interview with the oldest girl, and
when he attempted to 90 with her 10 !
the upper room he was charged upon
by the attorney Of Mrs. Small. Fred I
Baker also took hand in the melee, |
but the three were soon parted by /
Sheriff Wrightman and Deputy VAIN. |
A little blood flowed all round, but no |
Jne was seriously hurt. 1t was
most distressing-in fact bordering /
Jn the tragic TO see the poor 1
mother and other women scramb-
ing for the children, while the
ather on the other hand was
desperate to secure possession, or at
east an interview. The little girl.
,ver whom the scramble took place is
wanted as witness for the mothers
ide OF the case. The father also had
Of two children, and it was
J pltiful sight 10 see the innocent
little tots, who probably loved the
ather and mother equally well, cry
ng over tile results OF disagreement
which they could not underatand.
iany witnesses to this occurrence eX-
'ressed the opinion that there should
