known here today when Mrs. McNein
Wilson, Of Dade City, Fla. arrived and
claimed her daughter Loula, who had
been stolen from her home nine years
ago. A man named Miller was board
ing with Mrs. Wilson. He was eccen-
trio and wrote a book: Twenty Years
a Tramp, or a Trip Through He'll" He
disappeared. taking the child with him.
A few months later the little girl was
found and taken home.
Not long afterwards she was again
stolen by a young man named Hender-
son and not until today had tho mother
seen her child.
Henderson evidently represented Mil
ler, for the latter, now living at Lake
City, a few months ago sent the girl
here under the name of Mary Young.
He said the child was an orphan and
care on his hands and as her grand
father came from this state, Miller con-
fided her to the Ursulin convent here.
She is a bright, attractive girl and
was taken into the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. E. G. Sandifer.
She knew there was some mystery In
her life and as soon as she had gotten
away from Miller began to make inves-
LEGATIONS into the matters referred to
in a letter of Miller's which had fallen
into her hands. She got the names Of
parties in south Florida and after
weeks Of correspondence found her
mother.
Mrs. Wilson had heard of her daugh
ter being in a convent in Selma, Ala /.
and had heard of her indirectly a num-
ber of times. Once her elder daughter
went to Canada on a fruitless errand
in answer to letter. Two years ago
the mother received a photograph of
her child but the postmark gave no
clue.
She left here for Florida today and
expects to find the relatives gathered
to receive the lost child. The reunion
of mother and little one was affecting.

went from Charleston to Florida dur
ing the Indian war and having captur-
ed leading Indian chief, was made a
captain in the United States army.
