Dose'd to Have Been kidnapped by
an Indiun.

HAYWARD, Wis, July 22.-On Tuesday
ol thls week family named johnson,
consisting of parents and two small chill
85oren, were camping out in the vicinity
OF Spooner, Washburn county, Wis,
gathering blueberries. Toward evening
the Youngest child, a daughter about two
and one-half years old, was missing. The
parents at once set about IN search, and,
although the child was but very few
minutes missing, their search was UNI
awaiting. Notice was promptly sent to
the village of Spooner, and citizens
turned out en- masse and began the
search. Parties were promptly organized
and forming line in which men walked
abreast about twelve feet apart, they
secured the woods and brush thoroughly
IN every direction, through swamps and
sloughs, all Tuesday night. Wednesday
morning the marshal organized a party
and resumed the search, which has been
Kept up night and day since, but with
out avail. The parents are overwhelmed
with grief. Their anguish is ten-fold
augmented by the current rumor that the
child had been stolen by the Indians
who were berrying in that vicinity, one
OF whom is reported as saying that if he
was paid $50 he could find the little one.
This demand for ransom thoroughly
aroused the people, and vengeance is
threatened the guilty party if appre-
hended unless the child is given I'D.
There has for some time been some i'll
feeling existing between the father of
the child and a certain Indian in the
neighborhood, and threats have been
made against him. This fact gives
credence to the theory of abduction.

IN Kentucky. Richard Lukens, Jr, mar
ried Shoemaker's stepdaughter, Miss
Lillian Jones, some three years ago.
Shoemaker was Miss Jones' guardian,
and upon her marriage he was called on
for an accounting. Seemingly he had
run through with a large sum left her
by her father. Suits were brought in
the courts and bitter feeling resulted.
Last evening Shoemaker, armed with two
large reyolvers, walked up to Richard
Lukens' gate, and finding the two young
men standing in the yard, opened fire,
shooting George in the right temple and
then sending bullet through Richards
heart as he was holding his babe in his
arms. Lukens, ST., hearing the firing,
ran to the scene of the trouble, only to
be met by the murderer, who opened fire
on him, shooting him in the thigh. Shoe
maker ran couple OF squares, and then
sitting down sent bullet into the alb
domen and was dead in a few moments.
