Father's Long. Search For
Children Ends in Omaha
Son and Daughter Are Found In Creche After J. F.
Mohlman Visits Institutions. In Four States Says
Wife Obtained Divorce and Left Kiddies.
After visiting many homes and in
stitutions for children in Nebraska,
Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wy
oming, J. F. Mohlman came to his
journey's end in Omaha Thursday
afternoon when he found his child
ren in the Creche on Park Wilde
avenue.
Reinhold, 6 years old, and Wilma,
3, recognized their father, whom
they had not seen for nearly a year.
Mr. Mohlman's story was that his
wife obtained a divorce in Sun
dance, Wyo., a year ago, and was
married again to a man with whom
she is living in South Dakota.
After the divorce, Mohlman
claims, the children were left in
Sundance and he sent a friend for
them from Laramie, Wyo., but
when the friend arrived the children
could not be located. He then
started his town-to-town search un
til he visited the Creche on Thurs
day. He said he went from institu
tion to institution and looked at
the children.
The superintendent of the Creche
reports that the former Airs. Alolu
man placed the children in the
home last summer and has been
paying for their k"eep regularly.
Mohlman appears to be satisfied with
the arrangement, his chief interest
being to know where the children
are and to see them again.
Mohlman was married in Sutton,
Neb., September 26, 1911. He says
that he intends to make his home
in Omaha, that he may be near his
children.

among southern cotton planters to

holding up cotton prices.
