She is at present living with a family on street off Prospect exact location of which is withheld for obvious reasons. As far as la known Snow la in Illinois, where he hag a number of relatives.

CRUSHED UNDER A FALLING TREE Stocking Death of a Seven Mile Man No Sooner Rescued Thin She Ran Away to Cleveland Where She Was Taken Into Adventures of an Erstwhile Hamilton flald. Marion Snow, the wife of a wealthy farmer of Vaun, who has been mysteriously missing from her home for nearly two weeks, was located in this city yesterday by Dectective Seligsohn of the Metropolitan Detective agency, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Pretty of face and figure is Marion Snow, and a more, romantic person it would be bard to find. The story of her life, or at least the past few months of it, would make good material for a novel.

Marion has large brown eyes that flash roguishly, and bright, pleasant speech that is very attractive. When quite young she attended school at Cincinnati, Franklin and Hamilton and received a very good education. When but sixteen years of age she was married. Her husband was possessed of considerable money and ed a pretty little house thsy rent- i Vaun, small station on the valley road between Boston and Becksville. The pretty little house was perched high up on top of a great hill, and stretching away in every direction was a gently sloping, well kept lawn.

It was a veritable little dovecote and they called it "The Outlook." Marion had everything that heart could wish or desiro and she and her husband lived happily together. Three pretty babies were born to them and a year and a hilf ago the homo was brightened by the advent of twin boys. In a peaceful, contented way the happy couple dwelt together. When Snow was called to the city his wife usually accompanied him or else stood on the highest point of tho hill and waved her hand till the train was far out of sight down the road. A few weeks ago jealousy crept into the peaceful horns and caused dissensions and discord.

One day they adjusted their differences and promised tbat all would go on before. The next morning Snow started for tho city. Marion, email, couiiding and winning, walked down through the yard with him, smiling up into his face. Doubt etiil burned strongly within her and as they stopped at the little winding path that led down to the station she caught her husband's hands in hers and said: "You will come back, won't you? Yon must not leave me and tho babies. He laughed at hor fears, and hissing her walked leisurely toward tho depot.

Sho stoood and watched him as he climbed aboard the train. Ho stood on the roar platform and waved his hand back at her. Tbat was the last time Marion Snow saw her husband, That night she sat up and waited for him, but he did not come. Tho next day and the next she waited as before but he did not 'return. The girl, for she is but 22 years old, was in despair.

Several days after her husband left his relatives appeared at OLD MIAMI'S TRUSTEES Make lor the 751(1 Anniversary Celebration.

Wilson Loop, a prominent citizen of Seven Mile met death in awful form near Camden yesterday afternoon. Mr. Loop has a farm ia Preble county, which he visited yesterday. Several workmen were engaged in felling a tree on an adjoining farm, and he approached them to secure their services Nearly Seventeen Thousand Boys and Girls.

SEWING FOR SOLDIERS Patriotic Women Preparing to Send a Large Box of Clothing. The local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution hud an all- day sewing in the Rathbone building Riley street yesterday. Between forty and fifty women were pre.ient and helped in the good work of making garments for the soldiers and muses at tho front. The garments are not all finished as yet, many the Indies being elill engaged upon them at their homes. Among the work done there will be a dozen aprons for Miss Crist, and large number of pajamas, for the soldier buys.

A largo box of soup was received from Dun Charles and considerable money from other sources The box of clothing will probably be packed tho first of next week. Its destination is yet a matter of uncertainty, but tho Washington authorities will see that it goes whore'it will do the most good. the honee. They told the young wife that the husband had decided to take the children from her and place them where they would be taken care of. She was surprised and alarmed, and begged them not to take her babies from her.

They insisted, and', as Marion said yesterday, she was driven temporarily insane. Breaking loose from the restraining hands she flung herself into a well. It was narrow and deep and filled with water to within twelve feet of the top. Sho wanted to drown, and made no effort to save herself. Efforts were at once made to save her, and as the well was too narrow to permit of another person descending to her assistance, a rope was dropped to her.

