WILL SEE REPORTER WHEN LEAVING TOWN

Absence of Mrs. E. M. Thomas Explained'and She is Again With Husband in Rensselaer. The rather sensational article about the disappearance of Mrs. E. M. Thomas caused considerable wonderment Tuesday, but it seems that everything has come out all right and that the excitement was more the cause of a misunderstanding* than anything else. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas returned home this Wednesday morning on the 4:44 train, both perfectly happy aside from the unpleasant notoriety occasioned by the report that she had left with the intention of not returning to her home. Mr. Thomas has been working with Snyder Bros., the carpenters, at Mt. Ayr, and was home over Sunday, returning to Mt. Ayr Monday morning. Mrs. Thomas thought that he would not return -home until Saturday and decided to go to Indianapolis to see Mrs. Cook, Who formerly ran the Rensselaer House. She also intended to visit her farm, near Sheridan, where she is having an addition built to the barm She took a notion rather suddenly and in her haste to get away .did not make the note which she left behind very explanatory. As a matter of fact she did not expect that Larsh would get back home to see it at all. Larsh came home to the election and found the note, Which stated that Mrs. Thomas had gone away but did not state where she had gone. She had been talking about a visit to Crawfordsville and Larsh thought she had gone there, but Don Beam, assistant at tire depot, recalled that she had checked her suitcase to Indianapolis and Larsh went there and found her at the home of Mrs. Cook, who has a rooming house at the corner southeast of the postoffice. She was surprised to find Mr. Thomas there so soon after she arrived and also surprised to find that he was alarmed about her disappearance and the trip to Sheridan was abandoned and they returned home together as above stated: ‘ Mrs. Thomas vows that she will not again leave Rensselaer without informing The Republican reporter where she is going. It seems, however, that there has bee some effort on the part of neighbors to create some jealousies between Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and it is hoped they refrain from so doing in the future.
