Mrs. Cannon's aged mother, Mrs. ].

TO n.y. hsuband to protect her daugh-
ter. | am positive he is acting In
spirit OF chivalry | am anxious about
Dr.. Tallman, because he has been in
wretched health for two months. He
has barely recovered from severe
attack of fever. and may not be thor
oughly responsible. He would not be
absent from his business just now I'M
less for urgent reasons, for some i'm
portant accounts are due. He took no
clothes or baggage of any kind with
him and only his surgical instruments
for ordinary use.
When DR.. Tallman went away from
the Great Northern hotel he told his
porter he had two urgent missions to
attend to and might not be back for
day or two. He directed the porter
to have his assistant house physicians,
Drs. Delprat and Baer, take charge of
his practice while he was away.
Three days elapsed before Mrs Tall
man became alarmed and notified the
police Detectives Amestein and
Magnus were detailed on the case, but
could only learn that the doctor had
been at the house of Mrs. Cannon's
sister, Mrs. R. G. Miller, 1912 Jack
son avenue during the week. The
woman had taken refuge there from
her purSuers. Wednesday night the
fiat was deserted and the entire party
left the city. The officers considered
the affair more intricate than an elope-
ment, but were at sea for theories
Inquiries failed to further locate any
of the missing ones. kilograms were
sent to Wisconsin, where the doctor is
widely known, and to various Illinois
towns, without result. DR.. Tallman's
friends are deeply concerned and his
wife is nearly distracted.
Mrs. Teresa Dean Tallman, wife of
the missing doctor, is nearly proStrat-
ed over her husbands disappearance
She was so apprehensive when she
called at police headquarters that DR..
Tallman had suffered some injury that
the police were almost ready to accept
the theory that the doctor was not in
the land of the living. Mrs. Tall
man pleaded with the police to keep
the fact of her husbands disappear
ance from the press. She made a final
plea for an extension of time, so that
If her fears were not realized a scan
dial would be averted.
DR.. Tallman was born in Tully,
Onondago county, N. Y, in 1853, and
comes of an old New England family
of Holland Dutch descent. His
mother is of the we'll known family
of Pierrepont Manor, n. Y. He re-
ceived his early education in the
school towns, Cazenovia and Court
land, n. y, and entered the New
York Polytechnic when II years of age.
He graduated from the Bellevue Hos
pital Medical college in 1881 and went
to London, Paris and Berlin, whore he
studied in the largest hospitals there.
On his return to America he was
equipped for immediate entrance into
active practice, and for eight years
served as surgeon for the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad. During
this period he had a very large private
practice throughout Wisconsin, though
he made is headquarters at the Ire
mont house OF this city, where he soon
found himself in possession of very
lucrative practice. In 1891 he moved
to the Great Northern hotel where
he has been house physician ever
since. His hotel practice has been so
large that he was forced to give up an
outside office. In society DR.. Tallman
has always been a favorite. He mar

time in newspaper work here and who

ters and papers. DR.. 1allmau is an
honorary member of the American
Medical association, and is a mem Der

ton.
