Mother Kidnaps Own Daughter in Starkweather Case
A dispute over a four year old child in Starkweather caused a Sunday scene as the foster parents and the mother traveled to Devils Lake. An order restrains the mother from removing the child from the state until after September 8, when Juvenile Court will hear the case before Judge Cowan. The mother, Sadie Houff, 33, came from Staunton, Virginia, where a 1910 custody battle gave the father guardianship. The child had been entrusted to Rev and Mrs Pittman with strict instructions not to leave without the father's consent. The Pittmans resisted giving up the child without his presence though a claimed order from him accompanied her. The Pittmans acted in good faith and, if reconciliation exists, will surrender the child to its rightful guardian.
