On the 4th of October, Lewis DIBLING, of 721 Greenlawn Avenue, bade his family an affectionate farewell and left for Henderson, Ky., where he said he had a job as engineer on a railroad. He wrote two affectionate letters in the first two weeks of his absence, telling his wife to kiss the children for him, and stated that he expected to go to work there every day. Since then his wife has not heard from him. She became very much worried, as he never went longer than two weeks without writing home, she feared that he had been killed. Through members of the Brotherhood, of which DIBLING was a member in good standing, she has heard that he was at Charleston, Ills., last Wednesday. He was formerly an engineer on the Toledo, Kansas City & St. Louis Railway, his run from St Louis to Charleston. He boarded at Char;eston with a Mrs. MOTHERELL, who has a husband living and is not divorced, and has three grown sons. Mrs. DIBLING has heard that her husband is living with this woman. He resigned his position on the Toledo, K.C. & St L. railway in August and came home. Mrs. DIBLIND did not notice anything unusual in his actions during his visit at home. Martin DIBLING, a brother of Lewis, has heard that he made a trip through the south since he left Lima, but nothing else concerning him. Mrs. DIBLING says: We have been married sixteen years and never had a quarrel or a cross word of any kind. He was so quiet, and such a good man to his family, that he seemed to live only for his family; that's what makes the shock so awful. When he was at home he always stayed in evenings unless he had to attend a meeting of the Brotherhood. or had some very urgent business to attend to. We have 3 children- Eddie 15: Erbie 13: and Henry 10. For a while I was worried so much that I thought I would loose my senses. His parents are both living and residents of Perrsburgh, Ohio. His mother is almost prostrate with grief at her son's ungrateful actions. This house and lot was all paid for, and we had some money saved, which has helped to support the family, as he has contributed nothing since August. He has no ezcuse for leaving his family, as he had nothing to worry about. Mrs DIBLING has been compelled to take in boarders for the support of her sons as they are all going to school, and need clothes and books. She thinks there must be a woman in the affair, as her husband was always so kind and good to his family, and thought so much of his children, that nothing else could have caused him to stay away and not even write. If he came back, she would forgive him for the sake of the children; as they take it so hard, and don't understand why papa doesn't write or come home. Mrs. DIBLING states that for sixteen years of her life has been a happy one. She is almost heart-broken, and has the sympathy of the entire community, as she is loved by all in the neighborhood in which she lives.
