KIDNAPPED AN HElREss.
But the Rascals Fell Out and the Young
Girl Escaped.

Rock Island Railway Agent Fisher
of this city received the following from
Harrington yesterday:
"All Agents: \ 15-year-old girl was
kidnapped here last night by tall,
heavy set man. with rather long black
whiskerS all over his face. dark eyes,
light coat. dark pants and shirt; belt
around waist, SLOUGH hat, with broad
rim. He was joined in country by two
men with q wagon with two horses
one dark. one not seen, but had one
light or white foot. The horse rode by
heavy set man, was dark and no sad
die. If seen try to detain them and re-
port here by wire. They are reported
to be well armed and have some stolen
valuables in wagon. The girl escaped
from them. Notify your citizens.
wv p. BOSSART."
From what could be learned of the
affair the little girl was the daughter
of Engineer Clark of the Rock Island,
who recently fell heir 10 quite for
relative The kidnappers found the
girl on the streets of Harrington and
made away with her After having
travelled few miles the three kidnap-
pers INDUCED in a row among them
selves and Miss Clark escaped and re-
turned to the city. When the railroad
men heard of the kidnapping they arm
ed themselves and started on the trial
of the kidnappers, determined TO kill
them if the could catch up with them.
They Were unable to run them down
and hence the notice sent out yesterday.
a telegram received here late last
night said that two of the men had
been captured at Marion.

,COULD NOT AGREE
JURY ON THE LANE CASE UNABLE
TO REACH A VERDICT.
After Remaining Out for Twenty-Four
Hours and Taking Twenty-Five Ballots
They Were About Equally Divided
Upon Examination All Agreed That
Agreement Was Impossible and They
Were Discharged--JudGe Reed Lays
Down the Policy OF His Court--The
Policy of the City IS Outlined.

| At 7:20 last evening the jury in the
| case of S. f. Lane against the city was
| discharged after being out twenty-four
| hours
| Judge Reed intended 10 leave them
out until morning, but after examin-
| ing them about the probability of agree
ment, he changed his mind. He ques-
toned each one Of them separately and
all Of them agreed that agreement was
impossible.
While out the jury took twenty-five
| ballots and they stood Z TO or 8 to 6
in all the ballots. the last one being Z
to >. Judge Reed complimented them
upon their diligence and honesty and
then said: 1T is not the policy of this
!, court to bulldoze jurors into finding a
verdict. All / want is a fair and honest
considera ton of the testimony and if.
after thorough consideration, jurors
cannot agree there is no sense or JUS
tice in Furnishing them by father con-
finement in the jurors ROOM"
The jurors were mighty glad that
they We're dicharged.
This case has been watched with con-
siderable interest by the citizens gen.
orally. Mr.. Lane fell on the icy pave
ment on February g. 1898. The fall
hurt his hip quite seriously and ever
since he has been using clutches. He
sued the city for $40, 500 damages. His
contention was that if the pavement
had been constructed properly 10 water
would accumulate and hence no ice.
The claim of the city was that the
pavement was constructed according
10 the established science of building
pavementS and that the gutter and
drainage facilities were adequate to
carry off the ordinary precipitation of
water at ordinary times. In this in
stance God was the only power that
could prevent ice from forming at the
specified place and hence the city was
not responsible of any neglect what
ever. If the plaintiff received damages
under such circumstances" counsel for
the city argued, there is not city in
the world that could not be bank
rupted during a winter by similar &C
cidents."
1t is the settled policy now of the
city to fight all cases brought against
