Sensational Abduction Case in Milwau-


MILwAUKEB, August 25.-A distress
ing and mysterious abduction case, quite
riyaling the Charley Ross sensation,
was developed to-day. Katie Fagel, a
Girl fourteen wears old, smart and hand
some, was abducted from her home at
Beaver Dam months ago, and all efforts
TO recover her have failed. Her brother
in-law has traced her over Wisconsin
and Iowa 10 Chicago, and so lar south as
Cleveland, thence back to Milwaukee,
where she is now supposed to be Ind.
The Fagels are well-to-do people, and
the abduction has created genuine SEN
sation. A large reward is offered for
the girl, dead or alive.
MILwAUKEE, August 26.-J, +. Shartle,
superintendent OF the BarbOO, Wis,
wooden mills, arrived here yesterday in
search of his relative, Miss Katie Fogel,
bright girl of l3, who disappeared
from her mothers house, at Beaver
Dam, on June Sd. Believing the girl
had been abducted, search was i'm
medately begun, and still continues.
One clue led through the States OF Iowa,
Nebraska and Ohio to Illinois, but the
girl always seemed TO be about two
weeks ahead of him. She was finally
traced 10 Chicago. When last seen she
was apparently alone, and in response
10 inquiries said she lived in Wisconsin
and was en- route to Milwaukee, but
would make no further statement. \
thorough search of Milwaukee and Chi.
cago has been made, but without obtain
ing any further clue. Kate is described
as a girl about feet 9 inches high,
weighing but 50 pounds; fair, with
round face; blue-gray eyes, and cluster
ing brown hair. On the left side OF her
nose is a small brown mole, which can
be easily seen. Her disappearance is
especially mysterious from the fact that
her parents are only comfortably situat-
ell and unable to pay a heavy reward,
and that she is apparently travelling
alone. After seven weeks of persistent
search, Mr.. Shartle is as much in the
dark as when he began.

"On the premises Of J. Philip Herlue, Esq,
Of Muhlenbcrg township, Berks county,
there is grape vine which is a natural curl
osiy. 1t is a native variety and has been
bearing fruit for probably fifty years. The
trunk measures thirty inches in circumfer-
ence, and the vine covers AN area of one
eighth of an acre. The vine is loaded down
with fruit this year. Besides furnishing a
dense shade in the immediate vicinity Of
Squire Horlinc's residence, it annually bears
large crops of excellent grapes. It is doubt
ful whether its equal can be found in the
State. Certainly there is not another vine
like it in the county"
