Aug. 25.—()— Hundreds of grim, determined men thrashed through the Kankakee river bottoms today looking for a farm laborer and the 10-year-old girl he kidnaped, hoping to find her alive but fearing to find her dead. The girl, Betty Jane Foster, was abducted from her farm home Satur- day night by Claude Dillner, 27, who formerly worked for “xe girl's father, Ernest “oster. Dillner left a note, found yesterday, in which he said he was in love with the child but would kill her if the police were notified. Neighbors, friends and police of six counties joined in a search which was divided into 12 posses. No word of the two had been received until last night when @ report was received that an autorfiobile containing a man and a girl had been seen on a little used road in the river bottoms and that the man had driven to one side in an apparent effort to avoid being seen. All of the posses were immediately headed for the swamp land and today were closing in from all sides on the district from which the report came. Dillner visited the Foster farm Sat- urday looking for work. The Fosters had enough help but he was invited todinner. After the meal the parents went to visit a neighbor and Dillner took Betty Jane and two other chil- dren to a nearby village where he bought them candy. ‘When they returned to the farm, the other two children said, Dillner let them out but pulled Betty Jane back into the car and drove off. A note, signed by Dillner and found yesterday on the farm, said: “I have, planned to do this for a year, but never had enough money until now. I'm in love with this girl and am taking her with me. They have been trying to keep us apart, but now I’ve got her. I will kill her if the police are notified, but she will not be harmed otherwise.” Norway Is Awaiting Return of Vessel With Andree’s Body Oslo, Norway, Aug. 25—#)—This part of the world awaits with con- siderable suspense arrival of the small sealer Bratvaag at Tromsoe, Di about September 10, with the bodies: of Salomon-August Andree, Swedish balloonist explorer, and his two com- panions in the first, an unsuccessful, attempt to cross the North pole by air. ‘The meager reports brought here by the captain of the Terningen, another | both sealer which saw the Bratvaag off | tax: ‘White island, Svalbard, where the bodies were discovered, have given some indication of details of the out- come of the adventurous balloon trip 33 years ago but it is hoped that An- dree's diary will tell the whole story. ‘A single notation on the last page eS degrece ‘north 32° west eat Be “83 degrees 1” Cals seen without so much handliag of the book, however.

The most serious fire is burning across the corner boundaries of Ait- kin, Crow Wing and Cass counties, about 12 miles north of Hill City and eight miles north of Bain, a small set- tlement. This fire already has eaten its way through nearly 12,000 acres of sec- ondary growth and some first stand imber, Deputy Oppel said. About 200 men are holding this fire under con- trol, but are not able to extinguish it, leaving the danger of a serious out- break should high winds arise. There is no danger that the fires will spread to Hill City or Bain, Dep- uty Oppel said, unless in the event of @ strong south wind, and even then the danger would be remote, he said. Fires which have been burning near Duluth and in the Guthrie district near Bemidji, are nearly extinguished, Mr. Oppel said. A large force still is working on a peat fire near Flood- wood, south of Hibbing, which has been burning for nearly two weeks and has covered a wide area. The fire, while not dangerous, is a stub- born one and four pumps are being used to halt the flames. Although some stands of large tim- ber have been destroyed in the Ait- kin fire, the real damage is in loss of secondary growth, Deputy Oppel said. In large timber some of it can be salvaged after the fire has gone through, but the secondary growth is @ total loss, he said. HEAVY WINDS MAY BRING DANGER Brainerd, Minn., Aug. 25.—()—No new fires were reported in this region today and rangers said they were well in control of the situation. ‘They feared only a heavy wind, which they said would cause spread of flames and make their control diffi- cult.

D., to obtain work there. Local officers have wired officials at Fargo to watch for the boy, who is an orphan. Charles Behm of Shakopee, guard- jan, said the youth was despondent because he lost $30 which he collected on @ newspaper route.

Two of five parachutes strapped to Babcock’s body opened. Two failed to open. The fifth opened six feet above the surface of Lake Min- netonka—too late to be of any aid. Babcock fell 2,500 feet while cutting loose the third and fourth parachute trying desperately to open the fifth in time to save himself. Practically every bone in his body was broken. His skull was fractured. He struck the lake with such force ,| that @ geyser of water 25 feet high spouted’ into the air where he fell. More than 50,000 persons saw the accident. N. D.
