KIDNAPING CASE
STIRS WAYCROSS
Local Police Seem Puzzled Over
Fact That Man Was Taken in
Front of Willard Hotel and is
Still Missing.
(By Associated Press.)
Waycross, Ca„ June 27. —'What ap
pears to have been a bold kidnaping
plot was enacted early Sunday night
in front of the New Willard hotel.
Local police authorities are today
attempting to find either the unknown
man who was struck on the head with
a heavy .object, or the two assailants
who lifted him into a Ford automobile
and sped away before any of the sev
eral witnesses wlio> saw the assault
could intervene, or call for aid.
According to eye witnesses to the at
tack. two men driving a Ford car,
drove up to a lone pedestrian who was
passing in front of the hotel. One of
the men jumped out of the car and
struck him on the head with a heavy
object,.and with the assistance of his
companion dragged their victim into
the car and drove off.
, The entire affair was over in a few
seconds before several parties who
were passing at the time could inter

notified, and a city wide search was
started for the kidnabers, but up to a
late hour yesterday no trace of the
missing man or the kidnapers had

victim, and no motive or purpose
could lie asigned for the assault.

which is puzzling the authorities, with
no blue on which to work. The attack
'itself was one of the on

traveling for eighteen years and the

the most considerate and obliging,”
said Mr. McClelland to a News repre
sentative last night.
Many are of the opinion that the col
lecting of data by the .agent is done in
connection with the income tax law
but this is not the case. It is merely a
statistical proposition and absolute
frankness always assists the agent in
making out the required blank.
Mr. McClelland will be here sever
al days yet and during his short stay
has made many friends in Brunswick
and the country districts he has visit
ed.
that Mr. Beaver’s end was near as he
was the victim of an incurable malady
and white' everything possible wag
done for him, he passed to eternal rest
surrounded by his devoted wife and
loved ones.
