"HE HAD NO LEGS, but he played on a profane fiddle and so she skipped out with him. Under the heading, the InterOcean publishes a letter from G. O. C. Bond, Edgewood, Iowa, in which he states that on the 20th day of last August, Albert W. Noble, a cripple and a poor, drunken set (he walks on his knees and plays the violin and begs on the cars and on the streets and in saloons) ran away with his wife, Melissa Bond. They traveled all over Iowa and went into Illinois and lived at Durand Station. He had them arrested and tried and they were found guilty. She begged so hard that the court released her on condition that she would go home to Iowa and take care of her four children and his sentence was suspended as long as he behaved himself. They are traveling together again and Bond wants them arrested and punished."
