ment estranged Miss Lincoln from her
father.
Beckwith obtained a divorce on the
grounds of desertion, which was not
! denied by his wife in her answer. She
alleged that he had no fixed place OF
residence, but lived in hotels and
boarding houses Beckwith has been
living recently at his old home in Mt
Pleasant, although he spent much
time at Aurora.
He met the girl he eloped with while
she was visiting a sister in Mt. Pleas
