Tho warrant wasexecuted by Deputy Uuited States Marshal Cannon, and blows up a terrible torn-pest. torn-pest. Tho brido of au hour is left a disconsolate grass widow, however cruel the fact may be, while the abandoned aban-doned wife is bound to bo avenged. Accordiug to her legend of woe, Mrs. Jac kson No. 1 was married to her perfidious per-fidious spouse in Leeds, England, some three years ago. The honeymoon had scarce begun when Jackson, she alleges, al-leges, deserted her, and two years ago came to this city. She spanned the briney ' gulf that had been placed between them, and in October Octo-ber last shu followed him to this city. Alfred, who presides at the reins of a delivery wagou, found single life a hollow hol-low mockery, and lookiug around, began be-gan to sprinkle his love at the shrine of captivating Sarah Pitts. There was an obstacle to surmount, however, and about ten days ago ho instituted proceedings pro-ceedings for divorce from his first wife, and then securing a marriage license, proceoded before Rev. Putnam, where he and pretty Sarah were married. In the meantime the news haJ reached the ear of the first wife, and she began her avenuriniz course. Referred to Com- missiuuer Greonman, she unfolded her grievances nnd complaint was lodged. All yesterday afternoon Deputy Cannon haunted the establishment at which Jackson is employed but hewasmaking the afternoon detour and not until the shades of dusk were wrapping themselves them-selves about the distant peaks did he descend on his man. Jackson was very much wrought up over his sudden dethronement, de-thronement, but repaired with the officer offi-cer to the commissioner's otliee where, after an interview his bond was fixed in the sum of $2,100. Unable to furnish this amount he was carted over the hill to tho penitentiary where he spent the night in durance and returned to the citv this morning. The affair is one of various complications complica-tions and will be productive of some racy disclosures before it has reached a finish. Jackson offers a scandalous story in defense of his action, but that will scarcely be admitted in justification justifica-tion of his act. He should have waited on the decree of divorce. |