This she refused to grasp, but tried to sink herself below the level of the water. A rake was fastened lo a long pole, and with this she was kept above water. After two hours in the water she consented to be saved and was drawn to the surface. The children were taken away, the well was closed, and she was left alone in the quiet and deserted house. Tho next day, which was July 2, she locked the doors behind her, and, walking to Independence, boarded a train.

There all trace of her ended. Whore she went or what had become of her no one seemed able to learn. Someone, whom it is Detective Seligsohn rofimed lo state, engaged hitn to locate the young wife.She had provided herself with glasses and taken every towns to effectually disguise herself. Jjy some means or other, which detectives so jealously guard, Soligsohn finally located tho young woman. As she sat talking with him yesterday she cried bitterly.

She said she hiid lost a gcod pretty children and a husband whom she still loves. Sho said would to back to their home and do anything asked of her if she was only given her babies. The twins are being cared for at Independence by two widows, and the other three children, Detective Soligsohn learned, are at the ProtMinnt Orphan ngylnni.

Yesterday morning's session of the Beta Theta Pi convention opened at the Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, with the addition of fifty new arrivals. Reports were submitted by standing committees, among them the report of the committee for the selection of a standard and uniform badge. No definite action was taken, the matter being left open to be taken up later. The report of tho general treasurer was approved by the finance committee and adopted by the convention. This included an appropriation for the making of a card catalogue to classify the entire membership of the fraternity, whicli exceeds 10,000.

It having been proposed to erect a suitable memorial to the founder of the fraternity, John Reily Knox, at Oxford, tho birthplace of the fraternity, several handsome designs were submitted. The memorial is to cost $1,000. THINK COST TOO HIGH Hamilton County Commissioners not Ready to Bridge the Miami. For several years the farmers around New Baltimore have been clamoring for a new bridge over the Big Miami river at that point. The river is very wide, and the cost of the bridge would run up into the thousands.

Solicitor Rendigs, in an opinion, said that the commissioners were not compelled to build a bridge, but could use their own discretion. Engineer Krug was asked to prepare an estimate, whicli he furnished the commissioners yesterday. He says the bridge would cost $100,000. Commissioner Korb voted to accept tho estimate, uut Messrs. Breeu nnd Bader said they were not ready to act on the matter, and voted blank.

Tho matter went over for several for similar work on his own premises. Tho men did not observe him, as the tree stood in a clump of undergrowth, and the falling tree struck him fairly, crushing his head and mangling his body frightfully. His ribs were torn from the spine and one of his limbs broken so that the bone protruded from the flesh. The accident occurred at 3 p. but was not discovered until 9 o'clock.

Mr. Loop did not return and friends who knew of his mission sought the workmen and inquired whether they had seen him. Upon being informed that they had not. the party went to the scene, and at mangled body, near by. The coroner of Preble county was notified and viewed the body after which it was removed to the home.

Mr. Loop was about 05 years of age and was a well known citizen. A wife and one son, Charles, recently a clerk in the Kcebs' Clothing house, in this city, survive him. A sister, Mrs. James Kmily, residing on Snventh street, Hamilton, was notified of the sad accident this afternoon.

Hall. In exactly four minutes Adjutant Reeder reported to the commanding officer that the regiment was formed. The promptness of the response to tho alarm was warmly coin mended by Captain McDonald, of General Hall's stall, who was present, representing the general.

A new grievance has been found against the obsolete Springfield rifles. Captain Leonard, of the Third Ohio regiment, has found on examination that many of the so-called new pieces issued to recruits are defective in mechanism. The numbers on them indicate also that instead of being new they are 10 to 20 years old. It is known that there are enough Krag-Jorgenson rifles here to arm all the troops in Tampa, but that only 200,000 rounds of ammunition is on hand. Funeral of the Late Frank X.

Captain J.

D. Parker, one oi the directors, returned from a visit to tho plant yesterday and his report of the amount of work being turned out was a surprise to his fellow manufacturers. At the Hamilton plant work is going on night and day, the full twenty-four hours. One thousand men are now employed, and the company has advertised for 100 more. The work on gnu carri- ges and mortars for the government constitutes a large part of the present work.

A largo amount of these are now about ready for shipment.
