MuSkOgee Boy Solved 1t for
His Aunt.
He Kidnapped a Girl and Took
Her Home.
HES OUT ON BOND NOW
Rode to Town and Swung Girl
to Saddle Bow.
She Is Happy and COntented in
New Home.

Muskogee, Ok, July 13.-House-
wives have discussed the servant girl
problem ever since there were girls
and problems, but it was two farmer
answer. Will Edwards aunt, Mrs.
Lee Edwards, needed a hired girl, but
could not find one
That's easy; I'll get you one" said
William. So he mounted his big bay
horse, rode ten miles into Muskogee
with Charles Martin to help if he
needed assistance, picked up Minnie
simpson, o years old and good look
ing, swung her to the saddle bow be-
fore him and bore away not a bride
but servant girl for his aunt.
True, Edwards and Martin are un-
der $500 bond on a charge of kid
MAPPING the girl, but they do not seem
to mind and Minnie says she is salts
fled with her new job, and the boys
rather give the officers the laugh
when they talk about that kidnapping
charge and the officers, to be honest,
look rather sheepish about the af-
fair.
Minnie Simpson lived in Muskogee
and her mother was planning to place
her in a convent last Monday morn
ing. But Sunday afternoon Minnie
disappeared. Her mother started a
search, believing she had been kid
mapped or lured from home, and as
time passed her fears appeared to be
we'll founded. 1t was said two boys
were seen to ride in from the coun-
try, pick up a girl on the street,
swing her upon one of the horses
and gallop away. The mother of the
missing girl promptly swore out a
warrant for the arrest of the two
men, charging kidnapping.
Edwards was finally located at his
aunts home. Minnie was there also,
but she was about the most cheerful
subject of kidnapping plot since Pat
Grove made the business popular.
Would she come back home to Mus
kogee and mother and lay charge of
kidnapping against Edwards and Mar
tin? Yes, she would-not! Minnie
was just as happy as she could be do
ing the homework for Mrs. Edwards
and Mrs. Edwards was equally happy
to have a hired girl at last.
So the officers brought Martin and
Edwards in and they were formally
charged with kidnapping and each
placed under a bond of $500

POULTRY INSTITUTE.
Topeka VIII Try to Get National
Association Office Moved Here.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Topeka Poultry association held
Friday night at the Commercial club
rooms it was definitely decided to be-
gin an active campaign to secure the
permanent headquarters of the Amerf-
can Poultry association for Topeka
The American Poultry association is
the largest live stock organization in
the world, numbering more than 5000
members and increasing at the present
time at the rate of more than 1000
life members per year. The plan for
the permanent headquarters include
not only the executive officers of the
association, but also a national poul-
try experiment station and a national
poultry college institute.
eff Topeka is successful in the pro-
posed campaign" said Ralph H
Searle, a Topeka member of the as

center of the poultry industry of
America, an industry which last year
produced more than a billion dollars
of wealth 1t will not only bring to
Topeka the offices and office force of
the association, but it will also result
in scores of poultrymen wishing to en-
gage in the pure bred poultry business
moving their plants to Topeka and vi
entity in order that they may be near
the national poultry headquarters and
easily accessible to the hundreds of
poultrymen and students throughout
the country who from time to time
will visit the experiment station. or
matriculate in the college. More than
that, it will advertise Kansas through
out the world as no other Kansas in
stitution has ever DONE"
The plan of the campaign for Sc
curing the headquarters as decided
upon Friday evening provided for the
formation of joint commission to
be composed of three members each
from the Topeka Poultry association,
the Commercial club, the AID club and
the Real Estate Dealers association.
The committee chosen to represent
the poultry association on this COM
mission is R. H. SearIe, G. d. Nc
Claskey and H. NJ. Bush.

Travis is not running for any public
jobs this year. But his Topeka statement
is just the Unborn feeling of the rank and
