STOLEN DAUGHTER IN EAST.
A LONG DlscouRAelNe CHASE

Mrs. Mary Guthrie Of Norfolk, After
Hunting All over the East, Located
Her Daughter In Erie, Pa, Saturday.
Sacrificed All to Search.
After searching the eastern half of
the American continent for almost a
year in search of her little daughter
who had been kidnapped by the father,
Mrs. Mary Guthrie of Norfolk, who
has charge of the dressmaking depart
ment of the Johnson dry goods store,
was finally rewarded in her chase by
finding the child late Saturday after
noon at Erie Pa. The long hunt for
her child took almost everything Mrs.
Guthrie owned in the way of worldly
possessions, but she vowed she would
never return to Norfolk until she had
been successful in the search. She is
expected back in this city within a
few days.
The story of the kidnapping of the
little daughter Is pitiful one.
How the Child Was Stolen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Guthrie had been di-

he to pay 500 per month alimony for
the support of the child. 1t was
agreed, however, that the father was
to see the child when he desired.
During the holidays last year Mrs.
Guthrie was in Chicago, where her
daughter was in a convent The IA

she was brought to him by Mrs. Guth-
RE. While they were talking, the
father picked up the child In his arms
and walked to the door. The mother
believed he was leaving and intended
to carry the little girl only to the door
way. Instead, however, he walked
out of doors and quickly broke into
a run.
The mother followed when she real
ICED what had happened. But the
man was quicker on his feet. He ran
to the corner of the block, turned into
a side street, jumped into a waiting
cab and was gone when Mrs. Guthrie
arrived. From that moment until Sat
urday not word was learned of the
father or child.
Mr.. Guthrie had married after the
divorce. He was finally located al
Guthrie, Pa, and the child given up
Mrs. Guthrie had sold nearly every
thing she owned for the purpose OF
continuing the search for her stolen
child.

folk, Stops Chicago Wedding.
The following dispatch from Chica
go concerns Rev Charles e. deuel.,
well known in Norfolk, who visited
for some time last summer at the
home of his fatherin-law, rev. j. G..
S. Wells of this city. The dispatch
says:
Because the costume of Miss Lima
Mae Haines fell several degrees below
that standard OF completeness set by
the canons OF the Episcopal church,
the union of two loving souls was
nearly stopped at Edgewater on
Wednesday evening.
Miss Haines was not herself one of
the loving souls; at least, she was not
one of the contracting parties to the
impending marriage.
She is the organist in the Presbyte-
rian church in the north shore suburb
and had consented to act in the Epis-
copal church at the special request of
Miss Margaret Burr, daughter of Or.
Burr, aud Alfred Johnson, who had
arranged to be married on that even
ing.
Bolh Miss Burr and Mr. Benson are
Presbyterians, but, owing to the fact
that the Presbyterian church is under
going repairs, ii was impossible to use
1t for the ceremony, and rather than
delay the interesting event it was
agreed to use the Episcopal edifice in
Edgewater.
Everything went smoothly up to the
point where ii became incumbent upon
Miss Haines to take her place at the
organ.
The bride, in the custody of her ia
Their had arrived on the scene. The
groom stood at The altar supported by
the best man.
All that was necessary was a little
music to start the bridal party on its
journey to the altar.
The Rev. Richard Rowley OF Rogers
Park was waiting at the church and
Miss Haines shufied her music, dis
carded her wrap, and prepared to
leave the study for the choir loft.
The young woman was prettily clad
in a decollette gown and was without
hat. She was about to leave the
study when Rev. Charles e. Deuel.,
the rector of the Episcopal church,
cleared his throat and said:
MY dear young lady, where are the
rest of your clothes?"
Miss Haines paused aghast, and hur-
ried to a mirror. She carefully in
