perado who attacked pretty Gladys
Price and held her prisoner in the
hills for thirty hours, Ia still at large.
The man hunt still continues and IL is
hoped that the man will yet be capa
tured.
Miss Price has given the details of
the attack at the school house.
At IL o'clock Monday morning, a
man, well dressed, appeared at the
school house, the sinister thing, about
him being that he carried a gun in one
hand and q bottle in the other. from
which he had evidently been imbibing.
He asked her to go away with him and
she Of course refused. Thereupon en-
sued the struggle, the traces OF which
were evident in the little building, to
those who sought for Miss Price Tues
day morning. The mans strength was
considerably greater than that Of the
girl and after what was something of
a rough and tumble fight for some time,
ne forced her to accompany him. This
was not effected, however, without the
dire threat that II she did not so with
him and at once, she would be straight
way shot on the spot
Continued TO Struggle.
Miss Price, however. continued to
resist. Then the man put the gun down
and literally dragged the girl by main
force out of the lonely building and
over the ground to the hills. All the
way Miss Price did her best to escape,
and the effects OF her struggling have
been evident to the searchers from the
pieces OF clothing which have been
picked up.
From IL o'clock Monday morning UNI
til o'clock last evening she was with
the man on the hills and then she even
tually persuaded him to let her go. II
seems that he wanted to get some
matches and being put to 1t to find
some expedient whereby he might re-
tain the girl and yet visit farm to OBJ
tain the light, he resolved that he had
better after all be rid Of her.
Surrounded by 200 PsopIs.
About 200 people surrounded the To-
cation where the man Is known to be
and his capture is put down as fore
gone conclusion. Should he not then
be taken couple Of blood hounds that
have been brought out from Winnipeg
will be employed and by that means
secure an arrest.
Feeling here runs most high and It is
feared that it will go badly with the
man IL those who are In authority are
not with the crowd when a capture is
made.
Strange to District.
The assaiIant told the girl that his
name was Bill Miner, but whether that
is his right name or not Is doubtful.
He also told her that he had recently
robbed a train. Miss Price supposes
that he is an eastern harvest hand.
Certainly, she says, he does not know
the district round about here and that
fact would go to make his capture
probable. He has been on q tlareshing
gang for some time.
When they were on the hills, che man
let Miss Price light a fire and she
straightway thought that by this means
she might attract attention. She COM
menced to pile on ticks to make good
blaze but her asgailant got wise to
this and ordered her to put out the fire
at once. One Of the terrifying expert
ences for the girl was coming through
the severe thunder storm that ragged
here Tuesday. while sitting in an ex-
posed part OF the country.
All work was suspended here on
Tuesday, men dropping harvesting OPP
erations and everything else In the en-
deavor to search for the girl. From the
many signs 1t could be seen that there
had been struggle. The first thought
was that she had been murdered and
the search was conducted towards ind
ing her body, so the relief that wasfeh
ON her return can be imagined.
II was earlier thought that young
man whom Miss Price knew might
have had something to do with her dis
appearance. but the man who made her
go with him was absolutely unknown
to her.
Miss Price, who IL 20 years Of age,
is leading one posse to the scene OF the
secluded spot where she was kept FOR
thirty hours. She Is resident Of
Hfnch. Ont.
