A sad Family Misup.

Several years ago. Mrs. Anna L.
Wrisley, of Kalamazoo, sued for di-
vorce from her husband, Frank Wris-
ley, in the Kalamazoo county court.
1t was proven that he was negligent
and cruel, and Judge Buck complied.
In this instance, it was the duty of the
solicitor, so Judge Buck says, for the
complainant, to notify the defendant
but he never received such notification,
although he was living in Charlevoix
at the time. Mrs Wrisley, thinking
herself free, married VIM. Il. Doyle
and had two children by him. Mr..
Wrisley recently appeared on the scene
and demanded possession of Gladys, a
daughter. A squabble ensued and the
matter was again brought before the
circuit court of Kalamazoo county.
After hearing Mr.. Wrisley's tale, the
court set aside the former decree, leav-
ing Mrs. Doyle, the legal wife OF her
first husband, and sadly entangling
their domestic ties. Judge Buck says
that he did the best he could under the
circumstances and states that fault
lies with the solicitor of the complain
ant in not complying with the law in
serving a subpoena upon Wrisley in
the proper manner.
