ANDERSON, Feb. 19.-Special.-Little
Ethel Gamble, aged eight years, was
kidnapped from the Colubai school build
ing in Lakewood this afternoon at ;
o'clock by her father. Gustavious Gam
bic of Boone county. Arkansas.
The abduction was one of the most
daring ever attempted in this county
and may implicate Chief of Police Walk
err and Pauolman Pence as parties to the
abduction.
Eleven years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Gam
bic were married in Arkansas and four
years later were divorced. the child be-
ing placed by the court in the custody
of the mother, who was later married
TO her present husband, Charles Nick
olson.
Upon four different occasions has Gam
BILE tried to obtain possession of the
child by litigation, but upon each oCca-
sion his wife has been successful as a
defendant. About one year ago Nickol-
son moved here from Davis county and
has since been living on Forkner-st.
Last night Gamble arrived in this city
from Arkansas and this afternoon, by
presenting papers, which it is now
thought were bogus, obtained the aid
of Pauolman Pence in securing the
child.
They secured a closed cab and drove
TO the school house where she was at
tending She was called from the room
and when once out in the hall Gamble
grabbed her, and despite her cries car
ried her down the stone steps and de-
posted her in the cab and ordered the
driver to go to Pendleton. where he eX-
pected to catch the st. Louis limited.
The mother heard of the abduction in
few moments and by her attorney
caused his arrest at Pendleton just as
he was getting on the train. He was
brought back to this city tonight and
is now behind the bars.
Her attorneys will file a fifteen-thou-
sand-dollar suit against Chief of Police
Walker and Patrolman Pence tomorrow
morning as being parties to the abduc-

The Tifin (O) Tribune this week con-
tains "A long article concerning one Han
nah 4. Ennis, who IS wanted in thai
city to answer the charge of securing a
lot % household goods under false pre-
lenses and shipping them to her son in
Walkerton. Ind. In the course of write
up following the history of the woman,
the Tribune says. 1T is said Mrs. En-
mis- first became notorious when her hus-
band was found one evening hanging 10
a rafter in their smoke house, dead. This
occurred on the farm occupied by the
couple near Goshen. Ind. Upon investi-
eating the matter of her husbands death
il was found that the man had been
strangled and then hung up to the rafter.
The smoke house door was locked from
the outside, and in searching her clothes
the officers found the key TO the door in
one of the pockets Of her dress. She
was promptly arrested for the crime,
and during her Incarceration previous TO
the trial she threatened that if she was
found guilty she would ruin every Off
cial in the court house. While the cir
cumstances surrounding the crime were
strongly against her, yet, through the
efforts of her counsel she was acquitted.
Later she removed with her children
to South Bend, where she was again
charged with having caused the death Of
her -year-old son by administering
poison. She had employed the most emil
nent counsel in Indiana to defend her in
this trial. and owing to his efforts she
was again given her liberty" 1t appears
that the name of this woman's first hus-
band was Sheatsley. The News has
been unable to find any record in the
court here relating TO such a tragedy
ever happening in this county. and some
of the oldest citizens interviewed upon
the subject have no recollection of the
matter.-GOshen News.

FRAUD CHARGED.
Dissatisfaction Concerning the Ticket
Nominated in johnson County.

Discrimination Concerning the Ticker
Nominated in johnson County.
FRANKLIN, Feb. -Special.-Never
in the history of Johnson county has there
been SO much dissatisfaction manifested
over the democratic primary election as
that held i'm this county Saturday.
The county committee was called TO
meet today at the court house, which
was packed with an angry crowd.
So strong are the charges of fraud
practiced in Blue River township that
the inspectors of Pleasant and Ninevel
townships refused to turn in their tally
sheets to the canvassing board until the
county committee should decide whether
the ticket as nominated stand or another
primary be ordered. If the committee
agreed on the first the vote would be
returned; If the latter then they would
be entirely withheld. The central COM
mittee was called TO meet this afternoon
in the county school superintendent
room and a stormy time was had. The
crowd patiently waited their return and
decision.
Among those here from Edinburg is
Will Threlkeld, who addressed the COM
mittee in favor of another primary being
held. He charges fraud in the selection
of the ticket nominated, and he believes
that under the circumstances every man
thereon should ask to be set right
through another primary. Three-fourths
Of the crowd here today make angry eX-
pressions over the ticket and the fight
and ill-feeling aroused is spreading.
At Edinburg this morning petition
containing many names was being cir
culated calling on the democratic county
committee to call another primary. The
Blue River democracy is badly worked
up and frauds Of the most gigantic kind
are openly charged by some of the best
men of the township. w. NJ. Neal was
given six votes, but Edward Cutsinger
has the names of forty men who will
make affidavit that they voted for him.
Although o. w. Tingle had no OPPOSE
ton. the board awarded him fifty-two
votes. The talk today was ia have the
Blue River vote thrown out altogether.
