Miss Sisley Deserted
She Sends for Her Father to Come to Dallas City
Amos Farris has Deserted the Girl as He Deserded
His Wife and Family
Arthur S. Sisley last evening swore out a state's warrent
charging Amos Farris with the abduction of his minor
daughter, Minnie Sisley. As stated in the Herald several
days ago Farris, last Saturday deserted his family, leaving
them in destitute circumstances. He had induced 14-year-old
Minnie Sisley to accompany him and this fact was not known
by her father until Tuesday. She had been working as a
domestie in the family of Rev. Dr. Corbyn and consequently
her absence was not immediately noted by her family.
Mr. Sisley is in receipt of a letter from A. F. Taylor saying
that Minnie is in Dallas City, Hancock county, Ill, and is
desirous of returning home. Her father would have left
for there last night but not having the money with which
to buy a railroad ticket postponed the trip until this
afternoon. It is believed that Farris has deserted the
girl. If he has not and is still with her he will be arrested.
Such scoundrels deserves the law's most severe punishment.
