STEALS OWN Child.
Andrew Brown, Arrested al
Clinton, Returned to Mus
catine for Trial.
FORMER WIFE ON THE TRAIL
Father Escapes With Boy in Row
Boat from Home of Mother,
on an Island.

Kidnapping his own son proved seri-
Gus business for Andrew Brown, a
Muscatine man who has been making
his home in Clinton, for he was taken
back to Muscatine to answer to sew
eral serious charges lodged against
him.
The boy was secured by Chief Hud-
son and Omcer Burke of the Clinton
police department on information Civ
en- by the mother, now Mrs. Lille
kingan OF Mus catine. and a short time
later the father was arrested in a sa-
loon. Brown is now charged with kid
mapping, the Muscatine police having
several other charges against him.
He has relatives in Muscatine, where
he had made his home most of his life.
Mrs. Kingan told her story of the
kidnapping. She said that before she
secured divorce from Brown, he
bothered her considerably and tried to
take the children. When the divorce
was granted she was given the custody
of the children, she said.
Move to Island.
Last March Mrs. Kingan was mar
ried to James Kingan, and recently
they removed to an island near Mus
catine in order to be secure from
Brown. Mrs. Kingan said that last
Saturday night Brown appeared in
Muscatine and waited around there IN
til last Thursday morning. She took
her husband across the slough separa-
ting the island from the city, and left
her boat moored to the shore while
she went to town to do some shopping.
Brown had taken the boat and gone
across to the island, where he took
the boy, in spite of a spirited tussle
with his eldest daughter. Using the
boat, Brown crossed with the boy to
the Illinois shore. They walked for
a considerable distance along the
shore until they reached the bridge,
going across it to Muscatine and on to
Clinton.
