LITTLE GIRL KIDNAPPED
CHlLD.S SCREAMS ALARM MAN
WHO STOLE HER, AND HE
TAKES TO HIS HEELS.


Grand Island, Nebr., Sept. What
is considered as an attempt at kidnap-
ping, or a worse fate for the little one,
or the action of some half.witted per-
son. caus considerable excitement
in this city yesterday. On the pre-
vious evening the little eigh' -year.old
daughter Of Mr. and Mrs, McAllister
was forcibly dragged away from in
front OF her fathers store, taken
through an alley, and only released
wnen her cries were presumed by the
criminal to attract attention when
she ran back TO the store unframed
with the exception that her little arm
plainly indicated the force the man
had used.
The little girl had come down town
with her mother at nine 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, Nc
AlliSter hitched and went into the
store. The daughter stood on the
outside Of the dor, leaning against it,
when man walked up and took her
by the hand, leading her away She
was at first not alarmed, thinking the
man was playing with her. But
when he made for across the street
and the opening of alley she became
| frightened, and particularly so when
upon entering the alley he told her
she would never see her father and
might just as well come along quietly.
The little girl tugged away with all
her little strength and the man took a
iirmer hold on her upper arm, drag
| ging her into the alley. She then
began to scream and her captOr let go
of the arm and made tor the rail-
road 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 description as the little girl was
able to give, but the offender has II, +
been apprehendcd. Charles Russell,
an employe Of The Koehler hotel, was
arrested but not identified 10y the
little girl, and the testimony of his
fellow emplOyeSindicateS that he was
IN bed at the time 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 inves igation it is conc uded
by the police that the man is limo
cent and that it was the act Of some
stranger.
