No Names

These two photos are connected with nothing written on them.  
Possibly Mary Ella Arnold and her first husband, Irving G. Bunker. The gentleman is the same as a previous post with a question mark on the identification of it being "Aunt Mary's husband?  Bunker?"

Irving G. Bunker?

On the back with question marks:  "Aunt Mary's husband?  Bunker?"
If this is Mary Ella Arnold's first husband, he would be Irving G. Bunker.  Thoughts anyone?

Irvin (Irving) Bunker

Irvin Bunker, of Roberts, who was recently separated from his wife, decided to obtain (??) of one of his children last week, and from a lawyer's advice that he could lawfully possess her if she would come to him voluntarily, went to the house of his father-in-law, Amos Arnold, of Roberts, where his wife and children were staying. The little girl came willingly enough to her father, of course, and the latter picked her up and made tracks for the buggy. He was followed by the family, who strongly objected to his purpose. Tom Torvin, a hired hand, appealed to by the child's mother, ran to the rescue, but Bunker wheeled and gave Torvin a good view of the ho? end of his revolver, which checked pursuit, and he took the little girl to the home of his father, where he is staying. Subsequently Torvin had Bunker arrested for drawing his revolver, and the latter willingly paid the fine and costs, and has his little girl too. He claims the mother promised to let him have one of the children part of the time and then refused.
