GIRL
IS KIDNAPPED
Eight Year Old Gladys Mel
son Disappears From
Aunt's Home.
FATHER THOUGHT GUILTY
Man Who Neglected Family and
Finally Deserted Them, Be-
ieved to Have Repented.

Little S-year-old Gladys Nelson, liv-
ing with her aunt, Mrs. Christopher
Rohde at 297 Sohl street, was kid
mapped yesterday at noon and at the
present time no trace of her can be
found. From all appearances 1t is prob
able that the affair is a family trouble
but the grieved relatives who have
taken care of the child since the death
of her mother are leaving no stone
unturned to ascertain whether 1t was
the girls father or stranger who was
responsible for her disappearance.
Gladys was sent to the grocery on
the corner of Sohl and Sibley streets
yesterday morning about Z o'clock to
buy some groceries for her aunt After
waiting over an hour for her to return
the latter became alarmed at her alb
sence and started out to investigate.
II was learned at the store that a man
was seen talking to the girl and later
induced her to walk away with him.
That was the last seen of her by the
store keeper or any of her playmates.
Search Is Begun.
Mr.. Rohde was at once notified by
his wife and a systematic search was
begun TO find a trace of the little girl.
The police were notified at once. but
they held out small hopes of recover
ing the child If it had been taken
across the state line. The address of
the little girls father in Chicago was
secured and the aunt has gone to Chi
cago to ascertain if possible. IL the girl
is now in his possession. In the mean
time Mr.. Rohde went toward Roby
where he watched all outgoing trains
and street cars to stop if possible any
attempt of the kidnapper to escape ii
that direction. Not a trace of the
kidnaper or his victim could be found
The most probable theory is that the
father of the child became possessed OF
| a desire to care for the child again and
| took this means TO secure her. Mr.
Nelson, it is said, had mistreated his
/ family and it was not thought that he
/ would care to support the child again
/ II is thought probable, however, thai
he has been married again and thai
/ this has inspired him with a wish Il
/ take the child.
First Wife Dies in October.
/ His former wife, the daughter of Mrs
/ Rohde. died last October and her tive
children were given to Mrs. Rohde 4
/ rear by the express wish of Mrs. Mel
/ son. This seemed satisfactory to al
| concerned as both children were brigh
and of good dispositions. As III,
father never seemed to care for tn
| children it did not seem probable tha
he would trouble himself about tn
transaction. The man disappeared afte
the death of his wife and was no
seen by his relatives for more thar
a year. Last Sunday, however. the.
met him at a picnic party and he i
said TO have asked TO care for tn
child at that time but was refused b
! the aunt.

RECORD CROWD
At BIG CIRCUS
Hammond the Mecca for
Surrounding Country
Saturday Night.
FINE FEATURES AMUSE
Hagenbeck and Wallace Show Voted
Best Ever By All Who
Saw Performance.

The Hagenback and Wallace circus
showed to one Of the largest crowds
ever assembled for a like attraction in
Hammond Saturday night and the
show more than came up to the advance
mans claims. Old folks left their
homes Saturday night and were chill
dren again, and in fact every one in
Hammond who could get away Satur
day night were at the big show. The
attractions exhibited by the Hagenbeck
Wallace people were undoubtedly the
best ever seen in the Calumet region
Early in the evening the crowds fiocked
inside to the tent and as soon as the
doors were opened the people crowded
inside in crowds all eager to get their
moneys worth of scenery. J.. Before the
opening performance the children and
the older people as well. adjourned to
the west side of the tent where the anil
mails were on exhibition and the little
children derived lots of enjoyment by
feeding the elephants and monkeys.
The menagerie is the largest travelling
one in existence and the management
certainly deserve credit for securing
the different animals they have on exhi-
bition
Hardly an animal known to the hu-
man race was left out OF the Hagen
beck Wallace menagerie.
When the big show did open every
seat in the tent was taken and hundreds
of people were compelled to stand up
for lack Of seats. The trained Polar
bears were the center of attraction dur
ing the first part of the performance
here the trainer went inside and wres-
tied with the big bears as though they
lwere children, after the bears had been
taken from the cage an assortment OF
Ediffeerent animals We're brought in. con-
sisting of lions, panthers, hyenas, and
tigers. Again the trainer illustrated
how adeptly they were trained by hav-
ing each OF the animals lie down in q
row and then lying down upon theil
backs; at his command each anima
arose and walked back to their stools
Among other features were horse back
riding, aeriel stunts, and some of the
best trapeze work ever witnessed IL
Hammond was done before the crowd
In fact it would be impossible to des
cribe the different feats that took place
but one thing can be said as a certainty
land that is the Hagenbeck-W Wallace
shows came up to the expectations anC
fulfilled every promise made in theh
elaborate posters which were flooded
over the town.
Immediately after the performance
was concluded the big tents were tori
down and the crews began packing UP
Over 600 people are carried by the shov
and 1T was quite interesting to watcl

