CASE OF KIDNAPPING
Gertie BeseIin and Mildred

ARRIVE HOME SATURDAY NIGHT
Claim to Have Been DOped M Il
Spirited Away by
Women.

Gertie Beselin and Mildred Thomp-
son, the two 13-year-old girls who
disappeared from their homes in this
city Thursday afternoon, returned TO
the parental roofs about II o'clock
Saturday night. footsore and weary.
and with a most peculiar story to
| tell. They claim to have been kid
mapped, and their account of the eN-
perience, while not very clear as to
details. is substantially as follows:
Between and ) o'clock Thursday
Afternoon. while walking south on
! Twelfth street. they were accostcl
near Seventh avenue by two women
dressed in black, who occupied a
closed cab. Upon going up to :he
door of the vehicle they were chic
reformed or otherwise deprived Of
their senses. and knew no more till
Friday morning. Then they found
| themselves all alone in dense woods
some miles out in the state of Iowa.
Hit the Trail.
They found n road. SO they say.
and followed it. after Il time reach
ing Blue Grass From that place
! they went ON to Montpelier, west of
| Buffalo Somewhere in that vicinity
! they spent the night at farmhouse.
and there a number of men tried to
enter their room. Saturday mornin"
they travelled ON to Buffalo, where
couple of citizens had them cared
| for at a lodging house, and in the ev-
ening paid their fare to Davenport.
Both were exceedingly glad To get
home. and promise never to leave
again. which latter would seem to he
rather unnecessary in view of the
circumstances related. The mem
hcrs of the families of the two girls
place implicit faith in their story.
and believe that there was plot
laid to spirit them away for some
travelling show troupe with which
their musical ability might be made
capital Of. The entire account. as
related to an Argus reporter. was
broken and disconnected, the kidnap-
ing feature. especially. being. to say
