TRIES TO KIDNAP
Stranger SEXES Little Girl at
Grand Island.
ESCAPES FROM HER cAPToR


What is considered as an attempt at
kidnapping, or a worse fate for the
little one. or the action of some half
witted person., caused considerable eX-
element In Grand Island Saturday. On
the previous evening the little eight
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
McAllister was forcibly dragged away
from in front 81 her fathers store,
taken through an alley, and only re-
leased when her cries were presumed
by the criminal to attract attention,
when she ran back to the store un-
harmed with the exception of her lit
tie arm. which plainly indicated the
force the man had used.
The little girl had come down town
with her mother at Q o'clock In the
evening to get her father. who main
tains a fruit stand. and take him
home In the carriage. The father was
not at once ready to go home, and
Mrs. McAllister hitched and went into
the store. The daughter stood on the
outside OF the door, leaning against II.
when a man walked up and took her
by the hand leading her away. She
was at first not alarmed, thinking the
"a was playing with her. But when
no darted across the street and the
opening of ar alley she became fright
ened. and particularly so when, upon
entering the alley he told her she would
never see her father and mother again
and might just as well come along
quietly. The little girl tugged away
with all her little strength and the
man took a firmer hold on her upper
arm, dragging her into the alley. She
then began to scream and her captor
let go Of the arm and made for the
railroad tracks, the little girl running
back through the alley and to the
store. The father and others had by
this time missed her and had set out
to look for her. They returned to the
vicinity OF the store Immediately after
the girl had returned and at once gave
the alarm. The railroad men were
given notice and as much OF a de-
scription as the little girl was able to
give. but the offender has not been ap-
pretended. Charles Russell. an employee
OF the Koehler hotel. was arrested but
not identified by the little girl. and the
testimony Of his fellow employees in
dicated that he was in bed at the time
1 the crime occurred. Russell was given
a severe sweating process, the police
first believing they had the right man.
The Koehler hotel kitchen door Is close
to the alley through which the man
ran. After a thorough investigation It
is concluded by the police hat the man
Is innocent and that It was the act of
some stranger.

POWERS MUST TAKE STAND
Affairs In the Balkans iast Approaching
A Grave Crisis

A Grave Crisis
A London, September :. dispatch
says: So threatening y the Macedo-
nian situation that the powers are be-
ing forced TO take action sooner nan
expected. Emperor Francis Joseph, II
Is now learned. has brought the powers
TO a stage where n decision is about
to be reached regarding the character
of the Intervention that should be
adoued. IL is au~thoritatively denied
that the Intervention ~contemplates the
occupation of Macedonia by Austria
and Russia.
"You may reiterate," said a diplo-
mat who is participating in the nego-
tiations. to a representative OF the As
ISOLATED press. that the powers con-
tinue TO act in harmony. 1t is not true
that Russia has entered into a secret
alliance with Bulgaria. Roumania Is
auiescent. but there is an element of
doubt in Servia. in consequence OF the
predominence of the military in that
country"
'All the diplomatic advices availa-
ole here agree in the statement that
order prevails at Constantinople. The
few marines landed there from the
guard ships were merely for the pur-
pose of placing sentinels at the embas-
sizes as an extra p%recaution in view of
the porte's warning against ~insurgent
plots.
ID. G. Metaxas. the Greek minister
to the court of st. James. outlined the
Greek view of the situation. He said:
THE attitude of Greece is entirely
misunderstood. What my government
desires is the re-establishment' OF
Greece in Macedonia. The large Greek
population in that province is sub
jectet to atrocities by the Bulgarian
revolutionists. The Bulgarians are
worse than the Bashi-Bazouks. They
pose as %liberators. but they really aim
to Bulgarize Macedonia. Greece seeks
the welfare Of the whole Christian
population. The alliance between
rGeece and Turkey is solely for the
purpose of the re-establishment OF
peace and the protection Of the Greeks.
We have no political alliance. but we
are doing everything possible to main
tain neutrality"
