The asteinp' nf Howard N. Hattenhatur
to ! ? 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. Dun-
an about a year and a half ago. Duncin In
urn loaned It to Hattenhauer , and nil last
umnier It ornamented the Ilattenhaucr tent
it Manawa. Thin , too , le gone , and Duncan
s expecting to have to pay Baksr $1 for It ,
William Maloney of the Grand hotel bar
Iso has a pnug little bill for various things
vhlch Mr. aiid Mrs. Hattenhauer needed for
lelr physical comfort.
The1 supposition Is that they have gene to
yracuse , N. Y , , HutUnlmier having stated
cmo little- time aso that his father-in-law
m'l secured him a position In a t'hoo ' factory ,
eglnnlng December 15. Ills friends still
line to the belief that ha will cither return

lie little scraps of Indebtedness when lie

Mr. George A. Stone , national bank ex
aminer. Is stopping at the Grand. He says :
"I examined the First National bank of this
city August 13 last and discovered that
$12,500 had been found missing April 30
last , nnd that the loss had been made good
prior to the published statement of con-
d'tlon ' made to the comptroller of the cur
rency March 8 last. 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. My examination of officers
and employes will , of course , be slow and
tedious , and when completed the report will
be sent to the comptroller. I have just
finished the examination of the bank and
find it in excellent condition. "

CHEROKEE , In.Dec. . 13. ( 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. The bills mentioned are but a msr ?
Item of the whole.
HAS TWO OTHER WIVES.
W. A. 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
