FROM HOME HERE WITHOUT
ANY INTERFERENCE—
CHILD IS AT LITITZ
There was quite a lot of excite-
ment on West Donegal street here
Sunday afternoon when a lady kid-

no interference, however, although
all kinds of reports were circulated.

some time with other relatives at
.ntervals,
Late Sunday afternoon, when the
family of Clarence Gibbons were
seated at the table, a car drove up
to the front door and the girl's
mother quickly. alighted, came into
the house and snatched the child
without saying a word to anyone.
The child was rushed into the car
followed by the mother, who then
hastened the child to Lititz.
There will be no interference on
the part of anyone as the mother is
really entitled’ to her child, the only
excitement being the manner in
which the little one was taken.
