Wife and Child Deserter Gets His.

Oscar Sahanlaub, of Newton county, was arrested on the streets of Rensselaer last Saturday by Sheriff Hess, of Benton county, and Deputy Sheriff Robinson, of 'Jasper county. He is about 30 years of age and has a wife and three children living in Mt. Ayr. He had been arraigned before Judge Hanley in Kentland some months ago and was ordered to pay to his wife for the support of herself and three children sls per month. He had failed to pay and when brought before Judge Hanley a second time had promised to do so if given another chance, but he failed again. It is said that he had been going about with young girls about Rensselaer and when Sheriff Hess learned about it he came over here after him. He was taken before Judge Hanley and the judge sentenced him to 180 days at the penal farm and fined him SSO. After he gets out the obligation to care for his family will again confront him. Sheriff Hess or a deputy will take him to the penal farm shortly.
