DR.. Tallman Cuts Another caper.

OF NOV. 9th, IT appears that Dr. w. H..
Tallman is again involved in an
escapade. The report says:
DR.. Tallman has been missing from
his apartments in the Great Northern
hotel since week ago yesterday.
Mrs. Teresa Dean Tallman, wife of
the missing doctor, is nearly pros
trated over her husbands disappear
ance. kilograms have been sent to
many points in Wisconsin where it
was thought that DR.. Taliman might
have gone, but nothing was learned.
Mrs. Tallman pleaded with the police
to keep the fact of her husbands
disappearance from the press.
"There is a woman in the case"
said police official very reluctantly,
when asked about DR.. Tallman's dis
appearance. "It has been reported
to us that DR.. Tallman's departure
and that of a Danville, ILL.,, woman
were coincident. We have worked
upon the theory that the physician
went away with this woman, but all
our efforts to learn the whereabouts
of the missing ones have been Of no
avail"
Mrs. Tallnan was very reluctant
in speaking of her husbands disap-
pearance. She said that he was in
Chicago last night and that he left
early in the evening with Mrs. Can
non of Danville. Mrs. Cannon was
formerly Miss Jennie Mckinley of
Champaign, Ill. She married Orville
Cannon, cashier of the Second
National bank of Danville, and is
the mother of two children. She
and her husband separated and were
remarked, but quarreled and parted
again.
In society DR.. Tallman has always
been a favorite. He married Teresa
Dean" who is the author of some
very bright letters and papers. DR..
Tallman is an honorary member of
the American Medical association,
and is member of the Cook County
Medical association.
Mrs. Tallman, who scouts the idea
of an elopement, is at a loss to ac-
count for his actions.
MY husband is mixed up in Mrs.
Cannon's troubles" she said. He
first met her early In September.
She had just had an interview with
her divorced husband in the Great
Northern hotel and sought the house
physician to have him minister to a
broken nose and cut lip. Mrs. Can
non, while driving in Michigan ave-
nue. in the first part of September,
ran over Polish boy, one Wannop.
Ever since she has been bothered by
private detectives, and has been in
constant terror, They seemed to be
in pursuit of money. A Polish law
yer, intimated that $4,000 would
secure for her a surcease from an
noyance.
THE woman appealed to my hus-
band and he tried to settle the case.
He confided in me and did not con-
ceal his anxiety. Mrs. Cannon was
his patient; she was helpless and
terrified. Besides, Mrs. Cannon's
aged mother, Mrs. j. b. Mckinley, Of
Champlain, appealed to my husband
to protect her daughter. | am posi-
tive he is acting in spirit Of chivalry.
am anxious about DIR. Tallman
because he has been in wretched
health for two months. He has
barely recovered from a severe at
tack Of fever, and may not be thor
oughly responsible. He would not
be absent from his business just now
unless for urgent reasons, for some
| important accounts are due. He
took no clothes or baggage OF any
kind with him, and only his surgical
instruments for ordinary use.'
Latest reports say DIR. Tallman and
Mrs. Cannon were in Milwaukee
several days. Mrs. Cannon was met
there by an acquaintance, and stated
that she had recently been married
to Il physician. A couple answering
tile description Of DR.. Tallman and
Mrs. Cannon registered az the Hotel
Pflstef, Oct ~, as j. IL. Bell and wife.
