ROUATREE GIRL !. DISAPPEARS FROM SCHOOL
Circumstances Indicate that Mother Kidnapped Child and Then Fled to Texas or Some Place in New York.

Caroline Sheehan or Rountree. as she Is known in Bis5ee, aged I2 years. was boldly Kidnapped from the Critten- ton home at Phoenix, where she had been placed at the instance of the Charity Board of the Bisbee Board of Trade and Truant officer Riggbs- man. This was done because her mother was considered an unfit per son to have control of her
 It would appear that the mother was the kidnaper. having made threats of that step several times al ter she was separated from the child. It is thought locally that she and her child are in Texas. although she de clared before leaving here that she would take her to New York.
 The following account of the kidnap-1 ping appeared in 8, Phoenix paper of recent date.
 "Twelye-year-old Caroline Sheehan, sometimes called RouRdtree, commit ted to the custody of the Crittenton home by Judge Doan, was Kidnapped last Thursday or Friday while on her way to the afternoon session of one of the city schools. Circumstances in- dicate that the girl was Kidnapped by her mother Mrs. Roundtree of Bisbee from whom the child was taken by order of the court sometime ago on the ground that Mrs. Roundtree was not a fit persn to have charge of her.
 "Sometime ago the home manage ment was appraised that the mother of the child was likely to come to Phoenix for the purpose of making | trouble. so the little one was watched as closely as possible, but as the days went by and nothing occurred it was | not thought necessary to keep her out of school merely to guard her. About | a wek ago a woman called at the I home and stated that she was the mother of Caroline. She visited her there a few times and finally dis appeared last Thursday or Friday, the date not being definitely stated. Caro- I line who usually went home to her l dinner, was about twenty mint W.s
 late. Questioned by the matron as | to the reason, she said that one of l the pupils had lost her lunch and the teacher kept them all in until it was found. which story was probably
 an exaggeration. About 2 o'clock the same afternoon the school superin.
 tendent called up the Crittenton
 home and reported that one of the
 teachers had informed him that Caro
 line had not returned since the noon
 recess.
 "A general inquiry was at once , started. It was learned that g
 strange woman had called ct the | school in the forenoon and held few | minutes' conversation with the girl The police were notified of the cir cumstances and immediately began :
 search of her. Hardly had they go
 nicely started, however, until soR
 woman teIephoned the marshal's of
 flee that the search need not be con tinued further as the child had beer , found and was all right. WhtIhc she said she was speaking for th' 5 ] Crittenton home or not. the officer ? so understood it and the search wal
 abandoned. It is now believed tha ! the woman who called the officer ! was Mrs. RouRdtree who then hat l possession of her daughter and sough 2 to block any move that had beel made to interfere with her plans

Although it has been well known for nearly a month that B. A. Packard, Probate Judge Goodbody and H. E. Berner, clerk of the Board of Super visors. were being investigated by the grand jury. yet no official con firTmation of the fact can be obtained those at Tombstone who are in a po- sition to say.
 It has been the talk. more or less, Of $he CocdiSe county press from time to time, as various ruR1ors of the doings behind the closed doors leaked out. yet the inquisitors hung out the nothing doing" sign in a prominent place when questions were asked for publication.
 It is said however, so persistent ruror declares, that among the other five secret indictments handed out by the grand jury Wednesday night Packard. Goodbody. and Berner's names will appear when the bench warrants are isued by Judge Doan What the specific charges are is an other matter. As up to a late houI last night no report could be obtain ed from the county seat in confirma dea of the serving of any of the war rants save the one upon E. G. Strick Ter hene. the nature of the charges re main a mystery. It is stated, how ever. with almost positive authority that indictments against the three men above named were returned.
