LOVE OF CHILDREN IS
ASSERTED WITH PISTOL
Mother Forces Husband to
Give Up Three Girls
to Her.

With a flaming courage that lent
strength to her frail form, Mrs.
Leona Shields yesterday told Judge
II. l.. Standeyen of the county court
of her victory over the man who de-
serted her, left her entirely depen-
dent upon her labor, and requited her
devotion to their three children by
taking them away to work in the
cotton fields.
At the conclusion Of the story,
couched In simple language. but elo-
quent of the love she has for her
children, the court made two Of the
girls wards of the court. returned
them to Mrs. Shields and placed the
eldest girl in the Frances Willard

The case came into the court after

OF understanding Of the sacrifices her
mother was making. rebelled. SO on
Monday, when the girl received some
money from her father. she took the
ottAr two girls and went to Stroud,
where the father proposed to put
them to work picking cotton.
The retributory wrath Of Mrs.
Shields was manifested when she ap-
peared at Stroud and at the point of
a pistol forced the father to give the
children back. She returned to Tulsa
yesterday
Bessie will be cared for at the
Frances Willard home. where in time
she will learn an appreciation Of her
mothers devotion. The other girls
