“William Blair, who has been working for the Stanton & Balmert wholesale house, has disappeared, and no one seems to know what has become of him.”
“He left his home on West Fifth street Saturday evening, saying he was going to purchase a suit of clothes. His wife has not seen him since and says he has deserted her and her five months old child. Mrs. Blair is a daughter of Martin Burns. She is selling her household goods and will live with her father.”
“Blair’s friends claim that his wife is unreasonably jealous of him and has accused him of talking about her, when he did nothing of the kind.”1
