At the time, however, in her child way, Miss Christian was engaged to another man in this city. Leh- mann began paying her attentions and made such headway that the engagement was soon broken, and the date of her wedding to n announced This happened some four montha aKo. Immediately following the an- nouncement of her engagement to Letmann, her former suitor, whose name is sald to be Burns, a wealthy business man of this city, began sending to her threatening letters and calling her r the phone con- tinually, telling her that she should not marry Lehmann and that she had r postpone the date for the wedding.

Iu the last letter Miss Christian received from Lehmann, which was written shortly after his return from a visit to her here last Priday evening, he told her of meeting a stranger on the boat, who was very solicitous for his welfare, and who advised iim net to get married. This, he sald, he passed aside with a laugh, but made a date with the stranger to go to lunch Saturday Saturday morning he left his room in the Areade hotel, Tacoma, to go to his office, aud since that time he has not been seen or heard from. His office has been locked, his rooms vacant, and apartments which he had taken to bring bis bride into last night have been un- occupied The boat upon which he should have arrive yesterday morning was met by his expectant bride, who when informed by William of Land, her fiance's former roommate, that Lehmann had disappeared, fainted in his arms, and that time she has enjoyed ely a lucid moment All last night she was unable to sleep and was so hysterical that she was under constant care lest she should do herself harm.
