hour tonight
With the boy when he was met by the
woman was his brother Edward. two
years his Junior. The latter. who had
not seen his mother since he was years
old, ran when the woman stopped them.
but his brother was stopped and has not
been seen since by those searching for.
him.
The father, Joseph Lamenstrof of "a
Marion court, was notified of the kidnap-
ing by his remaining son, and the police
of the West North avenue station were at
once asked to begin a search for the
woman and child. 1t was learned mat she
visited a store on Milwaukee avenue and
purchased clothing for the boy. but no
further trace of her was obtained.
According to the story told by Lamen-
strof to the police. he was divorced from
his former wife in San Francisco several
years ago. At the time OF their separa-
ton he was given the custody of his sons.
and after that his WIFE he said. made
several attempts to take them away from
him
Detectives were given a description of

ing lived all her life in California. and il
is believed that she will remain in hiding

'At the time of my divorce from the
woman" said Lamenstrof. 81 made spe-
cial efforts to secure the custody of the
two children. She made a strong fight
for the possession of the children and
during the last three years wrote sew
eral times to me, threatening to take the
boys from me-"
I'VE were coming home from school
when a woman stopped us and asked us
where we were going" Edward said to-
night. II didn't know her and was scared
when she spoke to us. She asked where
we lived and said if we would come with
her she would buy US some candy and
some nice clothes to wear. Then I ran
away. / saw the woman walk away with

ARM OF LAW
MAY BE NEAR
AN ASSASSIN
San Luis Obispo Officers
Soon to Make an
Arrest.
Action at Faso Robles De-
ferred Until Evidence
Is Stronger.
Plans of the Sheriff Indicate a Fear
That an Enraged Community
May Make a Serious
Demonstration.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PASO ROBLES, Sept. 1.-THE officers
who are searching for the man who as
sassinated Charles P. Kuhnle on the road
about seven miles from this place a
couple of nights ago, appear to have
made considerable progress and it is not
improbable that an arrest tomorrow will
be the result of their endeavors
Sheriff Wins of San Luis Obispo County
and Deputy Sheriff McFadden, who is as
sisting him on the case, will not give the
name of the person who is under suspi-
cion, but that he is in or near Paso Ro-
bles is not doubted. During the entire
day the Sheriff has been busy in the ac-
cumulation of fragments of evidence, and
it is reliably reported that they furnish
adequate ground for the arrest of the
man suspected.
1t was intended that the arrest should
be made about o. clock tomorrow morn
ing about the time the southbound train
passes through, but the Sheriff afterward
deemed it advisable to defer action until
a later hour. So completely had arrange
ments been made that the prisoner was
to be hurried away before the people OF
Paso Robles could learn of the arrest,
taken to San Luis Obispo and thence to
Templeton, where he might be safe from
any possible demonstration on the part of
angry citizens. There has been deal of
talk ABOUT fyncnlng tnrOugnout the en-
tire region, and Sheriff WINS believes it
the part of wisdom to be careful.
A number of theories in regard to the
murder have their supporters. 1t is
thought by the officers that robbery was
not the motive for the crime, notwith-
standing that some $50 or $50 was taken
from Kuhnle. 1t is stated that Kuhnle
a number of years ago was involved in
quarrels with some OF his neighbors and
that some bad feeling was engendered,
but 1t is thought that any difficulties of
that nature have been healed by time.
Some hold that the deed was committed
by a discharged workman. The officers
state that some local difficulty is at the
bottom of Kuhnle's murder.
The funeral of the murdered man took
place here to-day and his body was
followed to the grave by large
number of sorrowing friends. Feeling is
running high in the neighborhood of his
home and ii is thought that the officers,
should they apprehend the murderer,
would have considerable difficulty in get
ting him to a safe place.

The Red and the Blue.

The latest big event at Hoisington
was the banquet in the basement of
the R. R. Y. NJ. c. A. building, on
the evening of Friday the 18th. The
town was divided into two gangs, -
one the Reds and the other the
Blues, to secure new members to the
association within a given time. The
gang securing the most numbers was
to be given banquet by the minority
workers. The Reds secured 2S4
members and the Blues 222-a
majority of 81 for the Reds. So the
Blues prepared the elegant banquet
served Friday night. The winners
sat at the table and were waited upon
by the loosers, while the latter, like
Lazarus, scrambled for what they got
on the floor of the banquet hall.
The addition of SOC new members
was the largest increase in member
ship of the association ever made
within the time given, and it secures
for the building a handsome pianola,
the present of Miss Helen Gould of
the Missouri Pacific. Hoisington
people are sure taking commendable
interest in their new institution, and
it will do the town a pile of good.

A Distressing Accident.

Another distressing accident occur
ed last Thursday in the west part of
Stafford county. Louis Asher and
family, who have lived in North Stat
ford county for the past three years,
were on their way to- Kiowa county;
where they are going to locate, They
were travelling by wagon, and hadnot
proceeded far, before a little four
year old daughter, in some manner
fell from the wagon, right under the
wheels, which passed over the body,
killing her almost instantly.
The grief stricken parents returned
with the mangled remains of their
beloved one, to the home of friends,
and laid the remains away in the Gates
Cemetery in Lincoln township, Stat
ford county, last Friday.
The death of this little one, and OF
Joicy Reigle, both particularly sad
ones, reminds US of the uncertainties
of life. On Tuesday of last week the
families of these little ones were visit
ing together. The little girls played
together as only little ones can, wholly
innocent of the impending accidents,
which each encountered. Their little
souls took flight about the .same hour
and day, and their remains we're laid
away the same time. Three short
DAYS from the time their parents be-
held them enjoying one another's
company, they are resting in their
last long sleep. The sympathy of all
goes out to both of the grief stricken
families, who must bow to the will OF
God in all things.
