CHILD IS MISSING

AND MOTHER BELIEVES ITS FATHER HAD KIDNAPPED IT

Mrs. Ida M. Whalon, a former resident of Alexandria, was here Monday evening enroute to Marion seeking her husband, whom she believes is employed at Marion, and who she charges, has run away with their three years old son.

The Whalon family moved from here to Paris, Ill., about a year ago, and recently the husband, it is charged, left home, taking with him the little boy.

Mrs Whalon traced him to Elwood, where he was employed for a short time at the tin plate works, but arrived there after he had gone away.  When Whalon left Elwood he said that he was going to Marion to take a position, and Mrs. Whalon has gone there, in an effort to find him.
