Two Men, Woman and An Auto Fig

Woman's Voice Pleading, and Later
Auto Disappears With Only Two
Men Aboard-Mystery Unsolved.

Special to Times Republican,.
Hampton, Oct. 26.-For several days
past there has been a persistent rumor
current here to the effect that foul play
with perhaps murder as a result, had
been enacted near here.
Several days ago residents in the
vicinity of Beed's lake, two and one
half miles northwest of this city. re-
ported to the officials that the night
before they had heard the cries of some
one. apparently a young woman. and
from what could be heard, the woman
seemed to be in great danger from two
men and was heard to beg of first one
and then the other not to harm her.
The cries of the distressed person are
said ito have been heard at the Fred
Mensing home near the lake. and also
by Rev. Mr.. Neimand. pastor of the
German church. who lives at a greater
distance.
Two Men and a Woman Seen.
1t is reported that on the night the
cries Were heard an automobile con-
tanning two men and a woman was
seen to enter the grounds and some
time later to come away with only
two men aboard. This, together with
the pleadings of the woman, gives rise
to the theory that it may have been
a case of murder, with perhaps GRIM
inal assault beforehand and the body
thrown into the lake to hide the crime
Enough credence is given to this the
DRY at any rate, that the water has
been drawn off until it is lower than
has been known before for many years,
and the remainder of it dragged in an
effort to recover the body of the I'M
fortunate girl if any is there.
Mystery Not UnraveIed.
Local officials have been working on
the case in an endeavor to unravel the
mystery, but so far with little success.
There is not the slightest clue as to
who the parties We're or what their
motive.
Why. those in the neighborhood who
are said to have heard the cries of the
young woman. did not go to her relief
or at least telephone to the officers in
this city, is not known. 1t would have
been the work of but a few minutes to
have disabled the automobile or taken
it's number. even if they did not wish
to attack them openly. Or a telephone
message here would have brought an
armed posse in a. few minutes without
any danger to the informants. So far
the wholeS affair is shrouded in mys-

DIES MONIES IN TWO WEEKS
Many Applications for Babes Already

of Proper Care and Treatment Be-
fore Adoption is Permitted.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des MONIES, Sept 26.-Those who
ind 1t necessary or desirable to adopt
children or forego the pleasure of hay
ing a baby. in the house will be given
an opportunity to secure either boys
or girls. A whole car load of babies is
to be sent to Iowa and will reach Des
Ncines in a couple of weeks for dis
tribution.
Applications has already been made
for forty of the babies at points out
side Des Moines in Iowa. 1t is thought
that like number will be wanted for
adoption by families in and around
Des Moines.
The babies are to be sent from the
New York. Founding, and Orphanage
asylum. This is an immense institu-
ton in. New York City, directed by the
Sisters of Mercy. The idea in sending
the children into the west is because
the heads of the institution realize the
chance for finding homes in which the
children. can breath pure air and get
good food are numerous on this side of
the Mississippi
Babies are given out for adoption
only to families where it is assured
they will get the best of care. Most
of these live dollies are under 4 years
OF age. People wanting them can desig-
nate whether they want boy or a
girl, the color of eyes, hair and any
other Details and the officers of the
New York institution will put baby

,cn the car. @s.
Can Return Children.
Foster parents can return the chill
dren to the institution if the children
turn out to be cross or for any other
reason up to the age of IL, but if they
are kept after this, it is expected that
the children are to remain in the home
in which they are placed until they are
Of age.
Monsignor NJ. F'lavin, pastor of the
St Ambrose church made the an
nouncement in Des Moines of the COM
ing of the babies. He will look for
children and report to the founding in
stitution. All applicants must have a
recommendation from the pastor of
the church they attend.
All Go to Homes.
Children adopted from founding in
situations go into homes on practically
the same plan as tho they We're the
real children of the foster, parents The
children are taught to call their new
found parents mamma and papa,y and
ARE treated insevery other way like Off
spring of the families. T know of the
cases of many adopted children who
do not know they are not the real chill
dren, and the attachment between the
parents and children is as great as tho
the supposed relationship really exist
ed. One young man 1 know in Dav-
export was left a farm worth about
$4,000 by his foster parents
Officials from the New York insti-
tuition will be on the car with the
babies, which will remain at one of the
depots until all of the children booked
for here are called for by the appli-
cants. The exact date the car will
get here has not been fixed, but it will
