KIN STOLE HIS WIFE
H Philadelphia Park Guard Is Un
able to Find Wealthy Spouse.
Believed Relatives Spirited Woman
Away—Begins Search in Sanitar-
► - ium—Deciares She Proposed
Marriage to Him.
Phill idelphla.—Thomas S. Downey,
a Fairmount Park guard, recently
started a systematic search of all the
private sanitariums here in a quest
for the wealthy woman to whom he
has been twice married, never lived
with and who he believes has been
spirited away by her relatives.
Not only has he been twice married
to her, according to Downey, but both
times she proposed to him. The first
-^•marriage took place July 22 and the
^econd was performed two months
f later. Downey’s wife feared the first
‘-ceremony was not legal because she
- . gave her maiden name to the license
^clerk, although she was a widow.
iDowney has been a guard for many
^ars and became acquainted with
Mrs. Josephine Wolf, who took walks
in the park with her husband, a re
i tired business man. Although 50 years
I old Downey is hale and hearty and he
used to look after Mrs. Wolf and her
husband.
“It was shortly after March 12,
1911,” he says, “that Mrs. 'Wolf came
to the park alone. She sought me out
and told me her husband had died on
March 12. I took the same care of
her that I had taken when she accom
panied her husband. She came to the
.park nearly every day, and one day
she said to me:
“Tom, I need a bodyguard and you
have been good to me. Suppose w r e
go and get married.”
“I accepted the proposal,” continued
■owney, "and we went and got a mar
riage license. Mrs. Wolf gave the
name of Josephine Gigon, which was
' her maiden name, but we were mar
ried just the same.”
“Following the ceremony I walked
home with her and when we got to
the house she suggested that I had
better not come in as the neighbors
I might talk. So I went home and ev-
KILLS TO END SUFFERING
.Frenchman Says Wife, Who Was Can
• cer Victim, Implored Him to
Slay Her.
Paris. —The question whether a hus
band is justified in ending the suffer
ings of a wife afflicted with an incur
able disease has again been raised by
a case at the'village of Sannois in
the department of the Seine and Oise.
Emile Breguery, formerly a magis
trate, sixty years old, killed his wife,
five years younger. «Qhe became a
victim of paralysis and cancer and for
many days begged her husband to end
her agony. Driven well nigh mad by
the sight of his wife’s sufferings, Mr.
Breguery shot her three times in the
head. Death was instantaneous. The
husband then gave himself up to the
police.
Groom Busy; Bride Gets License.
Baltimore. —When Miss Ruth E.
Sykes applied for a license to wed
Eugen F. Wolf she explained that he
was too busy to get it and that she
; thought they could live comfortably
on his salary of? 12 per week.
NUMBER 22.
ery day I would call and take her for
a walk.
"One day several weeks after the
first ceremony she came to my bouse
fend said we would have to be remar
ried immediately, as the first marriage
wasn’t legal because she had given
her maiden name instead of that of
her first husband. I told her there
wasn’t any need of a second cere
mony, as we didn’t live together any
way. To please her I agreed to the
second ceremony.”
Downey kept the search for his wife
secret until he learned that a local at
torney had been retained by her fam
ily for the purpose of annulling the
marriage. Then he got busy, he says,
not because he wants any of his wife’s
money, but because he doesn’t pro
pose to be the "goat.”
Ow’en J. Roberts, who has been re
tained by Mrs. Downey’s family, de
clares that there will be no necessity
for annulling the marriage, as the
woman was adjudged incompetent sev
eral years ago and therefore could‘not
contract a marriage.
The relatives of Mrs. , Downey
acknowledge that she is in a sanitar
ium, but decline to tell where it is
situated. They also admit that she Is
in comfortable circumstances, having
$58,000 in cash in one local bank.
Downey declares he won’t give up
the search until he has straightened
the affair out and ascertained the rea
son for the action of Mrs. Downey’s
relatives.
BUFFALO BEING VACCINATED
Infectious Disease Which Kills Its Vic-,
tim in Every Case Alarming
Uncle Sam.
Grand Forks, N. D. —Dr. W. S. New ’
man, government veterinary inspector
from Bismarck, N. D., has gone to Yel
lowstone National Park, where he is
vaccinating 250 buffalo which belong
to the government. There are also
twenty-two head of buffalo calves in
the herd. An infectious disease, known
as hemorrhagic septicaemia, has ap
peared among the buffalo in the park
with deadly effect. The mortality of
this disease among domestic cattle
has been placed at 90 per cent., but
THEATER FOR GOTHAM YOUNG
Only Playhouse in World Devoted Ex
clusively to Children Will Be
Open Soon.
New York. —A children’s theater,
the only playhouse in the world de
voted exclusively to the entertain
ment of children, will be opened in
New York soon. The funds for the
enterprise were provided by William
K. Vanderbilt^ but the theater is ex
pected to be pxuctically self-support
ing.
The auditorium, which is placed on
the roof of the building erected by Mr.
Vanderbilt and others for their new
theater enterprise, will seat 800 chil
dren and has twelve boxes. The wall
decorations are In nursery style, and
great arched windows looking out over
Central Park give It an abundance of
pure fresh air.
Plays will be given in the afternoon
beginning at 3:30 o’clock, an hour con
venient for school children.
A partial description of the theater
was made public. The stage is low

and has the general appearance of the
stage of a toy theater in some garret.
The seats are lower than those of the
ordinary playhouse. The frame of
the proscenium is decorated with a
frieze. The base of this frieze is sup
ported with bits of animal life illus
trative of the fablfes of Aesop and La
Fontaine.
THROWN IN TREE BY TRAIN
Odd Accident to Wisconsin Autoists—
Two Are Severely Injured by
Collision.
Superior, Wls.—Chris Eimon, a
wholesale merchant of this city, and
his 11-year-old daughter, were severely
injured when their automobile was
struck by a Duluth. South Shore & At
lantic railway train near Rockmount,
ten miles east of here. The auton^o
bile was demolished. Three other
chikiren were thrown into a tree 'tope
two bf them banging by their cloth
fling until rescued half au hour later.
among the buffalo it has proved 100
per cent., not a single one attacked
escaping death.
The authorities are puzzled to know
how the disease was communicated to
the buffalo in the interior of the park,
as it is generally communicated
through food, and there has been no
way in which these animals have been
exposed that is known. The disease Is
of short duration, generally taking the
animal away within twenty-four hours
after it develops.
This disease originally came from
Egypt and Germany, first appearing a
few’ years ago in Minnesota and later
in Tennessee. That the disease which
has appeared among the buffalo of na
tional park is the same as above men
tioned has been proved beyond doubt
on government laboratory diagnosis.
Two vaccinations are necessary, • the
second being administered eight days
after the first. '
The authorities are ftiuch concerned
over the appearance of this disease
among the Buffalo herd of the'national
park and are endeavoring to ward off
any further fatalities. .
NERVES KILL IDLE BEES
Their Death During the Long Winter
Months Caused by Repression
of Their Energy.
Baltimore, Md. —It is acute nervous
prostration that kills off the busy lit
tle bee. The discovery has just been
made by bee scientists, who have long
puzzled over the problem as to why
the little workers die in such numbers
during the winter.
How the disease works on the honey
gatherers was described recently by
Prof. E .T. Phillips in a talk before the
Maryland State Beekeeper's associa
tion. After a hard summer, working
ten'hours a dhy gathering honey, the
bee goes intc winter quarters for a
vacation. All that time he has to sup
press his temperament anc( smother
his energy. Then is when the trou
bles come, according to Professor
Phillips.
Four Jailed in Jury Room.

their predicament.
