The abduction of little Goldie Wor-
den-or Hibbard, as her proper name Is
created considerable excitement on
| the street Thursday noon. Just as the
smaller scholars were emerging from the
high school building at the noon hour
closed carriage, containing a man
and woman, drove up. Jumping out,
the man accosted Goldie, who is only 8
years old, and after few words,
picked her up, threw her into the
wagon and drove off. They were fol-
lowed by Constable r. M. Piatt and
overtaken at Foster. The man proved
to be the father of the girl, Ed. Hib-
bard. Her mother died when she was
a baby, and as the father was disso-
| lutte man, she gave the child to It's
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin
Ferris. Hibbard now lives in Bing-
hamton, and has repeatedly tried to
entice the child away. Last year the
grandfather had an order from court
granting him the custody of the child,
and Hibbard signed a paper relinquish-
| ing claim to 1t. He and the woman
were brought back here, and after a
hearing before Squire Eastman, both
were ordered under bonds for appear
ance at court in sum Of 5000. AS this
goes to press, a writ of habeas corpus
| is issued and testimony being heard to
recover custody of the child for the
! grandparents.
