MUCH MARRIED.

The American papers state that there has been arrested in Cincinnati a matrimonial monster named David W. Buck. He is only thirty-five years old, and has half-a-dozen more wives than he knows what to do with. He first married Elizabeth Blame at Greenfield, Ohio, and had four children. He left that family and married Anna Kerr at Danville, Mo., and left her in a few weeks. At that time he was in the army and had to march away. Before the war was over he married another woman somewhere on the march, but was soon divorced from her, and hat forgotten even her name. He then went to Cincinnati and married a young lady of good family in that city.. He got work in Chicago at house painting, and sometimes visited his Cincinnati wife. While on one of his visits to her he met Miss Hannah Seckatz, of Lawrenceburg, and soon after married her in the regular way. He had so many wives now that they began to trouble his mind, and he finally confessed to his Ciacinnati wife what he had done in Lawrenceburg and offered to go to the police office and charge himself with bigamy. She would not hear of it, and he went to house-painting again in Chicago. But the Cincinnati and Lawrenceburg wives got together, and upon comparing notes resolved that Buck ought to be stopped.. 1 hey went tp Chicago with an officer, and had no difficulty in findins and arresting Buck. On the train he told his own story of his life. Among other things, he said he had five separate and distinct wives living in Chicago, and was very glad to get anywhere out of that city where he could be boarded and lodged. He dreaded, above all things, a family difficulty in Chicago.
