Mr. John L. Dunback, the Lucas- ville, Ohio, farmer.who was in Chil-licothe Monday night and at Yellow Bud Tuesday, on the bunt of his wife, who had skipped out with a wood chopper named Porter, an exclusive account of which was given in Tub Daily Gazette, re- mesaay nignt, on tne i. w. soutn bound last mail train.

Mr. Dunback held his own counsel and refused to talk further on the subject. It was ascertained however, that he came here Tuesday with only a few dollars, that his return home was to reinburse himself financially, and consult Judge James Bannon, of Portsmouth, as to how to proceed in tho matter, after which he will come back to ChiUicothe and make it warm for his unfaithful wife and the illicit object of her affections. A few months ago he fHed.through Judge Bannon, in the Scioto Common Pleas, proceedings for divorce. In his petition he charged Mrs.

Dunback with adultery with Porter. The suit was afterwards withdrawn, he paying the costs, and she promising to reform and be true. The Daily Gazette learned, at noon to-day, that Mrs. Dunback joined Porter at Yellow Bud. He was husking corn for Mr.

Shep Kellar. She told Mr. Kellar that she was from Portsmouth that she bad secured a divorce from ber husband, and that she and Porter were going to get married. They remained at Kellar's over Sunday, leaving there suddenly after midnight, Monday. What direction thoy took, or where they went, is not known.

A petition to grant a writ of habeas corpus was rued heiore uage Thomas yesterday afternoon, by Mr. Elijah Cutright, as counsel for John Comer, who is confined in the county jail. It is averred in the petition that Comer was arrested and charged with contempt of court, by Mayor George Recobs, of BournevIIIe, because he did not appear before bis honor, on the thirtieth day of last May, in an action for obtaining goods under false pretences, brought by a merchant in BournevIIIe.

The case was continued and ad justed before the date appointed for another hearing, and because Comer did not show up, be was fined $5 and costs, and sentenoed to the county jail for five days, by Mayor Recobs, who had him arrested about a week ago. As he stands committed nntll fine and costs are paid, this is, in effeot, a life time sentence, and thus, the cause of habeas corpus proceedings. The case was argued in the pres ence of Judge Thomas, who rendered a decision granting Comer his liberty. Preparing an Open Meeting. Court Mt.

A DILEHHA AT BOURNEVILLE. How the Keys of the Village Jail Managed to Break np the Village Government of Bouroeville The Marshil Arraigned For Contempt and Round Over to th Frohate Court -Legal Advice Telia the" Mirshal to Pay no Attention to the Mayor and He Follows It The Whole Matter Settles Down to '-Who Shall Fay the 2.40 Costs." The Daily Gazette recently published an account of the trouble between the Marshal and Mayor of Bourneville, which trouble has caused the little village to remain in a stew of excitement ever since. The trouble came about in this manner: Mayor George W.

Recobs frequently has use for the village jail, as might naturally be expected of the mayor of a village, and according to the mayor's statement, he has frequently had difficulty in obtaining entrance to the jail, when these demands arose, for the reason that Marshal George W. Roads would have the keys, and would absent himself from the village, apparently oblivious of that fact. Mayor Recobs finally grew tired of this, and ordered the marshal to give up the keys. The marshal flatly refused to cede his authority) and there was turmoil and strife. The mayor said he didn't want the marshal gallivanting all over the county with the keys of the jail in his pocket, and the marshal retorted that he didn't care a continental what the mayor liked or didn't like, be proposed to keep the keys.

Mayor Recobs finally took the bull by the horns, and landed the marshal in the jail for contempt of court. The marshal was bound over to the Probate Court in the sum of $100, which bond he furnished, and was almost immediately released. The mayor, at the time that he had in carcerated the marshal in the jail, also relieved him of bis badge and all his authority. As soon as the marshal furnished his bond, he came to this city and consulted his attorneys, who advised him to go back to Bourneville, put on his badge and follow out the duties of his office as though nothing had happened, and this he did. When the marshal came back to Bourneville, and once more attempted to exercise his authority, the mayor again flew off the handle, Jand wanted the marshal to heed his orders, but all in vain.

The mayor finally came to this city, to see what could be done, making the trip yesterday. He consulted Prosecutor Paul Cooke in regard to the matter, and received a final answer. It seems that before he came here, however, that he and Roads had bad a talk about settling the dispute, and he had agreed to drop the matter, providing Roads would pay the costs involved in the' contempt-pro ceedings, some $2.40 in all. Roads refused to pay this, and the Mayor was left in the lurch. Prosecutor Cooke informed the muyor that he was on the wrong tack entirely, and the best thing he could do would be to return to Bourneville, let the costs take care of themselves, and allow the disturbance to subside, and the mayor will probably follow his advice.

