Famous Kidnapping Case.

$4,000 was the sum of money that
james P. Whitla of Sharon, Pa.
had to pay this week for the return
OF his eight year old son who has
been kidnapped and held for ransom
for nearly a week. The boy was
kidnapped from the school which he
was attending and was taken from
there to Cleveland where he was
held captive. Many detectives
were employed on the case but they
could not locate the kidnappers.
The father of the boy was compelled
to leave the large sum of money at a
designated spot on Monday after
noon and after the money had come
into the hands of the abductors, the
boy was placed upon street car and
sent to the Hotel at which the father
was waiting. A strict search will
likely be made to locate the me n
who committed the crime and it is
likely to 60 hard with them if they
are caught

the purpose of using their infu-

appears from their statements
that this county does not now

the present demands and conses
quently much of the raw mater

price of leather has been gradu-

been appealed to and they will
use their influence to have the

Former Washburn Lady has Thrill
ing Experience.
Bound, Gagged and Robbed
in Room. Place is Then
set on Fire.

Miss Isabelle Qvalle, No. Is.
West Saith street, New York, for
merly teacher in the kinder
garten department of the Wash
burn public schools, had thrill
experience last week when two
masked men entered her room,
bound, gagged and robbed her,
and then tried to burn her to
death by setting tire to the room.
The story is best told in Miss
Qvalle's own words which is as
follows:
Saturday morning about 3
O'Clock I was awakened by some
one knocking on my door. Miss
Ayton, my roommate, had gone
to Orange, N. j., Friday night to
visit friends and when 1 heard
the rapping I thought she had
returned unexpectedly. got
up and when I put my hand on
the knob the door suddenly
opened and two men one tall and
roughly dressed and a compan-
ion head shorter entered the
room.
1.-The two men put a revolver
to my throat and threatened to
blow my head off if I cried out.
While the big man pressed the
muzzle of the revolver to my
neck, the other man seized me
around the waist and dragged
me across the room to the side
of the bed. Besides a revolver
the taller man had a dark lam
tern whose rays he flashed
around the room.
"Then the little man released
me. and, taking a towel, made a
gag of it and forced it into my
mouth. His companion then tore
one of the sheets into narrow
strips with which both men
bound me to the bed. They took
two diamond rings and a gold
chain and two gold watches and
other jewelry.
after looking around the
room and finding nothing else of
value they set fire to the trunks
and left the room. The trunks
blazed up and set the curtains
on fire. I was almost crazed
with fright at the prospect of
being roasted alive and l began
to bite the towel that gagged me.
The room was filling with smoke
and I feared l would not be able
to scream. The flames were
creeping near me and l could
feel the heat. At length | sue
ceeded in parting the towel.
Then I screamed.
Miss L. A. Haase, who con-
ducts the house, and Ralph Sat
tele, a boarder heard Miss
Qvalle's shrieks and ran to the
room which they found on fire.
Last October Miss Qvalle took
out a fire insurance policy for
81 900 and Miss Ayton for $500.

DiSCOrd and Disorder
at the Insane Asylum
Calls for Investigation

RENO, March 6.-Trouble of
serious character faces the state in
stitution for the insane, near this
city. 1t is known that the governor
and other members of the lunacy
commission are investigating charges
of INSTRUMENTATION and lack of disci-
pine, and sensational results are not
unlikely. DR.. Gibson, the efficient
head of the asylum, will resign, al
though this is supposed to be on ac-
count of i'll health, rather than the
consequences of the present disturb
ance.
DR.. Gibson recently discharged
two or three of the help who could
not agree with the other employees.
DIR. Gibson was then taken seriously
Iii, and his assistant. DR.. Driscoll,
assumed charge OF the institution
and promptly fred two or three more
employees who had talked about
those let out before them. This led.
II Is said, to lax discipline and
charges and counter charges against
the management These latter are
now being Investigated and. Il Is
claimed. will be sifted to the bottom.

fall. Dr. Gibson will resign on ac-
count, primarily, of his ill health,
but it is said here that the present
unsatisfactory condition at the insti-
tuition has considerable to do with
his determination to step down and
out. There is said to be no chance
for DR.. Driscoll, the assistant super
intendent, to succeed him, and a
number of prominent physicians and
surgeons in the northern part of the
state are candidates for the superin-
tendency. The head of the asylum
has one of the incest jobs at the dis
posal of the state He draws a sal
airy of $500 year. and is likewise
given home. supplies. and even at
tendants.
