Child and Makes Trouble.

OllAAO anu 1fldAACS
Leavenworth, Kan. Nov. 6.-Dramat-
ic situations and impassioned bits of
family tragedy have marked the do
mestic infelicities of the family of Will
lam Smith, whose wife from whom he
has been separated for some time,
visited his parents home at 7S4 Potta-
watomie street and attempted to take
away with her their 4-year-old son,
Henry.
Trouble which led to the police
court and neighborhood airing some
months ago caused the separation of
the couple. Since that time the child,
Henry, has been living with his moth
er's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Davis,
at Wolcott. A few days ago the boys
father went to Wolcott and got per-
mission from the grandparents to take
the little lad home with him for a
been at 7S4 Pottawatomie street, where
his father lives with his parents. Mrs
Smith complained to the police that
her husband had kidnapped the child
She asked that the officers take the
little boy away and restore him to her.
1t was explained to Mrs. Smith by 1t
Krumm that such action by the police
department would not be legal and
that she must take the matter up
through the courts. He agreed, how
to the place where the child is kept,
making It clear that his only duty
would be to keep the peace, and not
to bring the child away himself. Off
Ger Ledman and Mrs. Smith called at
the home of the husband and father.
There she found the child. Her hus-
band and his relatives were very bit
ter and declared that she would not
be allowed to take the little boy away.
"One man there. I don't know who
he was" said officer Lehman, tried
to attack Mrs. Smith. Quite a disturb
ance followed and ended by Mrs. Smith
and I being shown the gate"
