Mrs. Talon Takes Her Children
Because She Can.
AND GRANDMOTHER WEEPS
Judge Clancy's Order in the B. 81 M.
Receivership Case-Britt Valves
Rights to Claim Certain
Mines-Auswers Filed.

The habeas corpus proceedings instf-
tuted by Mrs. Agnes Talon against her
mother, Mrs. Kate Demory, to get pos
session of her four children, was dis
missed yesterday morning when the
matter came up for hearing before
Judge Clancy because the grandmoth-
er concluded to surrender the children
without making a fight for them. A
few minutes later Mrs. Talon made the
statement in the county attorneys Of
flee that she did not particularly want
the children, but she wanted to show
her mother that she had a right to
them and could get them. There was
very fearful and affecting scene IN
the court room when the grandmother
turned the children over to their moth
er. The children all cried to go with
their grandmother and the latter cried
because she had to give them up. After
the party had left the court room the
youngest of the children, boy years
cid, broke away from his mother and
ran to Mrs. Demory and made such d
fight against going with his mother
that the latter was compelled to allow
him to go home with his grandmother.

ceptions:
THE court being of the opinion that
on account of the contemptuous con-
duct of the defendants aforesaid and
their position before the court, they
were not entitled to any relief asked
or to a consideration of their motion
by the court, and the court denied the
same for that reason, it appearing
clearly from the evidence presented on
the hearing of the motion that defend
ants had violated the order of the court
