Young Hoagland had been frequent
visitor at the Arnold residence sni be-
came very well acquainted with the
family affairs. While he was in Jail a
few days ago he became quite conn.,
DENTAL with fellow prisoner. aud
during their daily visits Hoagland told
his friend that he knew where Mary
Arnold was, saying that she WAS
at her aunt's, Mrs. Crowfoot, near
White Cloud. After Hoaglsnd was re-
leased on bail the prisoner told the
sheriff what he had learned from Hoag-
land. and Sheriff Mcqueen and Deputy
Leonard went ~ White Cloud Friday
morning. When the officers reached
there they learned that dozen fam.
lies by that name lived in the country
several miles out. but the livery rigs
were ali out and the officers could not
make the hunt during the day. Sheriff
Mcqueen returned home and left Dep
uty Leonard to look for Mary. At

and started out through the logging
roads OF Newaygo county. After driving
for some time they learned that dance
WAS IN progress IN y barn in the
vicinity aud that two brothers by the
name of CrowfoOt were violinlsts for
the occasion. The officer thought per-
haps Mary might be at the dance and
they drove over to the barn and the
driver went In while the officer re-
manned outside.
He Found the Cir.
The driver could not find q girl an
swerIng to Mary's description and he
finally asked one OF the Crowfoot boys
If he knew where he could find a good
girl and was informed that q girl was
stopping at his uncle's, Leonard Crow
foot, few miles from there who came
from Grand Rapids and wanted to
work. The two men acting on the tip
received started across the country for
Crowfoot's. The road angled through
slashings and pine stumps and the
drive was a tedious one.
About O'Clock in the morning
they found q little one
story shanty at which they stopped.
A knock at the door soon convinced
them that they had found the right
place and that Mrs. Crowfoot and the
girl we're alone in the house. The
officer stated his business, and the
woman refused him abundance.
After the officer threatened to break
III the door the woman opened it and
let him in. Mary was in bed but got
up without any hesitation and began
dressing. She remarked to the officer
that the authorities would not admit
her INTO the Adrian institution, and
Mrs. Crowfoot explained matters by
saving the girl was enclente.

city for fifteen days after she was re-
ported missing and that Hoaglsnd and
her mother got rig from Liveryman
Shafer and drove her out of the city
on the way to her aunt's one night.
This was the time that Skaters hOree
