After Reaching Quetsion No. 22 In a Delicate Case. On complaint of Leia Mildred Peek, who with her mother resides west of town on the Wesley Williams farm, Earl Wiseman of. Virgie was arrested yesterday morning by Constable Parks and arraigned before Squire Irwin, charged with being responsible for the girl’s condition. The girl alleges that the accident occurred one evening last fall when young Wiseman accompanied her home from a pie social. Wiseman, who is perhaps 21 or 22 years of age and a fine young denies the charge in toto. The girl is only 16 years of age now t and says she was but 15 at the time fehe attended the pie social. During the progress of the hearing, when the court had got down to question No. 22, the witness became very uneasy and the court, suspicioning that it would be well to postpone the hearing to some future time, hurriedly excused her and she was bundled into Dr. Kreslef's auto and whirled out home, where she gave birth to a child. Young Wiseman is held in SSOO bondb with his father, James Wiseman, as surety, until the hearing can be resumed. , The family originally lived in Illinois, going from there to Dakota, and from there moving to near Virgie last year. Last spring they moved upon the farm where they now reside. The girl’s mother is a widow, and there are several girls and boys in the ramily.
