kidnapping Extraordinary.
CHILD STOLEN FROM THE ARMS OF ITS MOTHER
From the Mclean County (Ky.) Progress.l


From the Mclean County (Ky.l Progress.l .
A case of kidnapping occurred in this
county on Monday last, which, in this COM
munity at least, lays the Charlie Ross sensa-
ton completely in the shade. To place the
matter understandings before our readers
we shall be compelled to revert back few
wears. Some three years ago Mr.. Americas
Underwood, the principal in the affair we are
about to relate, wooed, won, and married a
daughter of Mr.. Abraham Vancleave, of this
county. The fruits Of this union were o
pair of lovely twins, now about eighteen
months old. The husband is said to have
proved worthless, improvident cbarac-
ter. falling to provide even the neces-
saries of life. for his family. Some time
last fall he took the mother and her babes to
her fathers and took himself off to Colorado,
leaving her whom he had sworn to L" lsye,
cherish and protect" together with her
babes. wholly upon the charities of her father.
OF all this there would have probably been no
COMPLAINT, but, to cap the climax, on Monday
last the fend, accompanied BY two OF his bro
theirs, suddenly made his appearance at the
residence of Mr.. Vsncleave, and requested to
see his wife and children. The request was
granted, and after talking with the family
few minutes, he left his brother to entertain
Mr.. VancleaVe and the others, walked out into
the yard where the children were, and cooiiy
picked UP one of the twins, put it under his
oyercoat, mounted his horse, and hed from
the Just wrath that he knew was sure to toi-
low. The mother, perhaps mistrustlng bis
motives, and on the alert, was the Erst 10

Naturally one asks, Who are the men that
control the destinies OF this stupendous
wealth? Where did they come from, and
what " I'll they do with f.? I'll - - & =
To begin with: The Bonanza Kings, as
they are universally acknowledged to be, are
John w. Kackay and James g. Fair, of Viz.
ginia City; and James G. Flood aud VIII.
liam o. Brien, of San Francisco. Maekay and
Fair have been mining experts for years.
Flood and O'Brisn were merchants In San
Francisco. By shrewd and careful manipu.
lation Msckay and Fair got hold OF the Hale
& Norcross mice: and let Flood and OBrien

Kept on sinking the shaft, and fioally struck
the bonanza In 1874. In few months they
we're independently rich. They bought the
California claim, and have proved 1t to be
the mine of the age. At present each
Of them has an income Of over $780,
600 q month, and will probably be
worth one hundred million each In
less than ten years. They are all modest
aud unassuming, and universally respected.
THEFT wealth brings many anuoyances In the
shape or begging letters and personal app3i.

saw. 1t Is an impossibility for one Of them
to 60 on the street without being "struck"

companied by promise to repay when the
,tereotyped dog Is sold. This unceasing de.
maud from strangers for money and "points''
on stocks is having it's legitimate effect in
'ouriDg the dispositions of the men, and
I'm not sure but they find themselves insen-

reedom from care. However this may be,
