forms Mr.. Kearns that unless he sends
the amount, he, Hobbs, will write a

JOINT EFFUSION.
In October last, the woman and
Hobbs wrote a joint epistle to Mrs.

that they were married. The woman
addresses her part of the effusion to

AT THE KILPACK HOME.
One doesn't need a guide to find the
kilpack home at 231 South Seventh
East street, where Eula Wray lives.
The youngster whose paternity is in
doubt is sufficient to guide the way
farer to the place, even though there
isn't number on the door. Last night
the infant was especially demonstrat-
i've. Collie must have reigned supreme
inside its little frame, for it was doing
enough squalling to waken the neigh
bors.
A Herald reporter arrived there at
a late hour. The Kilpacks were abed
and although the child was doing some
very lustv work with its lungs, it was
quite time ere any response was
made 10 TIE summons. Finally Kill
pack shouted. Who's there?"
The Identity of the rapper being dis
closed, KilDack informed him that he
had best come around some time this
afternoon, but on being informed that
newspapers went to press every morn

mother married George A. l<ilpack,

baby girl, is now living with them at
231 South Seventh East street. The
child was born in Colorado. whe,e Miss
Wray alleges Kearns sent her for that
purpose.
Miss Wray's record. however, IS not
exactly clear. She was arrested on a
complaint mixed up in a forlication
case with the man Hobbs. which was
aired in court and was dismissed on
the understanding that Hobbs woul1
marry her. 1t is claimed that Hobbs
did marry her, but Miss Wray says
he didn't, and the reason why he didn't
is that he found out the relations which
existed between her and Kearns. The
complaint charging Hobbs with foTni-
cation with Miss NVray was sworn to
by the girls stepmother, Mrs kilpack,
on June 80 last.
MR.. KEARNS' VERSION.
Mr.. Kearns was seen at the Walker
house last evening and While not at
all pleased at the unpleasant notoriety
thrust upon him, was not especially
disturbed over the situation.
