WASHBURN of Fairview, Wayne county, came to Clyde yesterday in quest of his wife, who, he alleges, left home May 2d in company with a man named Ed COONS. Mr. WASHBURN's business of selling perfumes, extracts and essences, takes him from home much of the time, and it was during his absence that the man COONS, according to the neighbors, came and stole, not only the wife, but about everything else portable in the house, hiring a man to cart the goods to Lyons. Mr. WASHBURN states that he received a letter from his wife, dated May 1st, which expressed the hope that he would soon return home, as she was so lonesome without him and missed him so. The letter was so pathetic that he cut his trip short and hastened home. When he arrived the next day after receiving the letter he found his home deserted, and quite largely denuded. By the aid of a detective he traced the guilty pair to Clyde, but at this point last trace of them again. Mr. WASHBURN is not so anxious to secure the return of his wife, but does want the property she carried away with her. THAT ABANDONED CHILD. Identification of Mother and Father — Former a Young Girl.
