Taken to the Home of
Priest; One Of Them
Disappears
Climax to Separation Of
Husband and Wife
Last May
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
That his eleven-year old son was
kidnapped yesterday afternoon is the
startling complaint that Frank Lau-
risch, a farmer of Danville, located
eight miles from Minnesota Lake,
has made to the authorities of Fari-
bault county.
The boy, Russell. the father says,
was taken by his sister, Alma at the
home of a priest in Minnesota Lake,
for parts unknown.
The whole trouble Is apparently
the result of domestic unpleasant
ness. Frank Laurisch and his wife
separated last May. The wife took
, with her the two girls, Alma, aged
twenty-five and Charlotte, aged ten.
The two boys, Russell. aged eleven,
and George. aged Fourteen, made
their home with their grandmother.
Mrs. John Laurisch, at Minnesota
Lake, during the winter for the
purpose of attending the public
schools. The whereabouts of the
mother end two girls have been un-
known to the father and boys.
Yesterday afternoon about three
o'clock, a young man by the name
of Mike Kapher, janitor of the Min
nesota Lake Catholic church, went
TO the school and asked for the two
boys, saying that some one wanted
to see them at the home OF the
priest, Rev. Father Holper. The
boys went with Kapher to the home
nf the priest. There, IL Is related
they lound their older sister, Alma
Wanted the Boys to Go With Her.
The young woman, II is said,
urged her. two brothers to 60 with
her to California, where their
mother was, SO she is reported to
have said. The older boy insisted on
going home, and taking his younger
brother with him, but, 1t appears
that the sister objected to this and
would not permit him to take the
boy home. She said she had pos
session and no one had any right to
take him from her, according to the
version Of the story, as II reached
The Free Press.
The older boy then left the
priests house and informed his aunt,
Miss Gertrude Laurisch, of what
had occurred. Miss Laurisch went
to the priests house and inquired
about the matter, and is said to
have received from the priest the
answer that he knew nothing about
the affair, except that the boy and
his sister had gone. Miss Laurisch
then made inquiries as to when the
girl. Alma, arrived, and the priest
is said to have refused to answer
questions.
Father Was Notified.

UNDERGROUND DANGERS.
Mining Is Not Most Hazardous Occu'
patton As Some SUPPOSE,

patton AS oome suppose.
For the last quarter of a century the
news Of occasional mine disasters has
been given prominent display in the
newspapers of the land. In addition
to these news displays, there have
been reports now and then Of serious
nine accidents in Europe and Aus
tralia. The result has been that the
general public now has the impression
that mining is the most dangerous Of
all occupations. But this is not true.
Recently the casualty statistics for
in other industries of the United
States, in the year 1911, were assem-
bled for comparison. The year 1911
was taken as basis because that was
the last year for which the federal au-
thorities had reports for the indus
tries. 1t was seen by the comparison
that, for each 1000 men employed, few
ar coal miners were injured than steel
workers.
Bulletin 60 of the United States bur
eau of mines, shows that in 1911 the
number Of coal miners in this country
was 729,279. OF this number 1884
were injured more or less seriously.
United States senate document 40,
sixty second congress, bears testimony
to the fact that S5,764 steel workers
were injured of 15S,6O4 employed.
1t is also shown that, while the
mines employed 570,675 more men
than the steel mills, the steel mills in
jured 4430 more men than the mines
| did.

1t will be seen what a marked de-
cline has taken place in bulk OF the
business Of the copper companies and
to this must be added the greatly in
creased cost in production, which at
the Ahmeek property was almost 100
per cent, the total cost of refined cop
per in 1913 was 1890 per pound, while
in 1912 it was 7.S5c. While this figure
Is exceptional, general increase in
production costs is to be noted and
deficits are by no means uncommon.

ICELAND TO HAVE A RAILROAD.

Less Than Million Dollars.
(New York Sum

The first railroad in Iceland is to be
built very shortly. The plans have
been worked out, and there Is no doubt
that the Althing-the national assem-
bly-will promptly accept them.
To country where the only prac-'
ticable means of covering long dis
tances has hitherto been on the back
of the hardy Icelandic pony, the ad-
vent Of a railwa is matter of great
popular excitement. 1t is claimed for
the proposed line that it will be the
cheapest in the world. Its entire cost
is placed at, roughly, $96S,O00, which
Neither is much luxury contemplated
in the equipment of the stations; the
chief one at Reykjavik, the capital, is
estimated to cost only $4,000, while
none Of the smaller ones is to cost
more than $4,000.
