C Quigley of Butler 1 applied Monday for a writ of habeas corpus for the bodies of bis two grand children, Oliver, aged sixteen years and Daisy, aged twelve, who have been liv ing with tbeir step-mother, the widow of Marcus Watterson, deceased, near Maple Furnace in Parker township. The story leading up to the legal proceed ings is interesting. Mr Quigley's daughter married Marcus Watterson and they lived for some years at Greece City, where the children in dispute were born and where their older bmther was burned to death ten years ago Later they moved to the lower oil fields where Mrs Watterson died. Watterson then cauie north again and married a daugh ter of Philip Bowser of Parker town ship. On the 21st of September last, Watterson died. Mr. Quigley, the grandfather, was displeased with his son-in-law's second marriage and after his death tried to get the children and give them a home with him, but tlieir location was unknown to him, except that they lived in the northeastern part of Butler county. Some weeks ago he started after them and hired a Mr. Bowser, a relative of Mrs. Watterson, to guide him to the Watterson home, but they never reached the house and his guide left him at Petrolia. The old man then requested his son, B. C. Quigley. to hunt the children up, which which he did last week. Mr. Quigley arrived at the Watterson house about six o'clock in the evening and stayed all night, but the step-mother refused to give up the children. The habeas corpns proceedings were then com menced and on Tuesday Deputy Sheriff Rainey Hoon drove thirty miles through the rain, seryed the writ and brought the girl, Daisy, to Butler with him On seeing the Sheriff approach the boy ran away. The little girl is now with her grandfather at Mossgrove. NEW SUITS. Butler County National Bank vs the E. .1. Evans Oil Co.. E. J. Evans, James R. Henderson, E. M Whippo, and G. H. L.
