\ WAS KIDNAPPED?
Five Young Men Bound For St.
Louis On Jaunt Stopped
Here.
Wednesday night Chief of Po
lice Ballew received a telephone
message from Little Rock tell
ing him to stop North-bound
train No. 18 and take from it
five young men, four charged
with kidnapping the fifth. When
the train reached this place it
was held until the fugitives
could dress and be taken off.
The prisoners were young men,
all between the ages of twenty
and twenty-three and did not
seem to mind the arrest further
than objecting to being taken
out of bed.
They were charged by the
boy’s stepfather with kidnap
ping the youngest who lives in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. They came
from the boys’ home to Little
Rock in an automobile and took
the train there upon which the
boy’s father arrived from Hot
Springs.
The prisoners, whose names
are iom increase, nay xsesi,
Rob Wilson, U. C. Varnell and
Buck Self, the last named being
the kidnapped boy, were taken
to the Hazel hotel and guarded
in a room over night being re
turned Thursday morning early,
accompanied by Mr. Ballew.
The foregoing charge seems
absurd as the boy, who wak not
quite twenty, seemed perfectly
willing to be kidnapped and it is
more probable that they were
going to St. Louis to which place
they had V'ckets.to have a good
time spending the boy’s money.
The father of the boy in an in
terview published in the Little
Rock Gazette alleges that Gil
crease is trying to get the young
man under his infulence in or
der to procure the boy’s lease of
an allotment in the oil fields,
which produces an annual in
come of $60,000.
