The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State March 23-1896 LOOKING FOR HIS WIFE. William H. BRADFIELD Would Like to Find His Spouse. It is reported that Mrs. Ida BRADFIELD, wife of William H. BRADFIELD, who was employed as a gate-tender at the South street crossing of the Lehigh Valley road up to March 1st, has left for parts unknown, taking with her a considerable sum of money. BRADFIELD, who is an elderly man, while his wife is a young woman, threw up his job on the first of the month because the railroad men had notified him that he must keep the crossing clear of snow. He thought that that was outside of his line of duty. It appears that BRADFIELD went to Buffalo recently and succeeded in obtaining work there. He sent word to his wife to pack up their goods and ship them to Buffalo and come to that city herself. On Wednesday of last week she had the goods taken to the Central freighthouse and started for Buffalo. On the same day BRADFIELD, who had decided not to remain in Buffalo, telegraphed her to that effect. On Friday BRADFIELD came to Batavia, but was unable to find any traces of his wife. Her relatives told him that she had left for Buffalo that morning. It has been said that Mrs. George SMITH of South Swan street left with Mrs. BRADFIELD, but SMITH informed a reporter for The News this morning that that was untrue. He said his wife was at home. On December 17th the BRADFIELDS' house on South street was destroyed by fire with all its contents. There was insurance of $500 on the contents and this was paid soon after the fire. At the time of his marriage a few years ago BRADFIELD deeded to his wife the one-half interest in place where he lived, the other one-half being owned by Emory BRADFIELD. A little over a week ago Mrs. BRADFIELD secured $220 due her from insurance on the house, and on Thursday she went to the Lehigh Valley's pay car and drew the $30 due her husband for his last month's wages. BRADFIELD claims that she had some other money belonging to him. It is not known where Mrs. BRADFIELD is at present. + + Marquis D. WILCOX Dead. Marquis D.

The Alamosa (Col.) Journal of the 19th inst. says: "Last Saturday at 10:30 a.m., the remains of Malcolm D. MIX were laid to rest in the Alamosa cemetery. This was in accordance with wired instructions from his wife who is at the present time on a visit to her brother, the Hon. John G. MILBURN of Buffalo, N.Y. Rector W.O. CONE officiated at the funeral, which was from the Episcopal church. Before the service the casket was opened for the citizens of Alamosa to take a last farewell of one who had for over twelve years been closely identified with them. The pall bearers were Mayor GERTELSEN, Town Trustees Van LIEW and SPRINGER, City Clerk George A. WILLIS, Editors NEWTON of the Courier and BLOOM of the Lance." Referring to Mr. MIX's sickness the Journal says: "Ill health from overwork causing brain trouble, first made its appearance in him about two years ago. He visited a number of hot springs in this vicinity, but could get no relief, but gradually grew worse. Not having health, his business suffered until last September, when he was compelled to dispose of his interest in the Journal, with the intention of going to Cuba as a war correspondent, thinking that the change might benefit him, but being taken sick in Denver, he postponed his trip to Cuba until spring. In the meantime he was attacked by pneumonia, which terminated his earthly existence." + + "Trilby" on Saturday Night. Arrangements have been completed whereby the great success, DuMAURIER's famous play, "Trilby," with all its magnificent scenery, costumes, music and stage garniture, together with A.M. PALMER's great dramatic company, which made it so popular in New York and Boston, will visit the Opera House next Saturday evening under the management of W.A. BRADY. This will be the only visit here of "Trilby," as the company has engagements to play large western cities immediately at the conclusion of its eastern tour. "'Trilby' is a strange, weird, powerful, intensely interesting play," says an exchange, "admirably acted at every point, beautifully staged, and received with the greatest possible enthusiasm more demonstrative at the end of a play, and never was it watched with more interest in the development of a dramatic story. "If 'Trilby' had never been published, but DuMAURIER had given to Paul POTTER a plot to work out, the play would attain a wonderful success. As it is, it will be surprising indeed if 'Trilby' does not make a record which is remarkable in the annals of the American stage. The acting was a source of genuine pleasure. There was not a weak spot in the entire cast." Seats will go on sale on Wednesday at Haltz & Dellinger's. + + Too Much... cannot be said in praise of a good thing, and especially so, if it is a medicine.
