s!!sss " ;,sr father. Nc
Allister. has thrown but little light on
-the mysterious disappearance. The
Aherin ID armed with writ OF habcass
corpus. and he Is determined that 1t
shall be served, ana that McAllister
shall be brought into court to show
gcnuse why he has kept his daughter a
prisoner. Private detectives have been
called into this highly sensational and.
sinteresting Gaze.
Yesterday Sherlff Sides was In the
! city TO gatisfy himself that Mary Nc
Allister ID not being detained here.
WHith q private detective he searched
numerous boarding houses and all the
hotels. Not the slightest trace was dis,
covered. Then the improbable rumor
that Mary 1icAllister was being kept at
Greenville was started. 1t proved to be
chief knows nothing and Is not inter-
ested In; the case. Allithe depot and up
town ticket Offices were visited, but no
the McAllisters could be found to have:
purchased tickets.
But still 1t Is almost certain in the
minds OF the officers that the unwilling
girl has been taken out of this city by
her irate and determined father, who
has avowed that she shall never be-
come the wife OF Mcnamara, the man
she says she loves. The theory Is that
n t..f
Catholic institution and have her kept
there. One detective who Is working on
the case said last night that he be-
lieved Mary McAllister was taken to
Omaha. where he father intends plac-5
ing her in the Sacred Heart convent of
that city. An officer will go to Omaha
to investigate this theory.
It Is known to the officers that y. j.
Hapeman. superintendent of schools in
Dakota City. brought ]. j. McAllister.
and his daughter In his buggy to Sioux
City early Saturday morning. On his
+ way over Mr.. AicAllister spoke of stop
ping at the Columbia house, Fourth
and Water streets. which is not far
( from the Iowa end OF the bridge. Mr..
Hapeman drew up in front Of the hotel
and sAdcAllister then changed his mind
and was driven to Fourth and Douglas
streets. where he and his daughter left
lsthe vehicle. Mr.. Hapeman says this is
& the last he saw OF them. and he would
! have had no hand In the matter II he
had understood II. He left them stand
4 ing on the corner. McA1lister is we'll
known in this city, but the detectives
can find no one who saw him or his
daughter IN the city during Saturday.
A detective who went to Dakota City.
TO work on the case says he positively
knows that both McAllister and his
daughter We're in disguise. They bor-
rowed a change OF clothes from a
friend. II also is his opinion that they
left the city, and that they did not &c.
very far. McAllister, IT happened, was
not very literally supplied with money,
4 having, II is said. not more than So.
which he had borrowed. It8can not be
found that he secured any more money
In this city. Some OF the officers have
visited the homes OF friendssof McAllis-
ter. and none OF the friends have seen
him.
It Is said by one officer that AIcAllis-
! ter is supplied with a revolver. and that
Z he As determined that his daughter shall
not get away from him.
The case is attracting wide attention.
and public opinion is about equally di-
vided. Some predict that unless hos
Titles cease bloodshed is liable to re-
Z suit.
w. C. Mcnamara was In the city last
evening. He has nothing to say. and
has not been to Dakota City since the
s recent trouble.
