QUIrE A SENSATIONAL few days since
there arrived, by the evening train, a young
woman dressed in deep mourning, heavily
yelled, who putting up at the Campbell House
desired at once to see lawyer.
Mr.. Gage was soon called in, and, aftera
brief consultation, the lady in question was
booked among the arrivals at the hotel as Mrs.
Smith, of Detroit. Nothing unusual seemed
to occur until the following day when the at
torney seemed to evince lively interest in q
little boy in town abont ten years OF age,
known as the "peanut boy" who was brought
claimed that his wife was dead, and since his
arrival in town had stopped at the Boardman
River House, working occasionally at his trade
as a carpenter. About five o'clock the Dep
uty Sheriff and the Attorney called for the
lady at the hotel, and together went down to
the house of Mr.. Anderson where the boy was
found TO be living, but to their astonishment
they found that the father and evidently be-
come suspicious that something was In the
wind, for the boy had not only been enticed
to the hotel but had been sent for by Mr.. And
erson's people in order to do his chores, and
not permitted to return.
The Deputy Sheriff, however, at this junct-
ure saw the father taking his boy from the
back door of the hotel to barn near by
where he was, in lively manner, getting
horse and cutter ready, As he said to take the
boy "out for ride"
The Sheriff was not long in taking the boy
in his possession, and soon had him under the
control of his mother.
The little boy; surprised at being found in
the hands of the Sheriff and alarmed by the
demands of his faith er for an explanation and
the loud cries Of his mother, whom he had
learned to regard as dead, was greatly fright
ened caused no little excitement Having
obtained the possession of the boy the parties
mother and her child took her room and re
fused the father admittance At his request
that they might save scene on the street,
and upon his demand for an explanation, her
Attorney quietly showed him a certified copy
ofa decree from the Circuit Court for the coun-
| ty of Sanilac, granting her a divorce and CIV
ing her the custody of her children. Alter
this explanation he proceeded to the Office Of
| his Attorney, and for a time it looked as
though legal fight was imminent; but by lit
tie counsel he quietly retired. The mother and
her boy left on the following morning without
any molcstation.
