last Saturday
There were fifty-four guests present, not
counting Dr. Rector of Hennessey—wh<
was invited efter. tho festivities began-
and a merry time, in moro ways thai,
one, was onjoyed by all present. An ex-
cellent dinner was served, to which botl
old and young did ample justice. The
dinner deserves special mention, as it i>
said to have amounted to a regular ban
qiitet, consisting of all the good things ti
eat that it was possible to procure.
We wero told on the quiet that Dr
Rector was not invited for the sake ol
Ms company, but because of his ability
to set broken limbs, patch peelod noses,
repair cracked craniums, etc. Tho chil-
dren had such a rollicking good time
that they became reckless. One of the
little tots led off by tumbling down
stairs. As soon as the cxcitement inci-
dent to this form of amusement subsid-
ed, another child fell into the cellar.
Then the little son of Sol Grim broke
his arm, and another child fainted. By
this time tho doctor began to show signs <
of being overworked, and'the kids calloil'
eyeVyting off. The injured wero patched
up and it was decided by the children
that only tho ordinary forms of sport,
would be carried out the rest of the day.
Notwithstanding the casualties, every-
body had a good time, and are waiting
for another birthday party to be given,
by the Carmers, so they can have anoth-
er time like they had Saturday,
"Stick to It."
Ceo. L. Heard of High Tower, Geor-
gia, writes: "Eczema broke out on my
baby, covoring his entire body. Under
treatment of our family physician ho
got worse, as ho could not sleep for the
burning and itching. We used a bo* of
'Banner Salve' on him, and by the timo
it was gone he was well. The doctor,
seoing that it was curing him, said:
'Stick to it, for 'jt is doing him moro
gooc1 than anything 1 have done for
him.' G. C. Saur.
