last tho 17-months-old son of Mrs.
Dan Wngoner disappeared and no
trace of him has yet been found. Mrs.
Wagoner was visiting at tho homo of
her father, Mr. Van Dyke, In Lino
township. The child was missed
about 8 o'clock iu the morning and

trace of it could be found. On Wednes
day a (delegation of nearly one hun
dred, headed by Sheriff Warren, went
out from Red Cloud to join tho search,
but their efforts were fruitless. The

was kidnaped by a gang of campers
who had been staying in the neighbor
hood, and circumstancial .evidence
points strongly In their direction.
Mrs. Wagoner is now In a procarlous
condition from nervous prostration.
