WANT HIS BOY BACK.

d Minneapolis Times: II. r. Brietzke,
a Baifour, n. d. farmer, arrived IN
Minneapolis yesterday with letters of /
intro oduction to the chief of police of
this scity from the newspaper man,
and Justice OF the peace Of his town.
Mr.. Brietzke's mission is the recovery
OF his 2-year-old son, who lis now the
adopted son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Nc
Cu1logh, 337 3. Seventeenth street 4
Last November Mrs. Brietzke came
to Minneapolis from the farm in North
Dakota, having left her husband, TAX
ing her young son with her and leaving
behind two children, one I and one s.
years of age. s.. 4 AL.
She took the boy to Maternity hos
pital and it was subsequently adopted
by the McCulloghs. From Minnea-
polls Leh woman went to Indianapolis.
Tiring of her new home and pining
for the babe she had left behind in
| Minneapolis, Mrs. Brietzke- began a
correspondence with her husband
She was forgiven and returned to the
farm, but without the baby. Both she
and her husband came to the conclu-
sion that they must regain possession
| of the little boy and that is Mr. Rrietz-
ke's mission to Minneapolis. n
When his wife left the baby at the
Maternity hospital, sshe denied any
| maternal relationship to the child, but
| told the authorities that it was her sis
| ter's baby, the mother having died
| leaving the baby homeless
| Mrs. Brietzke is "a years of age and
| her husband is 45. She is his second
wife ~
Chief Ames was not in his Office when
| the man called and Brietzke reluc-
family left the Office for his hotel, say
| ing that he would like to take the baby
and the evening train home, as he had
left his wheat uncut. but the baby was
dearer than the whole crop on the 1867
acre farm. r., s'~-%
He did not figure on any of the legal
entanglements he might have to en-
counter in recovering his son.
