Grundy Center.
According to the Democrat the trade
outlook for Grundy Center so far for
the year 1902 is highly encouraging.
Every business man in town engaged
in the general merchandise, clothing
and dry goods business reports that
his sales so far for the year far sur
rasses those of any previous year. The
increase in the volume of business is
due to the greater liberality farmers
use in buying and the greater efforts
our merchants have put forth to pro-
cure large and saleable lines of goods
that are sold at prices that neighboring
towns find Il difficult to compete with.
Parkersburg.
A great many rumors are af1oat In
regard to the kidnapping of a young
girl in Parkersburg Monday afternoon.
The story told by the girl is that she
was grabbed and lifted into passing
carriage as she was crossing the street
and carried into the country west She
claims that she screamed and tried TO
escape, but the man held her In the
buggy, threatening to shoot her. When
about four miles southwest of town he
was obliged to use both hands to con-
troll his team and the girl jumped from
the buggy and ran to farm house.
From there she walked to her home in
Buck Grove. The story is scarcely
creditable and no doubt will be further
investigated.
