the Quintette Became HI* Bride—
The Jilted Quartette 8wooned and
Did Other Equally Feminine Stunts,
and Now the Young Bank Teller
Loses in a Breach of Promise Suit
Brought by One of tho Number.
DIXON. HI.. NOV. 2si—It'« the old
story all over again—the story o'f the
moth and the flame. - Arthur R. Bux-
zell. of Dixon, Juat couldn’t atop pro
posing, and before he knew It waa
lx* love with five young women all the
aame time.
Fortunately, he can’t do that any
more, for he's married now to one of
the five. Unfortunately, on the other
hand, one of the other four haa sued
him for breach of promise, and dam
ages have been awarded to her In
the rum of $90®. She would have re
ceived more, doubtless, had not the
unsympathetic Jury reasoned that she
might have known about some of the
others.
As for the bride who won out in
thin five-hided race with Cupid, she
takes the verdict philosophically* Per
haps this la beat explained by the
fact that Mrs. Buzzell has been mar
ried before—she was Mrs. Ethel
Thompson, of Polo, Ill. And It might
have been worse, for Miss Neeloo
Garnei, of Leaf River, Ill., the fair
plaintiff In all this mlx-ujJ of love
and duty, sued for $10,000.
The bridegroom would have been
well able to pay. His father Is a
well-to-do resident of Leaf River,
which la nehr Dixon, and the son Is
a teller In the Union State Bank.
These are the five, all prominent so
cially In the suburban towns of the
state, whom young Buzzell Is accused
of courting at the same time:
The Courted Maids.
Miss Neeloo Gamer, 20 years old.
of Leaf River, one of the prettiest
girls In the town.
Miss Blanche Bender, 29 years old.
daughter of the Rev. John Bender,
First Congregational Church of Am
boy. Ill.
Miss Grace Smith, £2 years old, of
Oregon, Ill.
Mils Harriett Fay, 18 year* old, of
Rockford, HI.
Mrs. Ethel Thompson, formerlyMl«s
Ethel Waterman, 23 years old, of Po
lo, III.
But strangest • of all, no one ever
guessed that young Mr. Buzzell was
bo susceptible to feminine charm. He
was popular socially, but he had more
prominence In a business way than
at a dance or dinner. In fact, the
average man frlond of his rather
thought him diffident when the girls
were around, but that was because
young Mr. Buzzell didn't take anybody
Into his confidence.
His lady lore* were quite scattered
about and the bank teller didn't let bis
right hand know what hie left hand wu
doing. Every bod" thought he waa whol
ly wrapped up in bis work, and nothing
more—end that was far from the truth.
As it has now turned out In court he was
paying his devoirs to live young Trews a
other foi
found out and one of them
sued. He was writing ard-nt letters to
the four of them all at once, and raying
attention in rersnn to the fifth—pretty
Mrs. Thompson, now Mrs. .Bussell. Had
young Mr. Bussell remained unwed It Is .
doubtful if anyone would have guessed his

heart, and there were four others. |||

married another on the very day
promised to marry me. Ho gave nt_ ..
diamond ring the day before and left me
I to. be married.” ■
And to back up what she said she pro
dneed in court 116 love letters, which thfl
young man had written to her during
their brief courtship^^MmfcWfcremrewm
38 pages long. And
dent Mr. Buzzell was writing Just as fer
vently to the other four owners of his
Inflections. He just couldn’L help loving
and pronosing..
The case was bitterly fought by O.
S ■arris and E. L. Bhaner. counsel for the
■alntitf, and II. S. Dixon, counsel for the
defense. Pretty Miss Gamer had the mor
al support of the other three partners
with her In young Mr. Buzzell’s affec-
itlons. Of course. Mrs. Bussell, having
Imarrled the defendant, could hardly be
expected to aid them when she had cap-i
tnred the prize they all so eagerly sought.
Then came the lore letters—ardent, en
dearing, voluminous.
Soma of the Letters,
filers are some from this young man,
who put five strings to his bow:
■'My Dearest Neeloo: Dear,. I regTet
some of the things I said In my letter of
last evening, but tho more I think about
It. I realized it was because I cared for
you i*n much and I loved you so dearly.
I know now—I want you to know, my
isweetheart; that the love I have for you
Is so much greater than anything else I
have ever experienced that I realize what
ithe stings of jealousy I have felt con

_ He wrote of his advancement In the
bank axx*l of his regrets, because of his
great love. th%t he had not settled down
‘ oner. In this wise:
’‘But when I get to. thinking of such
things I try to drive away all troublesome
thoughts by thinking of you, my sweet-
hatrt-wtfe-to.be, and wishing I .had been
-T sensible in the last four years and
-—d more money, you know It would
have been much better for our future
If I had saved Any money and denied my
self a few pleasures.”
Pledges Undying Love.
Another letter read:
"And eo you would go home If I were
untrue to youT Tou were not untrue
to me. You could not be. could you.
Bweetheartf I know what I would do If
I was untrue to you, do you? But don’t
worry, you will .have to be the first one
to be untrue, for l won’t."
Miss Gerner thinks now that there was
a bit of Irony In that letter. BuV»he wae
consoled when she got this:
"You must excuse my writing, aa I feel
shaky all over. I am getting poorly and
look thinner than I was a while ago. You
are the only person I would like anything
from. and. dear wife. I have been hurt
sometimes by the things you have said.
,At becaui *1

may not be worthy, and keep your love
strong and true. •
"YOUR OWN DEARB8T ARTHUR."
Another pathetic not* read:
"This morning things looked blurry for
a while. I was as miserable as any
creature could be. Then I got a paper
on tho train, but I could not read itf My
vision became more hazy and I could not
get my mind off from you end our parting
at the depot. But I am going to brace
up and not allow myself to be eo unstrung
over leaving you. i a
"But I will feel lonesome for you.L
don’t care who knows It. I know I should
not feel blue, for we—you and I—have so
much to look forward to that either of

I love
dearly and always have been and will
remain true to you. I wont you to bo the

that means a great deal. Sever lovingly

Another Sample Letter.
An<l who could doubt the love of tmo
who wrote letters like this:
"Say, sweetheart, do you — _
one or your handkerchiefs here? It was
in my pocket when I left Leaf River. I
was going to give It to you, but I could
not bear to part with it. I have It before

"The history of Rome an It has been

"For Instance, the romance of An

has very likely been far from the
truth. That Is the opinion I have
drawn from my researches, Cleopat

a romance of politics more than a ro
