A thorough Investigation will be under taken by the county officer-". The kidnaping took place last niKht t 10 o'clock. Thorne being raptured In his room and taken through the prin cipal streeta of tha city and past the police station, and although his cries were heard for block and brought hundreds of people to the urene. no one attempted to Interfere. The man. Inspire his cries and struggles, was thrown into a waiting automobile which took him from this city. Nl-w la laTeatlgafejr.
