band came on to Hutchinson to arrange
a home for his bride here, and attend
to business matters with the house Tor

home of her parents in Enid, with the
understanding that he would send for

having completely disappeared.
II have been unable to find any trace
of her to this day." he adds in his petit
ton. He asks the court to grant him
a divorce, and also to bar her from any
interest in his property.
