H out of town Thursday night without pitting his numerous creditors , ns detailed in The Bee , o , uvd a great amount ot talk on the streets and in the resorts yesterday. The comm nt wjg in nouis ; diminished when I' was learned , rnrly In the day , that he actually had outwitted the officer who was lying In wait for him , and skipped out with his bag and baggage. The crcd'tors were left to paw the air End tear their hair , r.n 1 that wcs n ? mnr ns they came to get- tins uatlifnciloii. Constable Albert ! , with his pccketu full of executions nnd writs of attachments , waited nround tha Grand hotel until after 1 o'clock for u Ugn of the departure. Then ho be came tired and went home , confident Unit If he get up at C o'clock hi > would find the four ttunks with nil thMr gowns from P-ireo Bl'lt in the Hattenhnucr room. Shortly after he. went homo Hnttenhaucr came down , found the const clear , nnd engaged ono of Wellmin'k wagons to tnko the baggage ncross the river to Omaha Us already owed Wcllmnn more thnn $100 , n part of the bill being for the carriages used ono night last fall , when Mr. nnd Mro. Hnttenhauer gave n box party at Boyd's theatsr In Omnha , nnd a banquet afterward. The night man was entirely Innocent of nny knowledge Of that fact , and agreed to take thp trunks ncross for $2.50. He did tht Job , but nftor ho had lodged the stuff at stho union depot In Omnha Ilnttenhnucr refusal to pay him more than $1.0. It seemed to bo $1.50 or nothing , nnd the expressman took the $1.50. Mr. nnd Mrs. Hafenhauer bearded n motor train nt fi o'clock yesterday morning nnd went to Omaha , where they took the Northwestern twin for Chicago. Their goods could have bJcn attached as they went through , but Albertl lost thn chanrj of his 1'fe nnd let them get awny. The people who have cued out writs of attachments had nil their tiouble for noth ing , and It now looks ns though John Benc .t Co. nre the only ones who have much of n chance to leallza anything. Tbsy hnve attached n lot of chlnaware , including ssven valuable vases , given to Mr. mid MM. Hnt- tenlmuer nt their marriage last fall. About two weeks ngo a lot ot this expensive ware was sent 'to Mullin's china store lo b ; packed up. Walter Sllllman. who rep resented J. K. Sweeny , the Clinton cigar dealer , found out about It , and slapped a writ of attachment on the china. It was released n day or two ngo on the ground that It was Mrs. Hattenhauer's property , and could not bs hold for cigar bills. Yesterday morning , after It wns found that Hatten- hnuer and wife had left between two days , John Beno & Co. . who hold a claim of $30 , attached the goods In Vlen's court and will try to hold them on the ground that the dry gocds was bought of them by Mrs. Hat- tenhauer. HE SOARED FOR A TIME. Hattenlmuer comes of a Council Bluffs fam ily which Is well known and highly respscted. Up to u little over a year ago he was cm- ployed In a local bank and reclv d a salary of $10 per month. H ? fell In love with Miss Julia Rupert of Chicago , n young lady who was said to have a barrel of money. Hat tenlmuer went to Chicago nnd they were mar ried. For several months they put up nt n swell hotel In the Windy City , but finally re turned to Council Bluffs last spring and took up th Ir quarters at the Grand hotel , the $40 bank clerk engaging a $120-i-month room with all the ease and nonchalance of a man with a bran new Hgacy. From the time of their arrival here they were the observed of all otsetv rs. Almcst every evening list tum- mer they were at Manawa , where Mrs. Hat- Unhnuer displayed the most gorgeous of gowrf , a different one each night , so far es possible. The same principle was followed out at the theater , where It was their custom lo saunter in about the middle of the first or ssccnd net. The loss of a $1OOP diamond by Mrs. Hat- Unhauer on her way home ( ram th ! Crelghton theater In Omaha Is still fresh In the minds of the readers of The Bee. The Jewel was fcund by a laboring man In Omaha , who had l\t rd that the Hattenlmuers had money to tmrn , and concluded that he might as well assist at the cremation. The reward of ? 