If those farmers had ever gotten just one glimpse bf Mar- Frying Edith, they wouldn't have stopped at sending her $60 when she was in so much trouble. They would have sent her $600-or the whole farm. For @ number of years there has been a shortage of wives out in this western country and the advertise ment of “wanted—a husband,” has always brought a bushel or two of answers. Besides Mr. Gildersleeve of Hunt- ley, Carl B, Jensen and Fred Brain ard are named in the complaint filed in court here against the woman. Marrying Edith had a regular set form of questions and answers and also one set, definite amount of | money she asied her admirers to send her. She always had just had @ little fllness and then there was a Dill of $15 for storage for her fur- niture. Furthermore, she needed a “few little pieces of lingerie.” And then there was the railroad fare. Altogether the amount was $60- Dever more, never less. For $60 Edith would go to Huntley, or Kaia- mazoo, or Timbuctoo, or anywhere to marry the man upon whom she showered her affections.
