months Sheriff Nolte and his deputies
had been trying to serve papers upon
Mrs. Anna Knapp and her daughter,
Miss Georgia Knapp, who live at 4012
Mcpherson avenue. They had watch
ed the house. front and back. TO catch
one of the women when they came out,
but neither Mrs. Knapp nor her daugh-
ter ever came from the house Ac-
cording to the deputies, they have
been prisoners In their own house for
three months
The deputy sheriffs tried to sneak In
with the grocer and butcher, but the
women discovered the ruse and would
not open the door for anyone and
even the grocer had to leave his goods
on the back porch, and, when the
coast was clear. Mrs. Knapp would
reach out and take the articles in.
Meantime the case has been called
twice for trial In court and each time
the sheriff had to report that he had
been unable to serve the court sum-
mons and the case had to be con-
tinued.
Monday Deputy Sheriff Maitland
asked TO have one more chance to
serve the papers and Sheriff Nolte
gave them to him and said:
For my sake, Hugh, try and get
them
Maitland took satchel. a coil of
wire, a telephone book, pair of pliers
and screwdriver.
Then he rang the doorbell of the
Knapp home. Mrs. Knapp opened the
door to very narrow crack and
peeped out at him.
Il am telephone inspector and
want TO test your telephone he said.
It's working aii right, just or
dered the groceries over it." answered
Mrs Knapp.
That's all right: I have to talk to
the head once over it, said Matt

she opened the door and let him in.
He vent 10 the telephone and calIed
up central and then took out us
screw driver and began to work On the
instrument Mrs. Knapp watched him
while suspiciously and then went
into the kitchen.
The deputy was waiting to get sight (
OF Miss Knapp, so he could serye them /
both. Soon he saw her go into the
dining room and he dropped his screw
driver and went In and handed her the I
court summons, and before she could
say word he went into tho kitchen
and handed another paper TO Mrs. /
Knapp.
What's this?'' asked Mrs. Knapp.
That's court summons" answered |
Maitland.
So you are not telephone in
spector?' she exclaimed
No, am an officer of the court ] !
ask your pardon for imposing on you 1
a little. but you have evaded service, +
and it became a contest of wits he
said.
The suit against Mrs. and Miss
Knapp is for $4,000. It was filed last
December by Mrs. Elizabeth Knapp,
wife of Lester Knapp, son of Mrs. !
Anna Knapp, and charged that she and
her daughter alienated the affections
of Lester Knapp and enticed him to
leave his wife.
It is charged In the petition that
Elizabeth was married 10 Lester
Knapp in 1908, and that they would
have been happy together but they
went to live in house owned by Mrs.
Anna Knapp, next door to the Knapp
home on Mcpherson avenue, and that
his mother and sister coaxed him
away from her and then made her
move out of their house.
