Marcus L. Mullen Pleads

A Master Emery Tittle strutted
into the parlor of Sam Itidenhour'
residence Saturday afternoon and con
jjl fronted his aunt he was known only
by his clothing and his childish voice
saying "Auntie me an' Junior's been
playin' barber."

Not Endure His Treatment
And Now Seeks Divorce
He Threatened to
Kill Her.
. t Marcus L. Mullen was here yester-
j day with an extraordinarily high col-
. ; lar a heart so overladen with love
that sickly sentimental tears of affec-
tlon gushed from his eyes as he
begged his handsome wife whom he Is
said to have mistreated to return to
r him. To demonstrate his love Mullen
showed a revolver which Marshal
Darrough took away from him.
1 About a year-and-a-half ago Mullen
who was working with a government
surveying party near Fairland wooed
and won the pretty Editha Hitter
whose family is one of the most highly
respected and worthy in the territory.
Miss Editha had been highly educated
' at the Sistine convent at Louisville
' and lias all the accomplishments of
' i the refined lady.
4 Fifteen months ago she made what
she now realizes was a sad mistake.
She listened to the soft words of the
I not unattractive Mullen and siiccumb-
1 ed to his blandishments. The young
couple were married shortly after the
' tJi'l's eighteenth birthday. Mullen
took her to his mother's home at
'Sansas City where he vMted her
1ien he could gt a vacation from
V"7i! work in the field. Mrs. Mullen
; could not endure the home he had
taken her to and after two months
returned to her parents at Fairland.
There Mullen visited at short Inter
virls until a year ago when lie left.
He is now so he states employed as a
clerk In a store at yuincy 111. He
did not provide for his wife and she
determined to obtain a divorce and
' for that reason came to this city and
consulted with Attorney John R
Turner. The year of separation will
not have passKi until Friday. On
t that day the papers will be filed.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Mullens
Attorney Turner and the marshal's
office were notified by telephone and
telegraph to be on their fuard against
Mullen as lie had reached Fairland
and had left for Vinita upon learning
of his wife's whereabouts. The mes
sages stated that he threatened to
. kill his young wife.
f When Mullen readied here lie
Deggea lor an audience and tills was
! granted by Mrs. Mullen who however
took the precaution to have her attor
ney and Deputy Lon Connors present.
. Mullen begged her to return to him
but she was firm In her refusal. He
' wept and entreated all in vain
s Finally he commenced to bluster and
' threaten saying tliat he would kill
her and then kill himself. When he
naa weni mat. iar uie interview was
J. nded and at the marshal's office he
was made to surrender his revolver.
He stated later that he was going
back to Quincy last night and asked
that Mr. Turner check a trunk for
him to that place. It was learned
' this morning however that Mullen
went south and left the train at Tryor
Creek. Mrs. Mullen will be protected
if he returns to Vinita.

was the ragged edge of one curl re
maining.
The precocious Sam Ilidenhour jr
had taken fifteen minutes off to play
barber. He had persuaded his two
years younger cousin to accompany
him to the wood shed where he
wielded the shears.
Wellwhat happened to Little Sam
need not be told.

in the territory where the system was
represented by dispatchers. Railroad

A Physician Healed.
Dr. Geo. Ewing a practicing physi
cian of Smith's Grove Ky. for over
thirty years writes his personal ex-
perience with Foley's Kidney Cure:
For years I had been greatly bothered
with kidney and bladder trouble and
enlarged prostrate gland. I used
everything known to the profession
without relief until I commenced to
use Foley's Kidney Cure. Aftertaking
three bottles I was entirely relieved
and cured. I prescribe it now daily
in my practice and heartily recom
mend its use to all physicians for such
troubles. I have prescribed it in hun
dreds of cases with perfect success."
