Wire Mill Likely to Constructed Here,

Crawfortisville Capitalists arc Interested and the Enterprise Will lie On" in^wiTicfi "am 'mn'v

Take Part No Subsidy Asked.

For some time past number of the leading business men of Crawfordsville have been considering the advisability of starting a wire mill in this city, the proposed plant to be considerably larger than the one gobbled up by the trust some time ago. The mill, if started, will draw wire and will manufacture barb wire, woven wire, nails and a number of other wire products.

VOL. 53—NO. 3 .) CRAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY (KTOBKR f, 1 $)())-TW KLVK l'AtiKS PART KKCOND

There are, it is well known, a iium- interests if he is not sent back there ber of gentlemen, in Crawfordsville who thoroughly understand the wiie business and who are at liberty toenti it at any time. They are men of meai and are willing to invest, for they ha\ every encouragement. The wire business is still in its infancy and every month gives announcement to son new product, so the field is the mtst,

try, there being everywhere a deinai il for all the products. The teeth of the big trust have bet drawn and all the independent mil are doing well, there being not tl least difficulty experienced in obtaining all the rods and other raw material desired, a dozen factories vieingj with each other for sales. These mills were not in existence when the trust was was formed but they have come up in the last few months and are all of them flourishing.

For several months the old management of the wire industry here have been importuned by their former customers to start a new mill and assurances have been received that not only would all the old trade come back but much in audition that was never given the Crawfordsville mill. A number of the old customers have ottered to take stock in a new concern if it is started, so sanguine are they of its complete S I 8

The former mill here was a great success. It was begun by men who, knew practically nothing of the busi-j ness and who had to contend with handicaps and obstacles not now in the way. And still the concern won, and very handsomely, too. To-day eonditions are infinitely more favorable for the launching of such an enterprise and if proper encouragement is given Crawfordsville will have a big mill here next summer. ClifT D. Voris,who is one of the gentlemen most interested in promoting the plan, said last week: "The wire business is really the great infant industry of the country and it is destined to become a giant among them. Now is the time to start a mill here if ever, and I am more than satisfied that it can be made a winner and a blessing to this town. Crawfordsville is for this purpose one of the best shipping points in the country and is close to a splendid territory where all sorts of wire products will have to be used forever. The mill we are talking of will furnish work to 100 or 125 skilled worbmen»at gnod wages—workmen of a class that benefit a community in every way. We have three good locations for the mill in view and I am free in saying that the situation looks very rosy. I think that we can set the enterprise on its feet. To establish the mill we have in mind would require a capital stock of *100,000 and I think the money.can Jbe raised right here in

Crawfordsville. I know of a number of men here who will take large blocks of stock but we will not stop there. We want this to be a Crawfordsville enterprise in a broader meaning. We shall ask no subsidy but we shall ask the people of the town to take stock in a business that will pay, I feel warranted in saying, a good interest on the money put in. We contemplate making the shares fifty dollars each, so you can readily see that hundreds of people hereabouts can help a good thing along and at the same time get a direct benefit. Of the benefit of such a mill to Grrwfordsville I need hardly speak. We all'know what the old mill was to Crawfordsville and it was a considerably smaller concern than we now contemplate. Our pay roll would be from $1,000 to 81,400 a week and this money would be spent here. The time is nowripe for starting the thing in order to be ready for next season's trade. It would require about six months to get in operation."

AFTER A KIDNAPPER.

Monday iind Tuesday of last week Chicago papers contained iongthy accounts of the kidnapping of I hree year-old girl by it,s father, .Ifuxne Kgbert, of Madras, Ind'a. Mr. iml Mrs. Kghort separated in India two years ago, and she with her little child came to this country, where she formerly lived, to make her own way. The Chicago papers accredit, her with being a writer of some merit and a person in excellent standing. On Sunday afternoon while she was walking with her little girl in front of her fiat her husband came up with his foster brother and they seized the child and rushed to awaiting carriage. Mrs. I'jgliert followed them and caught, on the vehicle as it started.

However, she was beaten oil'and fell fainting in the street. Kgbert drove to Hammond, Ind., where he boarded the Monon train with the child and came as far south as Crawfordsville. While enroute he. had Conductor Johnson wire ahead to have the Big Four rain, west bound, held for ten minutes in order that he might make connection for lUoomington, 111. Arrived here he took Hamp Marley's cab and a lightning run was made to the Big Four station only to find the train gone, the conductor having ignored the telegram. Fgbert then returned to the Kobbins house with the girl w^tere he registered as Walter Proctor, of Chicago. The next morning tie look the bus, went to the Big

Four station and secured tickets foi 1 Moomington. Last Friday Mrs. Kgbert arrived here and was at the Crawford until Saturday afternoon %hen she too departed for Bloomington. She had traced her busband this far with the assistance of the Monon road people, and she stated that in her opinion he had gone to Minonk, 111 where his mother resides. She stated that she had been informed by the train crew that the child was terrified all the way down and was roughly treated by its father. The train boy who offered to quiet it with soothing: cracker-jack was rudely driven off.

Mrs. Egbert is a handsome young woman of perhaps thirty years, pretty well supplied with large diamonds and other bits of jewelry. She wore, deej) S mourning but informed a Iot'KN'.m, man that this "was not out of respect for any dear relative but as a disguise."' As to what she hoped to gain by a disguise she did not say and upon the whole was rather mysterious in a cases where all the facts have been widely published. Some might even have considered her theatrical. "I am a writer," said she "anil I make my way with my pen. The Chicago papers take all I write and call for more. I write for magazines, also, I and am a contributor to 'Thr litirkdoi' I ViW,-.' *77/* Iliiclicltir lUxik'' announces thatsi for bachelors, though others may read it." Her specialty in this publication is a monthly fashion letter. In the last letter she says: "If we expect mere gents, who belong, as Charles Dickens says, to the lowest order of created beings, and grown up Fauntleroys, who rank but one above them, the kingdom of man-* kind may be divided for purposes of observation into four great divisions —i the artistic, the irresistable, the conventional and the comfortable.''

i(j

intiended

Jerome evidently belongs to the irresistable class. The little girl's name is Frica.

Mr. Booe, of the llobbins, states that Egbert attracted no particular attention at the hotel. He was a tall dark young man, well dressed and behaved himself while there. The child appeared contented.

Before leaving Crawfordsville Egbert went out and purchased a large doll at one of the stores for the little girl. He was noticed by a number of persons because of his unusual hoight, he being six feet, three inches. He is a dentist and a skilled one. according to his wife, who says that he usually clears up $1,000 a month.

Mrs. Egbert carried with her enough newspaper passed to Hag any train running in Indiana.
