A Kids Queer Story.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March l2.-Annie Eichenberg,
the 17-year-old daughter of Henry Eiehen-
berg, saloonkeeper on North avenue near
Sheridan street, tells a remarkable story.
She said she was returning through Humboldt
park, after having been to Humboldt post
Office last Wednesday evening, two
men darted out from behind a
tree, chloroformed her, and carried
her away in gig standing near by. When
she recovered consciousness she was in the
gig alone in front of a saloon on one of the
streets having street cars on it. She jumped
out and was picked up by the police and Ia
ken to the West Chicago avenue police sta
ton. The father says that the girl has been
under medical treatment for several years
and that her case batfied their skill. He
believes some of the doctors stole the girl
for the purpose Of making study of her
malady. The strangest feature of the whole
case is that her little sister, who was along,
corroboratcs the story Of her dime novel abb
duction. Otherwise the explanation would
be that she was simply romancin0.

"And how odd that am affected just the

There was another long interval of silence,

''In such case," said the man who sat

''Willingly," was the response in chorus.

The Iowa & Minnesota division train of
the Milwaukee road was somewhat delayed
yesterday by heavy train load of emigrants.
They were consigned to the Northern Pacific
train for transportation to Washington and
Oregon territories. And these were not all
who went out on the Northern Pacific train;
large number were received from the other
eastern roads, and when the train was ready
to leave it was found that four emigrant
sleeping cars were full, all being scheduled
for points in Oregon and Washington. Mr..
Shelby of the Union Pacific line watched the
loading and departure of the train Without
even saying anything complimentary to the
Northern Pacific officials, but spoke of the
emigration prospects over the Union Pacific.
He felt all the worse when informed that they
were all from the southern part of Ohio.
