WAS BOLD ATTEMPT.
Country Girl Outwits White Slavers
at HOltOn.

Holton Recorder: People who live in a
sheltered community like Holton are
sometimes inclined to doubt the stories of
the mysterious disappearance of young
girls in cities and their subsequent sale
into white slavery. Yet a story has Just
come to light in Holton that is, except
for its fortunate ending, as dramatic as
those frequently read in city papers.
A few weeks ago girl Of about fif-
teen came to Holton from the country
with other members of her family. In the
course Of their shopping she became sepa-
rated from the others and as it neared
time to go home she wa; looking around
the square for them. A well dressed
woman accosted her and asked her il she
was looking for some one. The girl re-
piled that she was looking for her family
and the woman said she had become
separated from her friends also and sug-
gested they go together around the
square. AS they walked along, she offer
ed the girl piece of chewing gum which
the latter accepted but put in her pocket
book. On the east side an automobile
near them and the woman said, There
are my folks now. Come and get in with
us and we will look for your friends" The
girl refused, as she said her family would
not be looking for her in an automobile
and she was afraid she might miss them.
The woman insisted but the girl was firm
and left her. A few minutes later she
found her family and returned home.
A day or two efterward to girl found
the piece of chewing gum given her by
the strange woman and chewed It, In q
few minutes she became UNCONSCIOUS. a
doctor was called, who after reyiving the
girl. examined the gum and found that y
had been ''doped'' with some drug. II II

ton of the woman who gave 1t to her, II
is easy to surmise what the girls fate
would have been. She could have beer

his encounter with q Turk grappler

II was not the Gotch habit to back