Whether this will be the end of the trouble or not, is not known, for the citizens of Bourneville are very much worked up over the unseemly conduct of the municipal authorities, and there is strong talk of impeaching both the mayor and marshal, and putting in new officers who will not engage in disgraceful quarrels. After Marksmen's Buttons. The target shoot of Company 17th Infantry O. N. opened at one o'clock, this afternoon.

We DWVSON" WRITES A LETTER. ml iii This He Tells Liveryman Tom Arm-innig.

The outrage i imrnitted upon Mr. V. A. Jones, the well-known Twin township farmer, by which he was fleeced out of some $7,000, by a couple of sharpers, still continues the me theme of conversation on the streets and at all places where men xather.

The Daily Gazette gave considerable space to the subject yesterday, but fresh Information lias been received since that issue went lo press. The talk on the corners and in the counting rooms of the clty.aod iu the homes and byways of the rural districts, brings out a large quantity of theories, the most of which are built on sandy foundations and soon disappear. There is no doubt that three men were in with the trick, and more than likely the third party is a local personage. This is accounted for from the fact- that the buncoist Smith would not have left Farmer Jones out of bis buggy at Second and "Walnut streets, with the Instructions to go direct to the bank and draw his unless there was a third man in waiting to shadow the footsteps of the Intended victim. Men in the confidence business do not leave such openiugs without a sentinel or a watch.

They are people who are wanted elsewhere' and It would be unsafe for the victim to get from under their eyes, for he might take a second thought and instead of seeking the bank, visit police headquarters, aud give the authorities a tip that would mean months of incarceration behind prison So t'aero Is no doubt but Mr. Jones was watched by the third man, from the tuns he loft the boggy until he drew the money and letnnisil. Had he gone by the bank, or id ho had been put on hi guard in the bank, and then gone to the polios station, his movements would ivo boeo tipped to the wait ing Mr. Smith and he wuld have imile good his es3Hpf. In the tin cash box: which the sharpers lof with Mr.

W. A. Jones, was found, as yesterday, rail load maps and guides, newspapers and newspaper clippings, and a let tor of advice. This was certainly an oversight on th part of the swind lrtrs, but as the old suy Ing is, "a thief always loaves a rat hole in bis work that tlually leads to his detection." On the maps were peculiar "dots and darts," showing that at one time they were engaged iu the green goods business In New York; on a railway guide was a sample of their hand writing, and the letter of advice was printed, not written, which further shows they are familiar with the green goods scheme. And theu this letter, from iu iincs, was intended to have been mailed to Mr.

Jones Immediately, after the turning of the trick, and for the purpose of closing his mouth. When used by buncolsts, that's the way they do It. The letter Is strongly worded and well calculated to keep things quiet. This letter Mr. Jones has not seen, as yet.

Had it been mailed him, as no doubt woa Intended, and not left In the box with their private papers, tho sharpers would have succeeded in keppiug the trick from the public Tiru Daily Gazetth had hoped to give theletter in full.but tbeofflolals at the Savings Itank refuse to show It, unless Mr. Jones consents thereto. It has been learned from a reliable Hource, however, that It advised him goto aqulot place ufter finding out hU low. and there with his con science and his God study well the lesson Imparted to him. It strongly urges him tell uo one of the transaction not to tell his neighbors, for they would laugh at him not to tell hla banker, for he would look with suspicion ipon him, aud to keep It from his family, for they would not rospect him.

The letter, by that skillful art of "word jugglery" wns Intended to convey to the mind of Mr. Jones that he had born mixed up with gamblers, en gaged In a gambling deed to win money, which If found out would ruin nml wreck dim. mnkltllT him a man without credit, scorned and despised. It closing linos are beautiful Dhrtises Impressing Mr. Jonrs with the fact that he took Mr.

Jones of for a BTeeiiliorn, when In fact ho was Mr. Smith's pnrtuer. Bidding him goodby, they promised i the case, and that be objected to paying $400, and only wanted to pay 100. He said that he had paid Mrs. Posey some $25, and had no contract with her as to price, that he had her employed to hunt up evidence.

Dr. Dawley took the stand after Mr. Blosser, and corroborated Mr. Blosser's statements. He stated that the child was a full term child, and that it was apparently healthy.

