Farmers 84 guards took their eyes eaped from wagon. search but there was no sign of the boy. The theory is that the boy was with the two or three wagons which dropped out some where between Smith's farm and Woodbine and the storv told by the kidnaped youmrster bears this out. Harold Lorimier and James Brown, two small Ilerington while going out to the Smith farm Sunday morning pas sed the Gvpsv camp and the nien hurried out and engaged them in conversation. The men grew so confidential and familiar that the boys became frightened and ran away.

Mrs. Smith said this morning that no steps had as yet been taken to apprehend the kidnapers she believins that they were too far away by this time. The little boy has as yet not regained sufficient composure to relate in detail his experiences and the phone connection was not the best this morning, hence a complete story is almost impossible at press hour. However, he says that at no time on the journey did his captors abuse mistreat him. They asked him repeatedly what his name was and about his family but lie steadfastly refused to talk, possibly through fright.

Although safe in the hands of his best friends, last night was one of terror to Charlie. He did not close his eyes until one o'clock, and when sleep did come it was broken by horrible and frightful dreams of his capture. No doubt, like every other hoy, Charlie loved to read and hear of Gypsies but of a certainty thev have lost their charms Gail Stheklon and family of Wilsey and Hazel Bell of Council Grove visited at the G.

For eaie by all dealers. Near Shady Brook, the off of him and he 1 On the first page of this issue, is the story of the mysterious disappearance of Charles Nelson, aged 12, Sunday evening from the farm of Mr.

and Mrs. Almah Smith, northwest of the city, where he had been making his home for the past year. The lad went out fo the pasture to bring the cows in and no more was seen of him until he came home yesterday afternoon, worn, footsore and stricken with terror. It was a fascinating story he told and circumstances lend the color of truth to the tale. For the past week a band of Gypsies has been camping along the roadways between the Smith place and Woodbine.

Sunday evening the camp was near the Smith farm. According to the interesting narrative wheih Charlie poured into the ears of his benefactors, two hard visaged men suddenly confronted him in the pasture and took him to their camp Where he was kept under close surveillance. The wandering trile then started toward Woodbine, seldom taking their eyes off the boy. Charlie kept his eyes open for the slightest opportunity to escape and it came to him yesterday shortly after dinner near Shadybrook. His watchers grew somewhat careless, and he slipped away, darted into a cornfield and sped homeward.

When the Gypsies were camped near the Smith place. there were seven wagons. The next day when the- stopped near Woodbine, there were onty four or five wagons.

Coun.il Grove Guard. Hot Weather Diarrhoea Do your Glasses bother You In the summer people of all ages are subject to "running of the bowels." Germs get into the water and food and find their way to the intestines, irritating them so that there is a constant desire to have movement. This is weakening, destroys the appetite and disturbs "sleep. There are many quick cures but they usually contain a narcotic that is dangerous. Salts and laxative waters have no permanent effect.

It takes a remedy like Ponayo to destroy the trouble causing germs, clean out the intestines and strengthen the stomach and enliven the liver. Thousands use it every summer. R. D. BLACHLY DENTIST Both Phones 15 S.
