Which Resulted in Fam

Hollandcr Fled TO California
Judge Puts Them on Probation.

"The other side" of the Kooyman
family's troubles became known this
morning when the examination of
Kooyman was concluded before Judge
Gowans OF the juvenile court. Jealousy
appears to rankle in the heart of Mrs.
Kooyman ana to have been the cause
of ali their trouble. out of this cause,
however, there have come many 9TH
ers and tangle of domestic strife
Will have TO be unraveled In the mind
of Judge Gowans before he passes fin-
al Judgment in the matter. He has
instructed the probation officers OF
the court to inform him as to certain
obscure points relating to the kooy-
man family customs and habits. He
indicated in court this morning, how
ever, that If Kooyman and his wife
viii make good the promises made
TO him, the custody of their children.
HendrilSa, Heary and Mary, VIII be
given over to them. These children
have been declared delinquents and
are wards of the court, The present
was TO show cause why he should
not be deprived Of the custody of The
children.
LIKE NURSERY RHYME.
The story told in court this morning
brought to mind the nursery rhyme
that has lived longer than the memory
of man runneth and promises to live
vet longer. There was an old woman
who lived In shoe" etc, seems to
apply to the Kooyman family If the
specific domicle be stricken out the
facts appear that at times there was
rot shoe in the Kooyman family and
hence the application Is faulty in that
respect.

this morning by Mrs. Eggan Mrs. Eg-
gan said that while she was married TO
Eggan, Kooyman cultivated an ac-
ouaintance with her and became unduly

charges against her and forced her to
seek divorce. She declared that kooy-
man broke UP her home, but she as
firmly said that she never did think

1eart the little rhyme that refers TO
lin that runs away. He has hurried
rom the house. sometimes in most de-
sided dishable, to return only after ne
thought the storm had passed. 1t was
shown that the conduct OF the two
