The culVert made an excellent play

Painesdale, which town is only n short

the experience of walking through the
tunnel or culvert, little thinking there

a frantic effort to regain, by the laws
AID. his wife, Mrs. Agnes M. Prichard,
who left his home in Mobile, he claims,
two months ago, and came here.
Prichard is confident of his power
to talk his wife into a conciliatory
mood But Mrs. Prichard refuses to
face him, apparently fearful of her
weakness in his presence.
Ore of the ruses to which Prichard
resorted was habeas corpus suit
against Mrs. Edward B. Kelley, of No.
251O Kemper lane, in which he de-
manded that she produce his wife at
the Insolvency Court at once
Prichard's lawyer admitted that 1t
was not believed Mrs. Kelley was de-
tanning Mrs. Prichard. but that the
habeas corpus was used as an expe-

trant wife face to face with her hus-
band and to allow him the opportu-
nifty OF a word and a plea with her.
Mrs. Prichard left the Kelley home.
1t Is believed she fled to avoid her
husband
Later in the day Prichard received
word that his wife was with friends
in Avondale, and he started there in
an effort to see her. So far, however,
ne has been unsuccessful.
This is the second time the Mobile
man has been in Cincinnati in quest
of his wife. Two years ago Mrs.
Prichard left her home, and finally
was found here. He persuaded her
then to accompany him home.

spoiled the fun.
Policeman Walsh was standing at
the entrance of the rink when a lit
tie chap, a few inches over five feet,
edged his way into the arena. Walsh
thought it was boy of tender years,
whose future might be blighted by OBJ

arm rather roughly.

man with wrath in his eyes. Then

Delaney had escaped and the little
fellow was sobbing on the shoulder
of the protector. Policeman Walsh
took them to the Central Station,
where the arrested one gave the I'M
masculine name Of Mrs. Lottie Salas
wife Of James A. Salas. Her husband
gave a cash bail of $40.
Mrs. Salas was turned over to the
custody of the matron while her hus
band did some telephoning, and few
minutes later Miss Lawrence APP
