his disappearance from Langdon in a
rooming house in Grand Forks, his COM
panion was Miss Eva Shimek, who left
here at about the same time. They had

suspended sentence, Petit going to Jail
for six months. The evidence in the
case against Petit is cited by his wife
Mrs. Dora Petit as her grounds for a
divorce. The complainant is Petits
second wife, whom he married within
eight weeks OF the unexpectedly sudden
death OF the former Mrs. Petit, whom he
brought to L%angdon as a bride a twelve