Dr.Dawley's testimony was clearly put, and the plaintiff acknowledged that it was truthful. Dr. Dawley was followed by Mrs. Sallie Anderson, a daughter of the defendant, who stated that Mrs. Sowers left Sept.

9th and not Sept. 18th, that Mrs. Sowers told her she hated her husband.and that she had been intimate with a man named Jennings who was an ol beau of hers, and that very probably she would marry him. Here's the Straight ot It. Cincinnati, Nov.

About twelve o'clock Dr. C. 8. Mo-Caflerty was summoned to render assistance to Miss Dolohan. He found the usual symptoms of la'uda- um polsoningand administering an emetic, relieved the patient.

A Daily Gazette representative called at the Dolohan residence shortly after Dr. McCaffety had ar rived there, and was told that Miss Dolohan had been suffering from neuralgia of the stomach, and had taken laudanum to relieve her pain. She had taken too much, and a physician had beensummoned to relieve her. Special Meeting. The young ladies of TriDity M.

THE PROSECUTION RESTS. Mrs. Sowers Was Kept on the Stand All Day Yesterday, and Succeeded In.

Getting Uer Stories All Mixed-Her Memory of Dates and Occurrences Were Especially Defective Young; Peter Blosser Takes the Stand and Ills Testimony Is, In Great Part, Contradictory of What Mrs. Sowers Claims to be the Truih-Very Disgusting Details. The Sowers vs. Blosser case Is, probably, the most sensational case that has been in this court for years, and the evidence, in great part, is entirely unfit for publication, and what is given is given with some hesitation, so the reader will pass his judgment on the account given herewith accordingly Mrs. Sowers continued her evidence, and on cross examination admitted that she and her husband bad separated three times; that they had quarreled, and he had struck her with a stick and she bad struck him.

She told of her husband accusing her of being too intimate with other men, and how he had claimed that one of the children which had died was nothis.Sbe reluctantly answered many questions that were put to her- Mrs. Sowers continued her testimony after dinner. She stated that Mr. Blosser had continued the intimacy with great constancy. In fact, she was not certain as to bow many times he bad visited heri when it came to that point.

She claimed that at one time the occurrence happened in the west room, and that Mr. Blosser fastened the door on the inside with a latch. On cross examination, when asked if she did not know that there was no latch on the door on the inside, she said she did not know, but she supposed he had pushed something against the door to hold it shut. 'She claimed that Mr, Blosser's visits were always made when the family was away from home. She admitted that she had not much love for her husband at any time, and as for Mr.

Blosser, she said she hated him. She denied that anyone ever saw her intimate with anyone, or ever caught her in- an embarrassing position. She denied having: been too intimate with a nanKair aha ilntmaS fla ft last. resort, that she didn't love anyone. She denied that, at one time, when She and her busbaud, Lou Bishop and several other men, were out riding, having allowed Bishop to hug her, hnbinl was too drunk to kuow wnat she was doing.

She finally wound up her testi mony by finding herself in a hopeless muddle in regard to dates and many facts, when she had been examined, cross-examined, re-ex amined and again re-cross-examined. She shifted her ground rapidly, and always studied a long time be fore she would give in her answer. Mrs. Sowers, having furnished her testimony, the jury was given a recess, and when the case was re sumed, Mr. Walsh announced to the court that the prosecution would rest with its evidence in chief.

This seemed to take everyone in tho court room by surprise, and Messrs. Phillips and Goldsberry held a consultation as to what would be done. They finally asked that Jacob Blosser, the defendant, be placed on the stand. As he bad not returned to the room, Mr. Peter Blosser, his son, was placed on the stand and the evidence of the de fendant was entered upon.

Mr. Blosser's evidence tended to disprove some of the statements made by Mrs. Sowers. Mrs. Bowers claimed that the defendant and she were intimate for the last time on September 18th, or two days before she left the Blosser borne, while Mr.

Blosser said that she left September Otb. Mr. Blosser also said that Mrs, Sowers was never left at home alone with his father; that some of the family always were at home, and that If anything crooked was going on he would have known It. On cross examination, Mr. Blosser re peated his evidence in chief, being In slight doubt as to the time Mrs Sowers left.

