INCUBATOR BABY"
CASE UP AGAIN
Mrs. Barclay and Attorney to Be
Prosecuted for kidnapping
Child in Kansas.

The latest litigation over the "incu-
bator baby" which was first brought
into the lime light in the Rock Island
circuit court several years ago, will
come up at Holton, Kan, during May.
1t will be remembered that last Aug
ust after Mrs. Bleakley, who claims to
be the real mother of the child, had
won her case in the Kansas courts,
the little girl was kidnapped from her
home by Mrs. Barclay and an attorney
named Tillottson, and the three reach
ed Kansas City before the officers
overhauled them. The kidnapers were
arrested and the child was returned
to Mrs. BIeakley. The coming trial
will be on the charge of kidnapping.

The steamer Morning Star, newely
arquired by the Carnival City Packet

boat harbor yesterday from the south,
Captain Walter A. Blair of the COM
pany being In charge. The boat will
be kept at the Davenport harbor till
May II, when it will be taken to the
Kahlke boat yards to be overhauled
Captain Blair stated this morning that
for two months at least he would d.
vulge to no one, not even to the stock
holders of the company, just what line
of work would be taken care of by the
boat. But the popular opinion is that
he will place the boat in the excursion
business. He already has several
boats plying the packet trade along
the river and it is hardly probable
that he would place such boat as the
Morning Star in the packet trade. 1t
will make an admirable excursion
steamer.
