her child with health from which

It viii be remembered that about
week ago the Eagle had an account about
the sheriff of Dickinson county coming
here and capturing a man named WHIT
tier and supposed Mrs. Nicely. That
sheriff IS now boiling hot He
chased Whittier all over southern kan
sas to arrest him on a warrant charging
him with abducting the wife and child
of one W H Nicely. He caught the
couple at wichita and took them back 10
Abilene. putting the man mail and al
lowing the woman to remain at iargs.
The next day Nelly and the woman got
together and went TO the probate judge
and were married It seems they had not
been married before. Whittier apparent
~ had as much rieht to her as the ry1n
who had accused him Of abduction. Ths
sheriff turned Whittier loose and told thu
Nelly couple that If they didn't leave The
country he would set the dogs on them.

their child weak Of body, and some
times weak Of mind Il grew rp to
be fretful, sullen AID perhaps spiteful.
It seemed impossible thai love could
bring such a child into the world.
So the child was called 8 fairy change
