A MOTE has been going the rounds of
the newspapers to the effect that little
girl, by the name of Webb, who was
kidnapped from her parents in Potosi
some five years ago, had been discov-
cred at Carroll, Iowa, and would be re-
turned to her parents. We are sorry
to spoil the romance of so fine tale, but
the truth of the matter differs in many
particulars from the story as published
Some years ago John III. and Francis
G. Webb lived in Potosi, but not in
those harmonious relations which
should exist between husbend and wife,
In fact the latter alleged that the ex-
treme of cruelty marked the course of
her husband towards herself. Whether
this was true or not the fact renal ms
that they finally separated about two
years ago. and Webb retained posses
sion of their only child, little girl,
which he took with him to Iowa and plac-
ed in charge of his sister in order that
his wife or her people could not get it.
This was all there was to the kidnap-
ping case. At the September term of
the circuit court for 1882, held in this
city, Mrs. Webb obtained divorce
and afterwards removed to jamestown
township. In the decree of divorce the
provision that the mother should have
the custody of the child was inserted
but was stricken out by the Judge.
Lately, however, it has been asserted
that the father was willing the mother
should have the child, and from this
probably grew the latter portion of the
romantic tale which has make such in
teresting but slightly misleading read

WASHINGTON, June 2.-It is reported

not to allow Boss Malone, of Virginia,
