Young Lady Kidnapped.
Sr. LOUIS, October esterdsy
morning about s o'clock a man named
Edward Willis, a printer, went to the
house OF Mrs. Emit, on Second street
near the river, and represented himself
as deputy constable. He presented q
forged subpoena and demanded that Mrs.
Emitt's daughter. girl OF seventeen,
should accompany him to attend trial
in a distant part OF the country as a
witness in q Justices Court. Mrs Emit
and daughter, not suepecting any
thing wrong and believing the mans
representations to te true, got into q
buggy with him. When they had
crossed the bridge the buggy was
stopped by four men who were in
sewing machine wagons. The girl was
drawn from the buggy by three men
and forced to get into covered wagon
La order to enforce her to silence and q
ready compliance with their orders one
OF the men, named job nson, held a
pistol to the girls head and threatened
to shoot her. Fearing he would carry
out his threat she seized hold OF the
pistol and in the struggle 10 protect her-
selt it exploded. Sue caught hold OF
the reins and in her excitement jerked
the horaes around in such msuner
that the wagon overturned, and all the
inmates were thrown out. At this
moment a physician OF Cayondale,
Dr. Riley, came along and prevented
further violence by his presence He
took the mother and daughter in his
buggy and returned with them to Lux
emburg. This case Of open and bold
outrage was discovered upon the arrest

Sergeant Young and officer Hsrkness,
when they learned Of the affair, started
In pursuit and overlook two of them.
Rivers and Johnson. eight miles out on
the Gravious road. White, Raynor, and
the other two were arrested at their
home at Carondalet late in the even
ing James P. johnson and Eben B
Rivers are agents Tor the Howe sewing
machine and Harris, White and Arthur
RaynOr are agents Of the Singer sewing
machine company. The cause OF
this attempt to carry off young wo-
man in broad day light seems to have
originated in job nson's desire 10 mar
ry the young girl, TO which both
the young lady and mother were OPP
posed. 1t further appears that John
son hired Willis to get the young girl
out OF the town, where he got hold Of
her.
