ABDUCTED A YOUNG GIRL
Three Hundred Citizens
Would Like to Lynch Him.

Rochester, Ind, July 2s.-One week ago
Sheriff Feltz of this county received no.
tice from Michigan warning him to look
out for a stranger headed this way with
a buggy, believed TO have been stolen.
About the same time an unknown man
stopped at the farmhouse of William Ber-
ger, southwest of this city, representing
that he wanted to employ a girl to work
on his farm near this city. Miss Nellie
Berger agreed to accompany him and the
two drove away together. Failing within
a day or two to hear of their daughter
the parents began making inquiries, and
they discovered that there was no such
farm as described by the stranger and
that he had drixen in an opposite direc-
ton, abandoning the horse and buggy at
lion, in Marshall county. after which the
girl and man both disappeared. Last
evening a man supposed to be the abduc-
tor was see min the timber eight miles
from this city by some berry pickers. A
girl was with him and evidently made
an effort to escape to the women. The
man used such violent language that they
were frightened away. BY daylight this
morning 800 men were patrolling the road
surrounding the timber. which is 400 acres
in extent, along the banks of the Tippe-
canoe river. Bloodhounds have been Sc
cured and a careful search is being made.
There Is talk of lynching.