miles beyond the scene of the outrage.
Posses were at once organized in
Gary, Toleston, Hammond, Crown
Point, East Chicago and Indiana Har-
bor. Sheriff Carter Deputy Sheriff
Jimmy frost and Bailiff Frank Shine
started from Hammond in an automo-
bile, armed with shot guns and rifles,
while like parties started out from 9TH
er points. From Crown Point an auto
mobile with three bloodhounds were
sent to the scene by J. Farley. Work
in field and in shops was at once stop
ped and the men took up the chase
The only description of the assaliant
is that a colored man was seen running
down the Wabash tracks Immediately
after the affair with his coat on his
arm, and acting in an excited and sus-
picious manner.
Coroner Hoskins of Gary was soon on
the scene and at his orders the body
was allowed to remain where it had
been found, until the blood hounds
were brought to the scene. The big
animals were given the scent and with
| baying that could be heard for a long
distance tugged at their chains and
with two expert scouts holding them,
they took off through the underbrush,
with the posse following closely. The
affair took place about mile south
| of Toleston and the trail led in a north
erly direction.
For an hour the indignant and angry
men came pouring into the place where
the outrage occurred and It was no.
tfced that each and every one of them
carried a weapon of some sort or
lother. Not since the wild Man" hunt
has there been such an exciting scene.
The men who took up the chase were
simply crazy with anger. and threats
of vengeance were heard from all sides
as each man pictured his own home and
like possibilities to his own little girls
and they were determined to make an
example of this arch fend. The party
under capable leadership, at once
spread through the woods, while the
watching the railroads and the high
ways to head off the fugitive.
The police officers under Sheriff FREQ
S. Carter will uphold the law and try
to place the culprit in irons. but the
pursuers posse may take things in their
own hands.
There have been several such out
RACES committed during the past few
months and the people are bound tt
take matters into their own hands ir
this wild country.
The little girl was only years o.
age and is the daughter of Mr.. anC
Mrs. William sSchrader, who reside
south of Toleston. The girl was one OF
a large family. and was the pet of the
neighborhOod. The mother was heart
broken over the affair and cannot b,
pacified. The father. employed as
steam shoveler, was beside himsel
when he was informed of the murdel
of his child. He swore to kill the as
sassin on sight and no one of his fellow
workers uttered a word against such al
act. In fact. there were but few in tn
mob that counciled patience and Law
abiding spirit.

Along Generous Lines.

Fears that the Nickle Plate de-
pot would not be constructed this fall
have now been dispelled by the appear
ance of a gang of men who arrived
Saturday to begin work on the con-
struction of the foundation.
Their instructions are to begin work
as rapidly as possible and push it to
completion.
Already the foundations have been
dug and hundreds of yards of concrete
thrown into the excavations. The fif-
teen men employed in this work are
being rushed to the limit so that there
will be no further delay in its con-
struction. Already the outline of the
building may be seen and as far as
size is concerned 1t will be a grand
building. The length will be 12O feet
and the width as wide as the narrow
stretch will allow is about % feet.
The entire space has been boarded
in around the foundation so that there
will be no hindrance to the carrying
on of the operations. Now that the
double track has been completed and
the new train service installed the au-
| thorities are anxious to see the COM
pletion of the depot. The two new
trains which the L. S. and NJ. S. pro-
missed to put on at the completion OF
the double track have been installed
one arriving at Hammond at 7.O5 a. m.
going west, and the other at 6.02 p. m.
going east. These two trains are de-
signed to carry the working men II
