L. J. Lane Arrested On Complaint of Daughter.

L. J. Lane returned from Illinois Saturday and went to his home in the country. His family became alarmed and one of his daughters telephoned for the sheriff and later swore out a warrant for her father’s arrest on surety of the peace proceedings. Mr. Lane remained at his home that night and the next morning the sheriff arrested him there. He raised no disturbance and but for the hysterical condition of his daughter there would have been no trouble. He informed the officers that he expected to see his children occassionally and provide for them and that he would not be driven away unless compelled to leave by the court. Mrs. Lane’s health is very bad and her nervous condition adds to the trouble. Mr. Lane and attorneys for each side went to his home today in hopes of effecting a settlement. It is understood that Mr. Lane is to have the two youngest children. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago Lane promised to leave here and not return If a proposed lunacy inquiry was dismissed. He has since changed his mind, however, and deeided to return and abide the consequences.
