Mrs. M. J. Wheeler, the eloping widow of Prestonville made her
appearance at that place Thursday night. Yesterday morning several of
the citizens called the authorities seeking to have her arrested for
some of the various crimes which suspicion says she has committed. No
one, however, being able to make the necessary affidavit, it was not
possible to rid the town of her in that way. A cowhiding was at first
contemplated, but that plan was abandoned. The widow, hearing of the
impending danger, sent over and hired a buggy with a view to fleeing to
Madison. Before it arrived she started on foot but the boys after with
with eggs. The buggy coming on, she jumped in and made her escape.
