MOTHER KIDNAPS
HER OWN CHILDREN
Mrs. Kenyon, Deprived of Family
BY Court, Creates Sensa-
tion Eyading Law.

The peace and quiet of this law
abiding community was consider
ably disturbed Tuesday morning
when the news spread over town
that Mrs. Jas. Kenyon had made
partially successful attempt at
kidnapping three of her children
who are attending the city public
schools.
just after the opening Of the
morning session, Mrs Kenyon
alighfed from an automobile at
the rear Of the school building
and going to the rooms in which
the children were, called for them
in such a manner that their teach
ers, who did not know her, releas-
ed them. The children are, Jack,
aged 10 years, Agnes, aged eight,
and Ethel, aged six. Taking the
youngest, she attempted to make
the other two accompany her,
but Agnes dcmurred and started
toward home. Jack followed to
bring her back, and they were met
by Superintendent McMahan, who
had been down town on business,
and when he learned what was GO
ing on he hurried to the scene and
demonstrated with the infuriated
mother, who, before he could in
terfere, hurriedly got away in her
ear with the Youngest
child, Ethel. The identity of the
man who drove the ear is un-
known.
The woman motored directly 10
the Fairview school, two and a
half miles north of town, and
there induced her oldest child,
Tessie, aged Is years, to accom-
pany her. The sheriff's office
was given notice some time later,
and Sheriff Paige got busy on the
ease. Through his efforts Mrs.
Kenyon and her children were
yesterday taken into custody at
As0tin, Wash. and are being held
there awaiting his arrival. He, in
with Probate Judge
left for that point this
morning. The latest information
from that point is that Airs. Ken
von refuses 70 give up the chill

the necessary extradition papers
are produced.

90 o'clock this afternoon was TO

tie, because it has no scheme. no pro
gram.
1t does not set out to narrate or to
prove; 1t has no dramatic purpose. nc
imaginative theme: it's essence Is q
sympathetic self-revelation. just as IN
talk a man may speak frankly Ct his
own experiences and feelings. and yet
avoid any suspicion OF egotism. Il hts
condolences are designed to illustrate
the thoughts OF others rather than to
provide q contrast and self-glorifica-
ton.
The essayist gives rather thar
claims: he compares rather than pa
rades. He is led by his interest II
others to be interested in himself. and
it is as man rather than as an indt
yidual that he takes the stage.
He must be surprised at the discov
cries he makes about himself, rather
than complacent; be must condone hts
own discrepancies rather than exuk
In them.
