STORY OF
KIDNAPPING
]. w. Boor Takes Child from
Blind Fostor Father.
QUIET AS TO IDENTITY
Secures Son by Promise of
Shoes and Candy.
Blind Man PoweIless to Pursue
Father--Chlld is Taken From
Parent at Station.

Some quite interesting incidents
regarding the attempt OF J. w. Boor,
of this city to kidnay his child at
Gallon Friday of last week, have
been related since the announcement
of the affair, last Saturday. 1t de-
velops that Mr.. Boor went to Gallon
at very opportune moment and had
attempted the kidnapping while only
the foster father of the lad was In
the home. Despite the fact that the
foster father, George Farber, is to-
tally blind, Boor was defeated in his
project
Much excitement and stir was caus-
ed In Gallon following the affair ana
the people seemingly are prejudiced
against Boor since his attempt to
take advantage of the blind man. II
is stated there that Boor entered the
home and was urged by Farber To
be seated but was seemingly in great
haste Not knowing who his visitor
was, Farber suddenly thought of a
message which had been sent his
wife but recently saying watch, lit
tie Carl Nosely," from the mother of
the lad who was in his keeping. No
sooned had he thought of this, than
he began cropping about to find the
child only TO find that 1t had gone
with the visitor. He was helpless to
pursue the kidnaper.
Miss Klawonn, who had been EN-
ployed by the family saw the child
being carried hurriedly down the
street and started pursuit and the
scene which was referred to Saturday
was enacted at the depot as Boor
was awaiting the train to this city
The little lad says that he did not
want to go with his father but that
he was promised candy and pretty
shoes.
The Boor case is well known in
this city, the divorce proceedings
which were heard some time ago be-
ing of sensational nature Mrs.
Josephine Boor, the mother of the
child is now at Shelby and while
the proceedings are still pending in
court she Is looking after the welfare
of the child. Boor is employed here
