THAT TROUBLESOME CHuD-In our article, last
week. relative to DIR. Dale and the child under his
Guardianship. We made some mistakes The Dr. SAYS
ne doesn't care much for any of them, except the
statement that Mowry went on his bond for q 600.
ne thinks that Ia too rough, and wants it disputed
we Will try again to give statement Of the circua-
stances with subsequent transactions.
1t seems that Anderson the father of the little girl
probably urged on by others,) made an attempt to
get the child away from DR. Dale on the ground that
ne was preparing to take it out of the State Ander-
son owned 80 acres Of land in Republic County, upon
which he gave mortgage to Mowry. to secure his
expenses IN getting the child which job he had
aertaken; and, as We understand. had given 81 900
bond to produce the child. Mrs. Dale had gone to
Lathrop No., and had taken the child with her. DIR.
Dale Was arrested, and brought to Troy upon some
charge connected with the business but here
leased His attorney Judge Price, then advised him
to go to his wife, as an attempt might be made to
kdnap the child from her. He started for the train
which just then came along, and he barely succeeded
IN getting aboard Mowry sent an officer TO st. Joe
where warrant was got out, and the officer to
Lathrop, where he attempted to arrest Dale for kid
mapping. Dale told him he could not touch him
with such papers he had, but that he would voun
tarily return with him, and bring his wife and the
child They were brought to Wathena, where some
other sort off pow-wow was held, ending in Dale
signing paper recommending that another person
be appointed guardian of the child The case was
then brought before Judge Wilkinson, at Troy, who
ordered the child to be placed the custody of Mrs
Highly, to be produced by her upon order of the Court
Mrs Highly placed the child in the of Mrs Dale
who, with her husband returned to Severance.
The next preceding the attachment of DIR.
Dales team for debt, by party in Severance. The
case tried before Justice Wood in Troy on Sat
urday. and about 10 o'clock at night was decided
against Dale. When he went out upon the street,
Mowry and deputy Constable from watheua were
waiting for him, with another warrant the nature of
which We have not learned, and Selling him, they
threw him into wagon, and drove away at full
speed not needing the cries of Dae's wife, the
quest of Dale to be permitted TO consult with his at
torney. Judge Price, upon being informed of the cir
eumstance, got out warrant for the arrest of Now
~ and the deputy Constable upon the charge of kid
mapping Dale. The Sheriff and Constable went to
Wathena, arrested the two, and brought them to
Troy, and lodged them in jail Constable Fred
Paul, of Wathena, directed to return Dale to
Troy, which he did about o'clock at night, when
Judge Wilkinson called out of bed, and released
Dale on a writ of habus corpus On Monday, the dep
ufy Constable had hearing, and was released.
Mowry waived an examination, and was bound over
for trial at the December term Of the District Court
AT one stage of the proceedings, we are informed,
Mowry himself attempted to arrest Dale, but upon
his authority being demanded he desisted and pass
ed it off as joke.
At this writing, Dale is at large and all is quiet
but there is telling when That child will break out
in o fresh place. She is destined to make a commO-
ton in the world.
