PUNISHED FOR MAKING CUPID’S ARROW MISS

Wins Woman on Her Way to Wed and Commits Bigamy. “ Honolulu, July 27.—R. M. Baker of Chicago, who was arrested here on a charge of bigamy, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years’ hard labor. Baker came here from San Francisco. On board the steamer he met Mrs. Eva B. Wallace, who was en route to the islands to marry a member of a well known Honolulu firm. So ardent was Baker’s love making that the widow forgot her waiting fiance. The pair were married immediately upon arriving in Honolulu. Baker is said to have a wife and child living in Chicago.
