Called home to see his mother, who
lies at the point Of death, Henry
Schultz was arrested before he had
been in town half day and hailed into
probate court on the charge of nom
support of his child. The child is a
daughter who resided with her mother.
Schultz and his wife separated nearly a
year ago.
Schultz now resides in st. Joseph
from which town he came to Topeka
when he received word that his mother
was at the point of death and that he
must come soon if he was to see her
alive. Schultz dreamed not of further
trouble with his wife, and it would
have made no difference if he had. No
man can resist such call, and Schultz,
arranging his affairs so that he could
leave the Missouri town, returned TO
Topeka to await the end of his moth
er'S illness.
Some one informed Mrs. Schultz Of
her husbands presence here and his ar
rest followed. Schultz is mechanic,
has been employed at times by the
Santa Fe and bears good reputation.
He is well liked among the shopmen. :
Back of the story of Schultz's arrest
is history of welded strife which Gull
minated about a year ago. The end
cording to his story he had reason for
this action. Mrs. Schultz may, and
probably will, tell another story.
Started Over Child.
1t all started over a quarrel concern
ing the care Mrs. Schultz took of their
child. Another child was staying with
them and Schultz told his wife that he
wished she would pay more attention
to their child, which lay crying upon
the floor and less to the other child
Mrs. Schultz, according to her hus-
band then made remarks about the
oh !, ioI1 ar M fn
a husband happy and contented. They
quarreled, but still agreed to try to live
together. Later they moved to Cali
fornia where Schultz secured a good
position. But Mrs. Schultz, it is al
legged. was not satisfied there and de-
manded that they return to Topeka.
The return trip was then made and
soon, it is declared. Mrs. Schultz be-
came dissatisfied here. She demanded,
according to Schultz. that they move
somewhere else. The old trouble had
not died out and Schultz declined to
m we further. Another quarrel fol-
lowed and Schultz left. He was in the
west some time. but later returned to
the central part of the country and
located in st. Joseph Then followed
his trip to Topeka and his subsequent
arrest
Schultz had little trouble in furnish
ing the $500 bond required and is at
liberty. His mother does not know of
his trouble and every effort will be
maze 10 keep the kHoWleuSe u his
arrest from reaching her. The case
will come up some day next week, no
date having vet been fixed.
Another Case Up.
