MRS. VIM. SANDMAN
Returned to Madison from North
Dakota and Placed Under
Bonds of $1,000

Sheriff Butts returned by the north
train this morning from McClusky,
Sheridan county, N. D., having in
charge Mrs. VIM. Sandman and little
Esther Herreman, alleged to have been
kidnapped by Mrs. Sandman. details of
which have been published in these
columns.
Mrs. Sandman and the little girl
we're taken from the train to the Office
of Justice Maitin where the former
was arraigned and waving prelimin-
airy examination che was placed under
bond Of $1,000 to appear in circuit
court for trial. Mrs. Sandman g bond
was promptly signed by her father,
Edward Matz, and Ferdinand Angus

the custody Of the sheriff for the time
being. and was placed in the hands of
her father under certain conditions.
the sheriff notifying the father that he
would closely observe her treatment
while in his care.
Mrs. Sandman was met at the train
by her husband, father and other fam
lily relatives. The father of the little
girl, whom he had not seen since last
March, was at the train and attempted
to caress her as she stepped from the
| coach, but he was repulsed, and ap-
parently becoming excited the little
girl entwined her arms about Mrs.
Sandman's waist and sobbed convul-
sively. This brought tears to the
eyes of Mrs. Sandman, and partial
ly concealing her face with her muff
she wept softly. Thus they walked
along the crowded depot platform, the
child clinging to her companicn's
waist and crying as if her little heart
would break, fearful of the separation
she perhaps realized and dreaded. The
little child was very tidily dressed and
appeared we'll cared for by Mrs. Sand
man, whose family is well to de.
Like all other cases of this kind
there is much discussion and senti-
ment expressed, and summing up all
the surrounding circumstances the
sentiment is in the majority in favor
of Mis. Sandman. From the discus
zion that has been going On the past
several days 1T is summarized that the
little girl has been in Lake county
from the day OF her disappearance In
March last until about three weeks age
when she was taken to North Dakots
by Mrs. Sandman who went there on
u visit with relatives. In court per
haps the case will be proven far from
kidnapping and ONE very touching
circumstances will be revealed.
