if . SEQUEL TO THE HADDOCK CASE. A week ago Tin: Triiiunb pub lished an item relative to Eugene Haddock, ol McPlierson county, corresponding with a Jersey City young lady, that he had sent her money to come west in order that they might be married, that the girl had been robbed in Chicago, and that Haddock had sent money to her there. At the time it was supposed that Haddock had been buncoed, but a dispatch from Chi cago, under date of December 10th. gives a sequel to the story and is cyidcncc that the girl acted in good faith. The dispatch is as follows; Grave icars arc entertained for the safety of JcBBie Allon, bright looking and twenty-two years old, who disappeared in Chicago sev eral days ago while enroute from Jersey City to her new home in North Platte, Nebraska. Miss Allon arrived in Chicago last Thursday from the cast, and proceeded at once to the North western railway depot, where she expected to take a train for the west. While waiting for the train to be made up her purse, contain ing money and a ticket to thr Ne braska town, was snatched from her hands. The frightened women thus found herself alone and penni less in a great city, kindness was shown her by the depot master, and money was given her to pay her hotel bill until she could receive linancinl assistance from fricndB in North Platte. Transportation for her waB received today by J. T. Gough, passenger agent of the Norhwcstcrn road, but Miss Allon cannot be found. The police have been asked to , assist in finding her, and every police station in Chicago now has a description of the missing woman. She is described as being five feet seven inchcB tall, weighing 147 pounds, with black hair and dark eyes. Eugene Haddock of Lctnlcy, Neb., who sent the ticket for Miss Allon fears she is dead or kept a prisoner.
