Pteerfs Disgrase to Passrnal Abuse

Pfeerfs Disgrace to Passrnal Abuse
This morning a man giving bis name as
O'Leary from Muscatine, Iowa; applied
to the police, saying he was in search Of
his daughter Mary, who ran away from
home and he had traced her TO this place.
Iu his description Officer German recog-
nized young girl known as Car RE Burns
who has been doing house work at Mrs.
Weirs rancho for several weeks but for
the past few days has been at ". W
Curtis boarding house on 4th. avenue,
opposite the Commercial Hotel
By some means the girl learned that her
father was in the city looking after her
and, this afternoon, she packed up her
s;auty wardrobe and started to 20
ross the river. AS she pass
ed to the ferry landing Officer German
recognized and stopped her, taking her to
the marshals Office.
The girl, whose proper name is Mary
O'Leary, says that she Is seventeen years
old; that her mother died when she was
quite small. aud that she has supported
herself for the past four years. She says
that her fathes provides 10 home or sup
port for her and continually abuses her
when she is near him. She declares that
she will not go home with him aud IT com
PEELED to, will not remain there.
After keeping her at the marshaPs Of
| fee more than an hour and not being able
to find the father, the officer allowed hsr
to go, having no authority to hold her. It
is indeed sad case Judging FROM her
present associations she will be wrecked
by staying here, il she is not already, and
according to her story she will fare no
better at home.

the old veteran is not content with running
the organ and cracking the whip over the
backs Of the nationals but he wants to die
tate to democrats what they had best do.
There is no doubt the old veterans past
political life and the natural bent of his
mind make him inwardly loathe and re.
volt against the position 10 which heis now
placed. More than that, he is evidently
afraid Mr.. Durham, if he should chance to
encounter bis preacher candidate on the
