0A Plltmi Mtrj.A pitiful etory of deception, desertion and crime comes from Stroms-burg, Polk county. W. H. Marshall was in towu thp last of last week and I he fiit of this in search of his wife and of one Mr. G. F. Fagg and .Mrs. Gabeil, all late residents of Slrotne-burg. It seems that Mr. Fagg tad IQ Mrs. Gsbell (who, we lesrn, claims IJ that it is no crime for her to lire with \ any man she chooses) came to Colum-bos together in a baggy Monday oflast week, and registered at the Lin* dell, under an assumed name, as manand wife, Wednesday afternoon, at about 2 o'clock Fagg -appeared at Stromsburg, doubtless by appointment with Mrs. Marshall,and broughther and her yonngchild to Columbus,arriving here in the forenoon of Thursday, Mrs. M. is described as young (nineteen) heretofore a respectable young woman, but easily influenced by designing older people. She and her husband bad lived upon the best of temps, and he cannot believe that she is impure or unfaithful, but is almost heart-broken. —The three persons stopped at the Central House, this city, without registering, Fagg and Gabeil goingthence to Schuyler, where justice overtook tham, sod finally brought them to prison at Osceola; Mrs. Marshall bought a ticket for Fort Scott, Kansfs, where she has a sister livingby the name of Jones. That a policeman helped her to a Missouri Pacific train at Omaha is the last trace yet of the missing woman and her child.Mr. Marshall is a jeweler at Stroms-barg; Fagg had kept a saloon there, and has a family at Osceola, bis wife,no t expected to live), and two cfcil-ren, whom he bus neglected and failed to support for some time; Mrs. Gabeil kept a boarding house at Stromsburg. We sympathize deeply with Mr. Marshall in his affliction.QQflOo0§
