Julia c. Cabanne, Of No. G305 Ca
hanno avenue, the most fashionable
district of the city, this afternoon.
There is no clew as to his where,
abouts, save telephone message
from an unidentified man saying the
lad had been taken to Louisville.
While playing with comrades in
the noighborhood, the child was IN
duced to go to another street block
away.
Calling his grandmother over the
telephone he sail, "Grandmamma, |
am going over on Belt avenue for a
few minutes. | will be right back"
This happened at 6 O'Clock, and
after thai the grandmother saw no
more Of him Early in the evening
she was called to the telephone by
an unknown man, who did not give
his name. He said. Il was given 81
by a woman to help her place a boy
on an Illinois Central train bound for
Louisville He will be taken care Of"
The man hung up the receiver
without allowing Mrs. Cabanne to
comment or question.
Shortly after mldnight Mrs. Ca,
banne almost distracted, summoned
