Would Divide His Children


Joe Fisher, who formerly lived at
172 Lemon street and who was sought
by the police on a charge of abandon
ing his wife and children on last We'd
nesday, came back to Kenosha on Mon
day afternoon. He came accompanied
by his mother-in- law and at once sought
to make things right with his wife.
The overtures for peace were so loud
that the police were called to the
house. The mother Of Mrs. Fisher
confded to the police that she did not
think that any one could get along
with her daughter and after a parley
it was decided to divide the family
sending the two older children to Chi
cago with the father and leaving the
mother and her baby in Kenosha. The
police refused to stand for this ar
rangement and finally Fisher and his
wife took all the children and went to
Chicago with the understanding that
they will make the division there.
