tracts notice by the society which de-
cries it. DR.. Durham was twice arrested
on complaint of George Knapp, the
husband with an alleged grievance, up
and once at Canton. At the latter
place it was alleged that DR.. Durham
and Mrs. Knapp had registered at a
hotel in such a manner as TO rouse
suspicion in the mind of the husband
of the latter. Later Mr.. and Mrs.
Knapp separated n still later Mrs.
Knapp secured a warrant for the ar
rest of her husband in Sioux City on
q charge of kidnapping a child born Of
the two before the craft of the Knapp
family went aground on a reef. The
warrant was not served, the husband
succeeding in getting out Of the city
with his charge. The child was later
located at some point in Minnesota.
1t is not understood that there will
be any appearance against DR.. Knapp
on the charge originally entered
against him by the husband Of the
woman who has now become the wife
of DR.. Durham. Both families were
formerly prominent in the social and
club life of this city.
