The winter was younger ami more buxom. She had the charms of a more youthful nature and Mr. Wick ham soon found that life without her could not be considered. In one short mouth the two were arranging for an elopement. The time arrived last Monday when the two took the early moruiug train for Portland, leaving the wondering wife at home. Arriving at Portland, Mr. Wickham wrote to bis wife telling her that ho did not care for her and that lie and her sister were going north together.

Wickham,wife of the man who eloped with her sister, Eva Mel lin, stated today to a Guard reporter that the letter she received from her husband did not say that he did not love her any more. It was a doceit- ful letter saying that lie would be employed in Portland Hiid would work north into Washington. Another letter received May 7th in Eugene stated similar conditions and ended saying, “1 hope you can trust me as 1 know I can trust you.” Mrs. Wickham is in no way to blame for the outrage done her by her husband and sister. She is just as pretty and buxom as the feminine eloper and en joys the esteem of her neighbors for miles around. The acts of her sister and husband were culpable and she did not care to be longer associated with them. She has been to Portland looking for the couple.
