The wife of Fred Hartman left home about two weeks ago, stating that she was going to Remington to visit her mother, Mrs. Littlefield. She did not go to Remington, it seems, but went as far as Reynolds where she took the next train north. Her husband traced her back as far as Monon, where he lost all track of her. She and her husband had had a little domestic misunderstanding, it is said, and her action in leaving was premeditated, as she took considerable clothing with her. Her whereabouts are unknown at this writing.

Regarding the leaving of Rev. Hall, The Democrat is informed by the president of the church board that the anti-saloon fight had nothing whatever to do with his leaving, and that the church wants and expect its pastor to take an active part in such movements. Kev. Hairs year is up January 1, 1904, and he will continue to preach here until that time. Other matters entirely, this gentleman says, are the cause of his leaving. The general rnmors that the saloon fight had something to do with the matter arose over the fact being made public just at this time that he would not remain another year.
