domestic infeliciiy due to a silly wife'e
desire for other male company than her

domicile closed against him and his wife
and Newbower N possession. He made
such n hostile demonstration that both

his personal and real property at a sacri-
fee and skipped. Mrs. Kelthof secured
the possession Of her two youthful sons
the same day and left. The guilty pair
has been located today at Minneapolis,
where 1t is said they are living as man
and wife, and an officer has been dis
patched to secure their arrest. Mr.. Belt
hoff does not desire his erring wife's ar.
rest, but will insist upon the retun of the
children.
