Miss Lillian Crow Brings a Breach
of-Promise Suit and Ac-
companies Deputy.
QUEST CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
Presence of the Pair in Various
Hotels Gives Rise to Report
That They Are After
the Alleged Boodler.

Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff. armed
with papers In a breach Of promise suit.
Miss Lillian Crow. of No. 4sz2 West Belle
place, yesterday searched ST. Louis hotels
for Robert J. Kelly OF Ciarksville. Mo-.
who was supposed to have come here with
his bride. The search gave rise TO the re-
port that Il was a chase after the missing
boodler.
Miss Crow filed papers asking for $4,000
damages. and then informed the Sherin
that Kelly had married another woman at
Clarksville. and had come to St Louis on a
wedding trip. She further stated that she
knew all the places which Kelly would be
likely to visit. while in this city. and would
help the deputy serve the papers. Sheriff
Dickmann picked out Pete J. Shilling to
perform the duty.
Their first stop was at the Moser Hotel.
and the presence OF deputy sheriff. armed
with papers which de desired to eerve on
Kelly caused quite a stir In the establish
ment, many persons mistaking the Kelly
called for In the warrant for the missing
boodler by the same name.
MISTAKEN FOR BOODLER-
The fact that a large reward has been
offered for the missing boodler enlisted all
the able-bodied men Of the hosteiry in the
search for Kelly. 1t took the chief clerk
of the hotel nearly an hour to explain to
his subordinates that the Kelly wanted by
the deputy was only an alleged recreant
lover. and not the man OF Doodle fame.
From the Moser. where Kelly is said to
have stopped when he came to visit Miss
Crow. the officer and the young woman
made a round of all the leading hotels in
the city. but Kelly proved as elusive as his
notorious namesake.
Miss Crow then remembered that Kelly
used to take her to the Columbia. Theater.
and paid for a seat for him in front where
she used TO sit with Kelly. For half an
hour the Deputy and Miss Crow divided
their time in watching the show and scan
ming the audience
KELLY IS ELUSIVE.
After the show they stood in front Of the
theater and watched the crowd pass out,
but Kelly did not appear. Miss Crow then
concluded that If Kelly did not take his
bride to the theater 1t was more than likely
that he was not in the city. and she al
lowed the Deputy Sheriff to go back to the
Courthouse, while she caught the next car
for home.
The petition was filed at o'clock in the
afternoon. and alleges that on August q
Robert ]. Kelly promised faithfully that he
would marry Miss Crow. The promise\is
said to have been made in Clarksville.
where Kelly is a thriving saloon keeper. and
where Miss Crow lived before she came TO
St Louis. September "a he married Miss
