Girl Stolen Eighteen Years Ago Returns ts
Her Relatives.

Her Relatives.
Owosso, Mich. Aug I4.-Eighteen yeaTa
ago Jennie Finch, girl of 10, was stolen
from her home in Grand Rapids by band
of.Gypsies, and after fruitless search she
was mourns as dead. Her mother died
and the family scattered, brother and
sister moving here. She has discovered
her relatives here and relates some thrill
ling experience. The leader of the gypsies
who stole her was BARLEY German, who
was afterward hanged for killing his wife.
He once gave the girl kick which nearly
caused her death.
While she was in a critical condition
from the wound the gypsy applied the
lash. Her screams were heard by an Off
Ger who liberated her. She was taken to
the hospital at Quincy, Ills, to New York
and Cincinnati. but she has never entirely
recovered from the injury. Seven years
ago she left the hospital, and afterward
married a mason named Dekloe. They
now live in Cincinnati. Last week she
visited Grand RIpids in search Of her
relatives, whom she feared We're all dead.
When she found her crother and sister it
was Il most happy reunion.

The Case of Sunday Tarret Practice

OMAHA, Aug. 1.-The court martha! of
Col onel William Worth, of the depart
ment of the Platte, has begun at Fort
Omaha. He was accused of ordering Pri-
vnte Cedarquist to rife practice on Sun
day. Major Worth explained that he
thought state of war existed, as the
troops were expected to be called to Chi
cago daily. As Lincoln's order against
Sunday work applied to times of peace ii
was suspended, the defense argued. The
laws of the army were introduced and il
WAS shown that Lincoln's order was not
contained therein. The prosecution ar
gued that the rule was not suspended, a.
