mg with the last week in INlny, 1890.- -Kidnapped her own CliiM.Last Thursday in the forepart of the day the little iive-year old daughter of John Sale, jr., was kidnapped in thetown of Pine Village while upon the street of that place, by her mother, who is divorced from the child’s father. It was upon the occasion of Barline's show exhibiting there, and arrangements had been perfected before by the mother and a man she goes with a great deal, named Cuppy, living near IndianHill, in Tippecanoe county, Ind., who bears the reputation of being a bad character. The mother, it appears, had been watching for the appearance of the child, who for the summer was staying with an aunt, Mrs. William Hooker, in Pine Village, and when the child appeared iu company with her cousin, the daughter of Mrs. H., the mother met them, telling them she wanted her daughter to go with her and that she would take her to herpapa, pointing to a man standing some distance away, but who was only an abettor to the woman. She also gave the Hooker child a dime in silver and told her she wanted her little daughter to go with her. Picking up the child she starlet! in the direction of where the man stood and when the woman reached him they started oil up Pine Creek together, taking with them the child. Arriving at their vehicle, which they had secreted up the creek, they got in and were soon out of the neighborhood. Wort! at once was sent the father who resides in Pino township, near Raiusville, but he arrived upon the scone too lato to accomplish any thing. He stales that he knows where the little girl is, and that he will begin proceedings for her recovery. John Sale, jr., the father of the child, is the son of John Sale, sr., of Pino Village. The mother is a daughter of Nathaniel Robinson, known in many quarters as “Parson Browlow” and “Yankee1' Robinson. About two years ago the parties were divorced, the decree of the Court giving the custody of the child to the father, as the mother at that time did not want it. After being divorced Mrs. Sale married Ross Lemons, with whom she lived only some three or four months and then left him for Cuppy, to whom she lias never been married. The kidnapping of the child created considerable excitement in town.•radfthmEPlt;P:rcalftdPWUSIowbS'asn•it(* i\
