DESERTION IS ALLEGED
Young Woman Leaves Three Babies Motherless

Mrs. Henry Muss, who was visiting at the home of her brother-in-law, E.
Friskey, in Westfield township, died yesterday morning following an attack
of influenza. Her maiden name was Anna Hoelz. She leaves three little
children without a mother's care, the oldest three years and the youngest
only a month old.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Muss left this county last year for Gregory county, South
Dakota.

Inquiries made for the husband following the wife's death developed the fact
that his whereabouts are unknown and the supposition is that he has deserted
his family.

County Supervisor G.J. Miller is making inquiries and has taken charge of
the remains.
