KIDNAPPING A Wo3IAN.-A dispatch
from Prairie du Chen Of the Goth says :
There is great excitement in this city
in consequence of bold case of kidnap-
ping, which occurred here, this forenoon.
A lady, named Mrs. Rush, has been
boarding for some time at the Mondel
House, pending suit for divorce from
her husband, who was n very wealthy
resident of West Union, Iowa. This
afternoon, four men drove in an open
carriage to the Mondel House. Two en-
tered the hotel, proceeded to the parlor,
where they found Mrs. Rush, whom they
seized and dragged to the street, where
after desperate struggle, she was forced
into the wagon. The men then drove
rapidly to the river, where she was
placed in a boat and taken to the Iowa
shore. The carriage, belonging to parties
in McGregor, was left on this side. The
affair was witnessed by several persons,
who were so astounded or frightened
that they made no attempt TO interfere.
Officers soon started in pursuit. but
We're too late, as the parties had escaped
with their victim into Iowa. The end
il not yet.
