| Show I DR RUSSELL EXPLAINS Hi Fortune A Sure IiiiimgMrs SmittilVns Williii And Barkis Was Too In consequence of an article in the DEMOCRAT on the 21st instant alluding to Doctor Russells conquests since he became be-came heir to 480000 from the estate of a deceased brother considerable comment has been made which has induced the Doctor to call at the DEMOCRAT office to make a few denials and to affirm the facts in the account sis given to the public pub-lic The Doctor says it is true that he is the only inheritor of the vast fortune for which he has cords of documents personal per-sonal and public to prove his claim asset as-set forth He also states that he is at present at the head of one of the Smith families where he has shown himself a friend indeed in time of need I is understood that Mrs Smith the seedsmans young wife has had Smith before the Bishops court in the Sixteenth Six-teenth ward to answer to charges not becoming be-coming a devoted husband and natural protector and comforter Accusations were also made by Mr Smith against the doctor of which not the slightest evidence evi-dence of truth was presented before the Bishops high court and the decision was that Mr Smith should give his wife a bill of divorce the house she occupies I and onehalf of the lot Mrs Smith I m wishes it to be stamped on the mind of everybody that neither Mr Smith who claims to he a husband nor Dr Russell who is and has been a very true and kind friend to her family or any one else rules the roost of her domicile if she knows it With respect to the Doctor stepping into Smiths domestic shoes he pleads guilty i to do that which rightly belongs to him For several months he has seen that the family was supplied with everything every-thing and anything they required for comfort and furthermore the friends who kindly supplied all orders will be paid every cent due them a soon as the suretocome fortune arrives I seems that Dr Russell means well but objected t the manner Smith conducted con-ducted affairs in the family which were t the dissatisfaction of Mrs Smith who denoir ced her husband Smith and accepted ac-cepted of the courtesies of the Doctor Such rivalship between old lovers should be encouraged as a stimulus to the young fraternity who lack the confidence to do what a bit of nerve will accomplish The Doctor is best man today and no one is kicking |
