IN SEARCH OF HUSBAND Woman, Much Excited, Thought Spouse Was With Another Woman in Racine. The Racine Daily Journal, August 23, 1905. Handsome, well dressed, but terribly excited and wrought up, a woman paced up and down Main street for three hours last evening. The territory covered was between the Racine House, located in the Judd block and the Wisconsin Telephone company building. Evidently she was looking for some one. Entering the Racine House she inquired of Mrs. Baumstark, the lady in charge, if there was a man named Lincoln stopping there and whether he had a woman whom he called his wife. Mrs. Baumstark assured the woman that no such persons were stopping there nor had they been in her hotel. Then the woman said she was looking after her husband, claiming that he was in the city employed as a cableman for the Wisconsin Telephone company and that she had reasons to believe he was with another woman. STOPPED AT DREXEL HOTEL. Inquiry showed that R. D. Lincoln had been employed by the Wisconsin Telephone company; that he had been here for some time and stopped at both the Belvidere and Drexel hotels. At the former house his wife was with him, but at the Drexel he was alone. Yesterday morning he paid his bill at the Drexel and departed for Green Bay, Wis. The woman chasing after him, when she learned that the man had departed for Green Bay, hurried to the Chicago & Northwestern depot and departed for Green Bay. Before going she threatened to kill someone, but as yet no tragedy has been reported from the northern city. Manager Erb of the Wisconsin Telephone Co., was called by ’phone and said that R. D. Lincoln had been employed by his company, that he had a lady with him and she was supposed to be his wife. Lincoln was a cableman and sent to different cities. Whether the woman who started after him was searching for some other man and made a mistake, is not known.

HOTEL GOSSIP Racine Daily Journal, March 9, 1910. “Hully gee, have they all gone?” quizzed the bellhop in a local hotel from his hiding place behind a radiator this morning, after he had been kept on the jump for over an hour waiting on a portion of “The Gentleman From Mississippi” show troupe. When informed that he was safe, he left his “fortress” and heaved forth a sigh of relief such as comes from the audience at the theater when the villain has been killed or disposed of. “Just think of it,” he went on “that whole bunch kept me jumping and then I only got one little ten cent piece as a tip and that came from the leading lady. I say she is all right, so is Burr McIntosh, the leading man, for he tipped me pal to a two-bit piece, but the rest of them I don’t want to see again. Solong.” The following are the Wisconsin and Chicago guests at the local hotels today: Hotel Racine—E. P. Schaefer, James Wingfield, H. D. North, A. D. Rummell, Walter Cohen, Edward Dayton, J. K.
