the Snowman, had in Royalton few
years ago, when his daughter married
without his consent:
Chas. Under wood. proprietor of the
Belle Underwood Vaudeville company
which held forth at Donnelly on
Monday and Tuesday evening Of this
week, was arrested by Sheriff Della

rison for trial No nday on charge Of
kidnapping. It seems that Mrs.. Un.
derwood, the star Of the company, is
q daughter Of Billie Rennett, the
popular Snowman, and was married
TO Underwood against her fathers
wishes. Later Underwood and his
wife started q vaudeville company
of their own, and while stopping at

assistance from the authorities, and
came to Morris for help last Monday
morning, swearing out mis- warrant
on q charge of kidnapping as Under
wood refused to give up the boys at
bis request. In all the kidnapping
cases that have come before Judge
Morrison, during lis many years OF
experience, he never saw one exactly
like this one, so after the hearing he
lot Underw wood off with the costs and
let the old man have his boys. Good.
