Foley Boy Believed
to be Kidnapped
Mysterious Man Said to Have Dis
appeared After Loss of Agar
Old Child

Foley, May 16.-Belief that
George Robitcheski, 4-year-old son
of Frank Robitcheski, was abduct-
ed was strengthened today when it
was learned that stranger, who is
known to have asked neighbors
about the Robitcheski family and
its children, has been missing since
the disappearance Of the child.
The entire community northeast
of Foley, aided by hundreds Of
searchers from Foley and Little
Falls, is searching the wooded
country, Systematically examining
every inch of the small creek, all
wells and every farm home.
Nearly 400 persons, most of
them from the Slavic community
in which the family lives are en-
gagged in the search. Late Thurs
day and Friday bloodhounds from
Waterloo, Iowa, were used in the
hunt. The hunt carried the child's
scent from the stream, where the
boys brothers were fishing, to the
highway. They then followed a
scent for five miles.
Sheriff Paul Felix of Morrison
county says that he will not re-
quest aid of state troops in the
search. Waters in the creek and
above the dam were dynamired in
the belief that the boy may have
been drowned.

Social Events

FAR FROM THE RABBITS
and Arrowsmiths Of his satirical
pen, Sinclair Lewis, American nov
elist, and Dorothy Thompson,
American newspaper correspond
ent, were married in London, Eng.
Monday, in a quiet room just of
London's main street.
The only witness to the cere.
mony, which was held in the reg
istrar's office in Henrietta street.
were Jonathan Cape, the bride
groom's English publisher, Mrs.
Cape and clerk.
The Lewises plan to leave Lon
don Thursday or Friday for a
motor honeymoon in the remote
parts of northern England. They
intend to return to the United
States in August "to settle down
on some quiet little farm, prefer
ably in New England" Lewis ex-
planned.
More than score of reporters
and photographers waited outside
during the ceremony. Some of the
photographers had unlimbered
their batteries inside the office be-
fore the couple arrived, but these
were banished and the wedding
took place before a row of empty
tripods.
The honeymoon will take the
Lewises into unfrequented paths
far from the usual tourist route
and there the writer will seek ma.
terial for a novel of English coun-
try folk.
Lewis today regretted that he
would have to explode the fable
that he first met Miss Thompson
during an airplane trip to Vienna
to "cover" the disorders there last
year. cts such a good story il
ought to be true" he grinned
Shut we met in the foreign Of.
fee in Berlin and about that
story that l proposed by drawing q
picture Of a little HONEYWELL,
proposed so many times / can't re-
member how it was done"
Recalling that he has never
owned a home of his own, Lewis
said that he expected to buy a
farm in the United States where
he would have tranquil place to
write.
Grace Hegger Lewis, who mar
ried Sinclair Lewis in 1914, was
granted divorce from him in Re-
no on April 16. On April %, the
author of "Elmer Gantry" an
nounced his engagement to Miss
Thompson, saying:
"You can say truthfully that
am marrying the daughter of a
Methodist minister. DIR. Thomp-
son exercised his ministry in North
Tonawanda, N. Y"
Miss Thompson was married in
Vienna several years ago to DIR.
Joseph Bard, Hungarian philoso-
pher. The marriage was dissolved
last year. She has been well known
for American papers for six OF
seven years.
Her romance with the novelist
began at the time of the Commun-
list uprising in Vienna last year.
