Chas. f. Tym, an attorney OF this
city has recently returned from an
extended trip through Iowa, Illinois,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virgin
ia and rs a result of the trip he was
the means OF %re-uniting Mrs. VIM. e.
Berry of this city with her two year
old SON.
Mr.. Tym was in search of the paDy
which vas taken from it's mother, In
Mitchell, last November. The father
represented to the mother that he
was going to Iowa on a visit and ask
ed to take the child with him, stat
ing that he would be back in the
course of two weeks, but if the moth
er got anxious for the baby before he
returned, if she would write him he
would return sooner. After he had
gotten away with the child, he wrote
the wife from Iowa that he did not
intend to return to her, and upon re-
ceipt of the letter, RMS. Berry and
her father went to Iowa in an at
tempt to locate the child and her hus-
band, but could find neither. She re-
turned to Mitchell, and has been en-
deavoring since hat time to locate
the baby.
She finally employed Mr.. lynn to
go in search of the child, and he left
Mitchell the 9th of June going to
}. Bagley. Iowa, the last known address
of the father, but when he arrived
at Bagley he learned hat he might
be in either Herndon, Jamaica, Yale,
or Perry, Iowa. After carefully M
vestigating the different places, Mr..
lynn learned that Berry and his peo-
pie had so carefully guarded the
child hat the neighbors nor auth
critics in any of the above names
places knew its whereabouts. 1t was
learned, however. that Berry HAD re-
~latives at GAINESVILLE, O., and that
he had probably gone to that place.
Acting on this clue, Mr.. lynn went
to GAINESVILLE, o., and made inquiry
there as to the father OF the child,
but found information very hard to
get. He finally succeeded in gettlne
hold of the party who was night mar
shall at The time the child was
brought to GAINESVILLE, o., and this
party remembered that the grand
mother had brought the child there
and that he had helped her off of the
train to the cab at tie time she ar
rived, and that she had told him
that the child belonged to her son
and that the child's mother was dead

aFiling to get any more informa-
ton, Mr.. lynn informed himself as 10
the Ohio law for child stealing and
, went to the family who first refused
to give him any information, but up
on being informed that the Ohio st

r read, Furnishes an offender by impris'
: onment in the state prison from one

away or stealing a child unlawfully
these parties told where the child
: could probably be found, and that i
: might be found in either Wheeling
2 w. Va, Sheridan, Pittsburgh, Bea
YER Falls or New Castle, P%ennsylvan
it. Following this clue Mr.. lynn pro
ceeded from place to place, and fin
ally located the child in a private
s home for children in an out of thu
r way place at New Castle, Pa. He ais
learned hat the father had place.
: the child in several different familie
Y and private institutions during tn
i time that he had been looking afte
it, and that he had given differen
e names for himself and child at differ
e ent places. Whexe the child was las
kept, the father gave his name a
John Frasier, claiming that tn
t mother was dead, and placed tn
It child in the home under the name o
Walter Frasier.
After locating the child. the part
who had it in custody refused to de
n liver it until it was recovered by pro
h ceedings at law, but upon consulta
e ting her attorney. it was found un
der the laws of Pennsylvania tina
the mother had a paramount right t
s a child of tender age, a2d as a matte
of law could take it wherever sh
e found it. Mr.. lynn then wired tn
mother to come, which she did, an
she returned to Mitchell with he
e baby last week. This morning paper
s were signed which give the child in
s to the legal custody of it's mother.
