Dunham has not been captured. The
sheriff and his deputies are following ev-

Durham has apparently paid little atten-
ton to his wife since Mrs. Durham gave
birth to a boy some four weeks ago. and
has been perpetually wrangiing with her
ever since. A divorce suit seemed immi-
nent, and had been discussed. Dunham's
family Is well known In this county. His
brother and sister are attending the Nor
NAL school here. 1t Is said that Dunhain's =
mother was insane and was sent to the
asylum.
