Little Mamie Schwartz, after an alb
sence Of nearly year, arrived first
Paul Yesterday morning. The story Of
the finding of the lost child at West SUI
perior was detailed in the GLOBE oil
yesterday, and when the Duluth train
pulled into the union depot yesterday
morning large crowd had gathered to
see her. Mamie. accompanied by her
father and Capt. Mart Gallagher,
of the West Superior force, alight-
ed from the sleeper and the
trio took a cab and were driven
at once to the home of the family on
Thirteenth street. The scene when the
mother again clasped her darling in her
arms was touching. and fol- fifteen min
utes after Mamie's arrival she was
Rugged and kissed by all the members
know YOU" the child would say as she
was embraced by first one and then an
other member of the household, 'tbut l
don't want to tell your name"
All during the day Mamie was the
center of attraction, and wherever she
and her parents went crowds of people
gathered to congratulate her father and
mother and say pleasing nothings to the
Young miss. Mamie is remarkably
handsome child, and during her forced
absence from home has improved
greatly. The Office of the governor was
visited, and from there the party,
including Mr.. and Mrs. Schwartz, Capt.
Gallagher and half a dozen relatives,
went to the court house, where an aft
davit was drawn up to be used by Capt.
Gallagher when he returns to West
Superior. This was deemed necessary
from the fact that the Allards. who
legally adopted the child, have sworn
out warrant for Gallagher's arrest on
charge of abduction. The authorities
intended to prevent Gallagher and the
child from leaving the state OF Wiscon-
sin, but they were
Over the Line
in Minnesota before the warrant could
be served. The affidavit. which was.
drawn up by Judge F. E. G. Bryant, of
West Superior, sets forth that the child
taken from tie Aliards by Capt. Gal
lagher and brought to ST. Paul is the
daughter of Valentine Schwartz. who
was kidnapped from her home on June
IS, 1892, and is signed by the parents Of
the child. Capt. Gallagher will remain
in st. Paul until Thursday. and it is ex.
pected by that time he will .receiye'the
$500 reward which was offered by the
governor for the recovery of the child
or information leading to her recovery.
In conversation yesterday Capt. Gal
lagher, who is extremely modest and
unasuming for police officer, andes;
peclally SO after doing such clever
piece of detective work, said he had0no
doubt but that The would be able to- To-
cate the woman who kidnapped the lit
tie girl. He did not care to go into de-
tails, preferring, he said, to walt until
some future time when he had looked
the case up more thoroughly. The
woman, he said, took the child to point
in Dakota after leaving St. Paul. and
from that place to Duluth and then to
Superior, where she was placed with a
family named LaYine. As the child S
board was not paid the Lavines, when
they left Superior, refused to take her
with them, and she was adopted bythe
Allards. This family being French, the
little girl learned to converse in that
language. andquite surprised her parents
with this accomplishment yesterday.
When asked as to the WOman's reason
for kidnapping the child Capt Gallagher
said he was not we'll enough acquainted
with the facts to speak positively, but
his idea was that the child had been
taken away for spite.
There mas been so much interest
taken by the public in the case, and so
many anxious to see the child, that it is
probable Mamie will be given the post
of honor on one Of the floats i'll the pa
rade tomorrow.
The Warrant at Superior.
Special to the Globe
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, June Big
Joe Alard, as he is commonly called by
his friends. is by no means satisfied and
content with having the little Schwartz
girl taken from him. Although the
child has been restored to its parents,
and identified in this city and st. Paul,
Joe still believes there is some mistake.
When Captain of Police Gallagher
returns tomorrow morning, he will be
arrested for kidnapping. 1t is claimed
he had no right to take the child, even
after she was identified, without the
proper papers, as Allard had legally
adopted the child. There promises to
be quite lively time before the matter
is settled, Joe says. The woman from
whom the Lavines got the child stated
that the little girls father had died soon
after her birth. He thinks the
woman is now in Chicago and
would know if he could see her.
The warrant for the arrest of the cap
tain of police has been issued. and he
will be taken in charge Immediately
Oil his arrival. There was considerable
trouble in getting in the warrant, as
several of the judges did not wish to be
connected in the matter. but finally a
warrant was secured, and everything Is
in readiness for Capt. Gallagher's re-
turn.
