Article Text: Centralia, Ill., August 17. Considerable excitement was created here to-day over the abduction of Miss Clara HODGES, of Little Prairie, and Miss Alice CLAWSON, of Rome, by a number of young men of this city and some in the neighborhood where they resided. The girls are both less than 16 years of age, and of respectable families. They were enticed away from home Sunday night, and were found here by their parents last night and taken home. Rev. CLAWSON, father of one of the girls, swore out warrants against Dr. BRUCE, of Rome, and Logan ALDRICH and Max DRAPER, of this city. Dr. BRUCE was taken into custody this afternoon and gave bond for his appearance. The officers are searching for the others connected with the affair. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ IL-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
