SEARCH FOR
MISSING Child
Pinkerton Detective Here
Saturday Inquiring About
Miss Ella Buchanan,
Child's Aunt.
MAKE SMALL HEADWAY
Two Women and Child Dis
appear Leaving no Clue
to Whereabouts.

A Pinkerton defective agent was in
this city Saturday questioning local
authorities and school superintendent
in regard to Miss Ella Buchanan, for
merly school nurse here who is alleged
to have Kidnapped her niece, year
old girl. from Ottumwa several months
ago and then disappeared. The agent
was also making inquiries as to Miss
Helen Winters, Miss Buchanan's niece
and Il sister of the missing child, who
formerly taught school near here, and
who has also disappeared.
The two women and the child have
been missing since Oct. II. and efforts
to locate them have been in vain. Tle
last heard of them, according to the de-
tective here Saturday. was Oct. %.
when Miss Buchanan cashed n draft for
81. 300 in a Chicago bank. The general
ibelief is that they have taken refuge in
Canada, although the Pinkert0n agent
declares this would have been unne-
cessary as they could easily have
dropped from existence" by assuming
different names.
1t may be six months or year be-
fore any Roadway will be made in the
lease, the detective declared, for it has
only recently been placed in the hands
of the PinkertOn agency while the kid
mapping took place some three months
iagO.
When the child's mother died, the
little girl, then baby, was given to
the care of Miss Buchanan, and the
father later sought to get possession
of the child. The case was tried i'll
both the district and supreme courts
and was finally decided in favor OF the
father Miss Buchanan had become
very much attached to the child and for
this reason, it is believed, kidnapped
her.
