DKSEIITO WOMAN SENT TO
KKLATIVES IN KANSAS CITY.
Mrs. Homer Munday, who was de
serted by her husband ton days ngo,
was sent to relatlvoa in Kansas City
Wednesday by charitable people who
donated her carfaro and 1 raveling ox
ponses. Mrs. Munday, and her eight
months old child arrived hi North
l'latto Tuesay evening of last week
from Brady and expocted to And her
husband awaiting hur when sho ar
rived. Ho did not appear, and prac
tically without a cent in lflSr- pocket
made the depot her abiding placo for
forty-eight hours. Her stay at the
depot awakened a suspicion with the
police, and to them she told her story.
Policeman Thayor took the woman
and child to his homo where they
were cared for until provided with
transportation to Kansas City.
According to tho story told the po
lico, Homor Munday is an alias for
her husband whoso real name Is Dil
llon Dunbar. Thoy were married in
Kansas City March 1st, 1919. Dunbar
was interested in a garage at Kansas
City, was drafted and spent a year or
so in service. Upon his discharge ho
returned to Kansas City and thoy
were married on tho above date. Soon
after their marriage Dunbar and sev
eral others went to Tulsa, Okl., where
-thoy purchased a car, had it Insured
against theft, one of tho party stole
the car, and the other parties collect
ed tho Insurance, this game hoing
played several times until it got too
hot for tho gang and Dunbar went to
Salt Lake, thence to Denver and from
there to Sterling, Colo., whore he stole
a Dodge sedan. His wife and child
had joined him in Denver, and from
Sterling they started east in the sedan.
Some mishap occurred to the car
when they reached Brady, and being
almost without money, Dunbar said
he would hop a freight for North
Platte and that she should follow on
the local. She saw her husband get
on a train, and that was the last she
had seen of him. Sho came to North
Platte on the local expecting to meet
"him hero.
Tho car deserted by Dunbar is still
at Brady and officers arc attempting
to locate its owner.
