relief of Mrs. Porter. who was still stra&Slux TO
get sway from Feide, and she was then released
and Feide and his Gu kidnapper drove on.
1t turns out that Feide rs looking 'or w0-

he was look ng for, and without making any en-

As far as we can learn, the aboves tcount
is substantially correct. On last Wednes-
day evening. . servant girl giving her name
as Eta Clark, decamped from the residence
IF Mr.. Charles X. Marks. Of this city taking
with her about $3.50. which she s;de from
a drawer, leaving $500 re remain'ng. lOn the
same evening, she called At KepDnt-'s dry
goods st ore, AID purchased . considerable
bill Of goods Since that time, she has not
been heard from. 1t seems that Officer
Fcide committed the eggregious blupder Of
inistaking Mrs. Porter for the runstay, al
though had she been the person he tuppos>
ed, he would have had 70 right to arrest her
in the manner be attempted. 1t is ssource
Of considerable regret to the police of our
city, that they should be rendered - oaious
to our neighbors bv the thoughtlsss and
reprellensible conduct Of one of their mum
