HORACE MARVIN ALIVE.
KIDNAPPERS ASK RANSOM

slightest doubt that the lad was kid
mapped, and the motive for this is be-
leved to lie in the exaggerated stories
that have been circulated regarding
DIR. Marvin's wealth.
Not since the Kidnapping OF youug
Cudahy has a crime Of this kind creat-
ed so much interest.
State Offers Help
An indication Of THIS was offered late
yesterday when a bin was rushed
through the legislature appropriating
$1,000 for employment OF special de-
tectives to run down the kidnappers.
500 900 has already been offered by Dr..
Marvin for the return OF his son. A
bounty is also out on. the scalps Of the
kidnappers. The crime in this state
is punishable by death.
A resume Of the few clues offered
i'm the mysterious case tends TO show
that the lad was stolen by man and
woman, the latter dressed in mems
clothes. The two We're thought TO
have waited in a deserted cabin on
Dr. Marvin's farm until the opportun-
ity presented itself to grab the lad.
Ol Moiday dltttilooH mysterious
sloop was reported by the Marine sta
tion near Reedy Island. and as her ac-
lions and movements coincide with the
twp people seen In the cabin that az
ternoon, the inference is drawn that
there was a connection.
The $4,000 reward now hanging mp
has tempted some Of the best detec-
tives IN the country ana a small army
OF sleuths is now On trail OF the miss
ing boy.
"It seems 10 me plausible enough
that one OF tho lSldnappers was a wo-

COUNTY HAS BIG BALANCE

With the very snug balance of
$343,525.o7, Fergus county need not
worry particularly over the money
stringency. This sum was on hand
when the county treasurer got out his
report for the month ending Novem-
ber 3Oth and is even larger now as
several thousand dollars in taxes have
come in since that date to swell the
grand total.
Up to the time the delinquent books
were opened $500 tax receipts were
issued by Treasurer Chandler and his
deputy, James Croft, and. in round
numbers, $4,000 collected. The de-
linquent list will contain close to five
hundred names but the amoun. each
of them owes is small and the total
amount of delinquent taxes will not
be over eight thousand dollars.
There are approximately l35 more
