Mr.. and Mrs. Carver, of st. Joseph,
Mo-, who have been staying at the
Metropolitan hotel for the past few
days, left last evening for Minneapolis
in response to a telegram requesting
their presence in that city at once.
During the past week detective has
been engaged in search i'll Minneapo-
lis for Polish couple named Bosanska,
formerly employed by the Carvers in
the operation of dairy farm near st.
Joseph. They remained at the farm for
over year, Bosanska being employed
busy about the house. The CarverS
had one little girl named Elise. who at
the time the Bosanskas were employed
was sixteen months old. The BOsanSka
woman conceived passionate affection
for little Elise, and as Mrs. Carver
was at that time in poor health
great deal of the care
of the child devolved upon the nurse.
Mrs. BosanSka, who is described as an
unusually comely young woman, fire.
Quently lamented to Mrs. Carver her
childless condition, saying she would
give the world for such baby as Elise
On August 20 of last year, owing to his
wife's DOOR health and the fact that
competition was heavy in the neighbor-
hood, Carver sold the farm, with the in
tention of moving with his family to
California, and the BoSanSkaS were no
tilted that they must seek other quar-
tiers. The idea of leaving the place
seemed to trouble the Bosanska woman
terribly; she was frequently found in
ch 10
that her greatest grief was the
necessity for parting from the
child Elise. On the afternoon
of the 30th of August, the day
prior to the vacation of the farm by the
Carvers, Mrs. Bosanska asked permits
sion to take Elise with her on visit to
a neighbours house less than a mile
away.
Suspectin2 No Evil,
Mrs. Carver allowed the child to go, and
from that day to this has never set eyes
on little Elise nor her abductorS. No
alarm was yet felt by the parents at the
absence OF the woman until after dark
that night, when it was discovered that
the cows were still in the pasture and
that BOsanska, whose duty it was to
drive them in and superintend the milk
ing, was absent also. The other
hands at the farm were at once
started out in every direction
and the st. Joe police department was
ductors, but without result, as they
made good their escape with the child.
Mr.. Carver was driven temporarily in
sane by the affair, and thus the forts
of the father were much handicapped.
Several detectives were employed, how
ever. and numberleSS false clues have
been followed to resulteSS end. One
officer of an Omaha agency located the
child in LeavenWorth, and trip to that
city by the parents proved only that the
detective was mistaken. Later little
Elise figured in the papers as having
been left by her abductreSS on the door
step of an Omaha residence. In
investigation showed, however, that
this was another Elsie entirely, and
that the Carver baby was still among
the missing. About three months ago
when hope had been almost given up,
Minneapolis, which she says is in the
handwriting of the Bosanska woman,
and which read as follows:
Mrs. Jennie Carver, st. Joseph: Elsie is
not bin we'll three weeks or four. Alvorod
takes her back with you for to hundre doleT.
LoRA BosANsKA.
Write general delivery for Minneapolis.
A Chicago detective was employed on
the case, and at his suggestion Mrs.
Carver refrained from handing the
communication over to the Minneapolis
police department. in order, as he eX-
pressed it, that he might not be ham
pered IN his operations by publicity of
the facts in the case. Decoy letters
were written to the BOsanskas, but either
they had become wary or had been in
formed of their danger in some way, for
the decoys were never called for. A
couple recently living on the Bohemian
flats in Minneapolis. under the name of
KOhOr, have been occupying the atten-
ton of the Chicago official for the past
few days. He has discovered that when
they first came to Minneapolis they had
with them child so
Fair of Complexion
as to cause doubts of their claims to it's
parentage. Subsequently Kohor went
to work as mill hand, and was known
along the river as big Aft" The child
disappeared shortly afterwards, and
was said by the Kohors to be with its
grand mother in st. Paul. Several per-
sons living on the flats who knew the
AOilOl loiIliys Gay ulletU OhOJ SoihS w NOs
Paul direct from Poland and have never
been out of this state until both
disappeared mysteriously few days
ago. The officer says, however, that
he has ample proof of the identity of
KohOr with BoSanSka, and the deScrip-
tons Of the two tally precisely. The
belief exists that the child has been
adopted by ST. Paul or Minneapolis par
ties, and that the Bosankas are in hid
ing in one of the two cities. 1t is con-
fidently expected that arrests will be
made to-day or tomorrow, as the de-
tectives claim to have located the much
wanted Polish couple pretty closely.
Mrs. Carver, the child's mother, has.
since the disappearance of Elsie, been
in constant condition of nervous ex-
element, and her physicians state that
unless the child is restored to her the
terrible nervous pressure under which
she exists will result in her death.
