POLICE WILL PROBE KIDNAPPING ATTEMPT

Police will make a thorough investigation of the attempted kidnapping of Mary Ellen Spears in Fairview Tuesday afternoon. The investigation thus far seems to point to the fact that the men attempting the abduction got hold of the wrong girl. The description furnished by the little Spears girl is said to indicate that of Carl Anderson, of Piqua, against whom an affadivit has been filed, may be connected with the affair. Probably the most indicative thing that has furnished any clew to the JJentity of the men is the question asked the little girl, "Is your name

Bonny?" Parents Separated. The name "Bonny" is thought to refer to Bonnistella Anderson, who lives with her grandmother, Rebecca Rowe, at 1130 Hunt street. Bonnistella's mother and father have been separated for several years. The father has not seen the child since she was a baby. A man, whom the police believe to have been Anderson, called at the Sevastopol school Monday afternoon and asked for the little Anderson girl. Anderson is said to be wealthy, and .his friends in the city, say that he objects to his child living with her grandmother, the mother being married again and living in Chicago.

Hart, $11,000; Anderson and Sous Grain company. $28,000; Washington township, $11,000; and Wayne county, $27,000.
