ENGINEERS, PAY is RAISED.
Employees of Rock Island System 4
Get Increase December 1.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Engineers of all
local freight trains and of the heavier
switching locomotives over the entire
Rock Island system will have their
wages materially increased December
/. The general adjustment committee,
representing 571 engineers of the Rock
Island road. has just finished confer
ence with the executive officers of the
company, the result of which will be
an adjustment of the wage schedule
satisfactory to the employees. For
years, it is claimed, the engineers of
local freight trains and those on
switching engines on the Rock Island
have been paid wages considerably be-
low the standard of other lines. Con-
ductors, brakemen and firemen in the
Rock Islands local freight service
have always received more remunera-
ton than those employed on through
trains. This was for the reason that
the local service, which includes the
trains that load and unload freight at
every station along the road, entails
$50 per cent more work than is requir-
ed of crews in charge of through trains
making few stops.

kIDNAPs HIS OWN CHILD.
Bloomfield Father is An Alleged Fu-
qitiYe for kidnapinu.

Bloomfield, Nov. 22.-(Special) I'D.
F. Cavenaugh, formerly of this city,
is an alleged fugitive from justice on
the charge of kidnapping, the specific
charge being that he forcibly took his
own child from the custody of its
grandparents with whom it had been
living for some years, the latter claim
ing that the father has no right to the
present possession Of his own flesh
and blood. Some of the trouble seems
to be over a second marriage contract
ed by Mr.. Cavanaugh after the death
of his first wife some two or three
years ago. kilograms have been sent
to surrounding towns for the purpose
of apprehending the alleged fugitive
and application for writ of habeas
corpus has been made to Judge Eichel-
berger now holding court in Ottum-
wa.
g The Story.
Mr.. Caenaugh formerly resided
here where he was manager of the
electric light plant. He married a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George Har-
ris of this city. To this union was
born a girl, Vera, now secen or eight
years of age. The first Mrs. Cave
uduSl Qleu anu alter suitable Tune
the bereaved husband married Miss
Ruth Mccormick. In the interval the
! child was placed in the keeping of its
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. George,
Harris, they claiming that their daugh-
ter gave them the child on her death
bed. On the second marriage the
father claimed his child and it was
taken from the custody of those who
had cared for it after the decease of
| its mother. The child, Vera, however,
cried herself sick for her grandparents
and finally became in such state of
health that it was deemed advisable
for them to have her care and custody.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris claim that they
took her withthe understanding that the
father was to reiinquish all claim to
her and with this agreement in view
have kept her.
Wednesday night Mr.. Cavenaugh,
who now resides in Jefferson, Mo-, Wis
tied this city. Yesterday morning he
it is alleged, procured carriage and
lay in wait for the child while she was
on her way to school. 1t is said that
he went up behind the child, seized her
in his arms, placed it in the waiting
vehicle. drove rapidly away and has
mot been seen since.
lssThe grandparents will exert every
effort to reclaim the girl The affair
has causd small sized sensation
there.