100 which Hattenhau r offe'ed wcs not en.ush for him. and ho demanded $200. His demand led to his arrcet. After spsndlnfi a night In Jail he was willing to let Hattenhauer have the diamond without nny reward at all. As a j'.cce ' of high class advertising this diamond Episode wns highly successful. Shortly after his arrival here Hattenhauer jought the Grand hotel cigar stand , paying fl.700 for a business which might have bcn .verth one-third of that sum. At that tlmo t Is claimed the stand was making a profit of $160 a month or more , but Hattenhauer was oo busy with other things to put In any tlms it the stand. The consequence wns that In a few thort mont'is ' the stand wai doing tbout > 35 n month trad ? , nnd then Hatlenhauer offered to sell for $ GOO. It began to be sus pect el that the barrel of money before re- erred to was partly an affa'r of the Imaglna- lon , and Hattenhauer's business became In- volv d. After several weeks of pressing en he part of the creditors , Mrs. Hatienhauer's stepfather , who Is well off , came here from Chicago and'pald up his bills , taking a chattel nortgago en tha cigar stand , stock and flx- urcs. He gave nolle ? then that It would b ? h : . last fine he would put his son-in-law on ils feet. He stuck to his word. SOME WHO WERE STUCK. Among the claims held Is ono by George S. Wright for $21 attorney feesA couple of months ago , when the creditors began to be mui'ually persistent , an attorney called at ho cigar stand with a bill and threatened to ttach unless paym n- was m do ImmullaU y. lattenhaucr tot away and wont to Wright's ofilccto tell him of the plight In wau In. Vrlght advised him to turn his property over a his wife to secure a claim which she was upposcd to have , and even went so far as to ulvlso him to turn his watch over to her , ccause that would not b3 exempt under the "nte law. When he presented his bill for 24 Hattenhauer declined to pay. A few days go Wright had put Into lila hands a claimer or $ G1 from another party , and has been I'liicntlng ever since that hs tied Hattcn- laucr's property up so tightly. A W. Askwlth also holds a note for $300 Igned by Mrs. Hattenhauer to sscure the layment of dry goods bought from a Chicago irm. irm.T. Wright & Co. , cigar dealers nf Si , Louis , lave a claim cf $61 , and Fred Iloppler , pro prietor of the Grand Hotel pharmacy , has a bflt cf $13. W , F. Baker loaned a $4 ( lag to B. M.

Mr. Sanford requested the comptroller to send nn examiner for the purpose of ascertaining what had become of the missing money by examining ail of the officers and employes of the bank. That Is the reason of my presence hero at this time. The books show that the bank has no borrowed money either In bills payable , rediscounts or money borrowed on certifi cates of deposit.

( Sp.'Clal. ) About a week ngo nn Item nppcnrcd In The Heo from Cherokee , slating that \V. A. Thompson , a resident of this place , had left homo ostensibly to go to Klmball , S. D. near which place he. claimed to own a farm and ns no word had besn received from bin later than November 11 , It was supposed that he had deserted his wife , whom he had vowed to cherleh and protect , loss than two months before , Some tlmo during last March W. A. Thompson appeared nt Storm Lake. He has n manly bearing , a striking nppsnranco am ; exceedingly pmooth tongue , and hs goon worked Into the gocd graces of the citizens , some of whom arc now sorry that they have seen nnd known him , In amount ranging from $1 to $2u. It wns nt Storm Lake that ho met nnd wooed Mrs. Mnry Marston , a modest r.nd highly icspccted widow of 30 summers. She was a member of the Chris tian church. In good standing , and qulto pop ular. Thompson became a regular attendant of the Christian church , and during the camp meetings that were held nt the "Lalo" : last summer he was converted , nnd with hot tears of repentance coursing down his wrinkled checks ho knelt nt the mercy seat and asked to be received Into the church. He was tendered the right hand of fellow ship , and soon became nn active member. None could talk louder or pray longer , nnd Thompson soon became a prominent figure and the good people rejoiced at their for tune In securing so ardent nnd sincere a worker. In the meantime Thompson was [ ilaylng two otlur hands , one to win the heart and hand of the prepossessing widow , and the other to borrow as much money as possible from his newly made friends , nnd if repor's are. true , ho came out winner in both games. On the 24th of Scptembsr he shook Storm Lake real estate from his feet nnd sought now fields at Cherokee. The following day the widow arrived , nnd that evening , Sep- iembsr 25 , she and Thompson were married ; n the parlors of the Cherokee house , where a $ C bonrd bill remains unpaid. The min ister who performed the ceremony received 1 for his services , with the promise of $ t more as soon as the draft came , which was ; hen overdue , and which Is still coming , so 'ar as the minister knows. HIS BUSINESS VENTURES. Thompson nt once opened a real estnto offlce , occupying rooms with Z. A. Well- nan In the First National bank building , the rent of which ho did not pay. Under the pretext that ho owned , property at Sioux rtaplds , in South Dakota , and nt Hurtlngton , Neb. , he succeeded In contracting numerous illls with the local -merchants , nil of which i.ivo since been checked ns N. G. , nnd figured n wlth ; ths annual -allowance for charitable mrposcs. He worked nn underhanded scheme to gain possession of the first lions ; is lived in at this place by securing the toy ostensibly to look at the property with a view of purchasing It , nnd measuring the oems for carpet , providing he liked the > lace. He was undoubtedly highly pleased vlth the property , for he moved In on first sight , and did notutjop to measura rooms or carpet until ho was comfcnnbly located. The owner of the property did not know Thompson had taken possession for days after , and wondered why he did not return he key. Upon bslng apprised of the fact hat be had a tenant , the landlord nt ones served notice on Thompson to vacate. Ths smoo'h deceiver at once negotiated with an other real 'estate man , and boUfeht n r s- dcnc ; on the Installment plan , but fatlsd even to make the first payment before he ook his sudden departure , ami the wife he deserted Is now compelled to take In washing nnd do other hard work In order to pay $10 a month house ronti and keep the wolf from the door. > Mrs. Tiibmpson is receiving letters by the score from. different fielJs In which her oily mouthed husband op3rated prior to htr ac quaintance with hm ! , all of which are ad dressed to him , and are either duns for board bills or borrowed money , and It Is sur prising to know how successfully he has carried out nil of his swindling schemes. At the Central house at Storm Laic ? Is a board bill of $21.50 against him. At Hnrtington , Neb. , Is another amounting to ? 12. The land lord of the Ch-'rokse house at this place woul.l llko to have him remit about $ C. v/lille the minister who tied the nuptial knot would bo very thankful for the $4 due him for clerical serv'c5s.

Thompson Is at the present time a much wanted man , not en account of his board bills or delinquent marriage fees , but bcaushe Is twice or thrice a married man. It is now claimed that sonic time ago he wooed nnd wedded a charming widow at Slb- ky , la. , Mrs.V. . A. Scott , deserting her shortly after. Rumor has It that he wns married once before and that his first wife , whose wher'abouts are- not known , ID still alive nnd hns not been divorced from Thomp son. If such la the case , the Sibley woman is Mrs. T. No. 2 and the Cherokco woman No. 3. Thompson Is also badly wanted at Sioux Rapids , and If information from that place can b ? relied upon , ho will be Indicted at the next session of the grand Jury for an Illegal trarsactlon in n property deal , through falsj pretenses and misrepresentations. He also worked the borrowing "graft" to quite an ex tent at that place. The day before leaving Cherokee- Thompson borrowed what money he could of bis nc- qualntanc s , telling them that he had some commission money on a lanJ deal coming In a few days , nnd ho would repay them when It came. That night he kissed his wlfo goodby told her to be good to herself while he was gene and that he > would bo back In a few days. That was th : last seen ot him al Cherokee , and since November 15 , at which tlmo ho left Hartlngton , Neb. , as suddenly as lie left here , his wlicr abouts liavo been un known , When asked by the reporter for her opinion with regard to marriage being a failure , Mrs , Thnnpson No. 3 said : "I most emphatically think It is , and I shnll not venture It again. My other husband was a drunkard and this one Iti a dvll , so you must know my life has been miserable. " When asked If she would harbor Thompson should he return to her she replied In a very emphatic manner , thil she "would not let hjnj cnt r the house ; that hereafter she would pnlrile her own canoa , an , ] . If he dared comer near she would Ecratch " ' " " ' his eyes out. ( Srnln lluj'crx Yyo'voKtr I , Dilation. WEI1STER CITY , ) a. .
