JOHN TAKES “FRENCH LEAVE”

Was Recently Married H®re tQ Mrs. Martin of Fair Oaks. John Bordwell, who was married recently to Mrs. Martin at the time the couple came here from Fair Oaks and opened a restaurant, to'ok French leave Saturday when .his wife was out of town. The couple had been getting along very agreeably since embarking in business here a few weeks since and his wife is at a loss to know why he should have acted so quCerly. Mrs. Bordwell had been called to Rensselaer on account of sickness of relatives and while she was away, he went to the bank and drew most of the money which was deposited Jn Mrs. Bordwell’® name, and departed for parts unknown. The bank made good to Mrs.. Bordwell the amount he withdrew and will probably prosecute the man if he does not square the thing very egrly.—Mt. Ayr' Tribune.