Ha was certain it was not later than Sept. 10th Mr. Blosser, the defendant, was put on the stand last evening, after his son had finished testifying. Only jKneral denial of tho charges were 'morning however.when tho cross ex r. -nl i i.

ot this kind before, bat said that th charges preferred were without foundation. I He said that bo had employed Mrs, Posey to look tip evidence in the case, and that he had paid Dr. B. A i Dawley, of Bainbridge, $100 for his A VERY BRILLIANT OCCASION. The Residence of Mr.

and Mm. uilder on Caldwell Street Scene of estUI'yon Last Evening-The Guests Assembled at the Mayor Office and Marched In a Body to the Residence Mr. B. Mills Chosen Master of Ceremonies Justice James H. Moore Covers Himself With Glory In an Extremely Clever Presentation Speech.

The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Edward G. Schilder was made a scene of gayety and pleasure last evening by numerous friends of the newly married couple, who had assembled to extend their congratulations in most appropriate form, by the presentation of a silver tea set. The guests, aooording to prearranged plans, met in a body at the Mayor's office, at half past seven o'clock, and after electing Mr.W.

B. Mills master of ceremonies, they marched, in a column of twos, to the Schilder residence, where they were ushered in aud most cordially greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Sohilder. After a short while, pleasantly spent in conversation, an elegant repast was served, at the conclusion of which Mr.

Mills called upon Mr. George Sosman to render a song Mr. Sosman graoefally responded to the request by singing that beautiful ballad, "The Song That Touched My Heart." Capt. E. U.

Wledler and Mayor C. C. Waddle followed upon the programme.with appropriate re marks. Mr. Chas.

F. Hess then answered the request of the master of ceremonies, by singing the Forgotten When We're Gone." Mr. George Emmell, who had the honor of naming the historic pot, "Monkeys' Nest," extended congratulations to the bride and groom, with most fitting compli ments. To Justice James H. Moore fell the pleasant duty of presenting the silver tea set.and he delivered a neat and cracef ul speech, worthy of the caslon.

The tea set consisted of five pieces and a salver, beautifully chased and engraved, upon a pearl finish, with the monogram E. G. upon each piece, and an inscription engraved upon the salver, "Compli ments and Congratulations of the friends of Monkeys' Nest, to Mr. and Mrs. Schilder.November 7tb, 1894.

The Wagon Broke In Two. There was a breeze of excitement raised Tuesday afternoon, at the C. II. D. R.

It. depot, caused by the mall wagon, that carries the mall to and from arriving trains, separating Into two parts. The front wheels became unloosened from the bed, the horse became frightened, and with the two front wheels, dashed up Paint street, but was checked before any damage was done. The bed of the wagon came to earth very quickly. The driver.

Clyde Williams, was hurled out frontwards by the sudden ston. Ho took the dashboard with him, and was buried beneath shower of mall sacks. Off Hot Owing lo Illness.

John A. Caldwell. Hon. William Lawrence, Hon. Charles A.

Taft and others. The hand writings and signatures were valuable to them, for future use along the line of tricks for money played on great men, where their signatures are necessary. The Enquirer of October 29 contained an account of the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Clarence Evans, a livery man of Norwood, near Cincinnati. Mr.

Evans drew $1,000 from the bank, and like Mr. Jones, would tell no one what he was going to do with it. He and his money disappeared a9 if the earth had swallowed them. The issue of the same paper, two days afterward. contained a further account of the mystery.

These papers plainly show that the sliarpers were keeping track of that disappearance and perhaps had something to do with it. On Friday, November 2nd, the sharpers came to Bainbridge, from Greenfield, which city they probably reached from this place. They called on Liveryman Armstrong, at Bainbridge, and hired a horse and buggy. They said they were farmers. They drove over to Mr.

W. A. Jones' place, but finding him away from home, returned, paid foi the rig, and departed in the direc tion they had come. On the next Friday, November 9, they again appeared at the Armstrong stable in Bainbridge, hired another rig, and made a second call at the JoneB homestead. Again they were disappointed.finding Mr.

Jones away from home, and again they returned, as they had on the former visit. Each time the sharpers hired a rig they were particular about the color of the horse, wanting a dark one and not a white one. They said they were superstitious. They came a third time last Tues day, but did not return as they had before. They had good reasons not to.

They had met Mr. Jones and he and a part of his money was their's. Instead of driving back to Bainbridge, they went direct to Sabina. as shown bv a letter from there to Mr. Armstrong, stating that his horse and buggy awaited his call at Sabina and that $10 was left there to pay fnr it.

The letter simply bore the signature of Dawson," In going to Sabina, Mr. Armstrong stopped otf for few hours at wasn inatou C. H. He was Interviewed bv Chief of Police McClellan, who took him to his home, and spread before hisgasse a gallery of rogues. Mr.
