SUICIDES BY HANGING.
ANOTHER SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Ingre Anderson, of Springfield
Township, Hangs Herself in Her
Own Home.

1t seems to be an established rule in
Winneshiek county that tragedies of
a sensational nature occur almost
simultaneously, and together with
the excitement of the abducting of the
little girl on Sunday afternoon came
the news of suicide in Springfield
township.
Mrs. Ingre Anderson, wife of John
Anderson, living about three miles
southeast of Nordness, hung herself in
her home about noou. Her mind had
been effected for two or three years and
once last summer she wandered away
from home and came to Decorah.
Sunday morning she awoke as usual
and did her morning work. They
were expecting their son Andrew
Lee and wife from Decorah to din
ner, and she set the table early, having
the dinner all in readiness about
eleven O'Clock. Then she sat down in
the room with her husband to read, he
remarking that she was getting dinner
ready quite early, but she answered
that she might not feel like getting it
ready when the time came, and guess
ed she would go up stairs and lie
down. She had about forty feet of
binding twine with her, and as the
upper part of the house was not
finished, she hung the rope over a
door frame, making moose which she
put about her head and leaned for
ward, choking to death. The coroner
was called and the jury found as above.
Mrs. Anderson was about seventy
years of age, and leaves husband and
four children, son and daughter liy-

ABDUCTS HIS OWN CHILD
AND is HOrLY PURSUED TO CANTON.
Decorah Greatly Excited over the In.
humane Treatment Of Little
Kathryne Lott, by her Father.
Outcome of the Matter.

Seldom has DecOrah been in such q
whirl of excitement as when the news
Of the abduction of his child from the
home of its uncle, DR.. w. F. Coleman
by Charles F. Lott, of st. Paul, on
sunday afternoon, spread over the city.
There is no doubt that the father
had carefully planned the details OF
the taking of his child, as he had tried
to secure it several times since himself
and wife, Mrs. Kate Landers- Lott,
had separated and the child had been
under tie care of DR.. and Mrs. Cole.
man. Mr.. Lott drove into DecOrah
Sunday from Canton, Minn., with a
driver, and about 400 D. m. the horses
were driven to the alley in the rear OF
r. +. Gibson's residence, where the
team was halted. Soon Mr.. Lott, dis.
guised, came up the walk, where he
was noticed by several parties and
went up the alley to the rear of tn
Landers home, where his little daugL-
ter, Kathryne, was playing with a
little boy. AS he called her, she ran
toward the gate, but he caught her and
stuffing up her mouth ran with her to
the buggy and drove rapidly away.
The neighbors hearing the cries of the
little girl and knowing the circunl-
stances of the case, called for assistance
in stopping them. G. H. Doughty in
attempting to do so was greeted with
an invitation to. move on, and Lott
reached to his pocket for a revolver, SC
he got out Of the way. They drove
north and out on the Burr Oak road,
while Drs. Coleman and Copover,
Henry Reeves, /. n. Holmes and
several others started in hot pursuit,
some on wheels and some in carriages.
But they were unable to intercept
them before they crossed the Minnesota
line and reached Canton. Here they
stopped and Lott permitted the
authorities to arrest him, but told
them that he was the little girls
father and would hold them respon.
sible for her. The Decorah relatives
were notified and started for Canton
that evening, with Sheriff Christen
and Attorney Dan Shea, with a warrant
for the arrest of Lott and the driver,
but after deliberation an agreement
was reached between attorneys Shea
for DR.. Coleman, and Gray, for Lott
by which the child was delivered over
to the Decorah relatives and Lott was
given his freedom, it being the general
belief that in view of the fact that he
was the child's tather, and also outside
of the state, nothing could be done
with him. The child was returned tc
its mother, who came out from Chi
cago Monday, where she has held 8
position as book-keeper, and is now
safely dOmiciled at DIR. Coleman's
much to the joy Of all here.
1t is not improbable that it would
have Jared seriously for Lott If he haG
been captured before reaching Canton
for the people here were very much
en-, aged, and doubtless would hav.
given vent to their feelings in forcibl,
manner.
