ensued, but no trace could be found
of her. At last suspicion fell upor
Lawrence Grow, but until his arres
he denied all knowledge of her where
abouts. Later he confessed that he
had been employed by the ROSES to
see that she had got away.
$500 TO Hush It Up
1t is said that Mr.. Grow, ST., offered
Mr. Haas $500 to drop the matter
and not prosecute his son, but tina
the offer was refused.
On the 18th of February the Roses
left the city for their farn up near
Stark postoffice, and young Crow say
that the arrangement was that If he
got the girl off without being discov-
cred he was to stay In town a day
two and then go out to the farm from
which he and the ROSES would go t.
Goodrich and take the train there for
Hutchinson or Atchison, Kansas. But
this plan was knocked on the head by
the suspicion aroused and he feare
to go to the Ross farm However,
he finally went home and was soon
after arrested The fact that Grow
got no word to the ROSES may have
alarmed them and the deputy sheriff
may find the birds flown when he
reached the farm Tuesday.
Was Good Girl
The fair fame of the girl in the
case has never been assailed and it is
not likely there is any wrong doing
on her part which would make dis
appearance advisable. On the con.
trary she has been much attached to
her home always and when separated
from her people had been homesick
and had only consented to work out
where her people have been close al
hand so that she could frequently see
them. What would induce such a
young girl, scarcely out of short dress,
es, to make such long trip alone
and go among utter strangers is GER
tainly a great mystery.
Had Narrow Escape
In her mad escapade Tina was near
ly caught at the start. Her father,
John Haas, had been on the other side
of the river on the day she fed and
returned on the very train his foolish
daughter took for the south. How
he escaped seeing her at the depot
Is mystery, unless the girl saw him
and hid until he passed.
Did the Roses Furnish the Money!
According to the story told, young
Crow bought her a ticket to Mime.
apolis and gave her money to buy a
ticket from there to her DESTINATION
and expenses. This money, it is said
| was furnished by the ROSES. Why
they should do it is one of the unan
swered questions.
Warrant for Mr.. and Mrs. Ross
On complaint of the girls father
a warrant was issued by Judge Gil.
bert Monday evening for the arrest
! OF Mr.. and Mrs. III. A. Ross, and De-
putty Sheriff Morris went out to the
Ross farm, about 40 miles northeast
of this city, to serve the papers. He
is expected to return to the city with
the couple sometime today, and their
preliminary hearing will probably oc-
cur as soon as they arrive.
Rosses Had Much Trouble
Some time last spring the Rosses

named Curtis. They had sort OF
free-for-all fight, the outcome being
that Ross had Curtis arrested charg.

the defendant was acquitted, and since
that time, it is understood, there has

tween the two families. However,
just what bearing this had upon the
case, If any, will be brought out at the
preliminary hearing, which promises
to be quite interesting.
It is understood that the Haas girl
