where the report was corroborated. The
discovery of the body was made by resi-
dent, walking upon the west bank of the

was attracted to u coat and hat placed con-
spicuouSly upon the opposite bank. The
locality being a favOrte bathing-place, land
as accidental drowning had previously oc-
CURED there, suspicion was aroused Us 10

clothing. Neighbors were summoned,
and, after dragging in the stream Tor

body near the centre OF the stream, ana
about twenty yards from where the coat

THE REnARKABIE STORY RHLA-
TED BY THAT CANADIAN BoY.

| Especial to the Cincinnati Tinss-stsr.I
LONDON, Ont, February 5.---The
Charlie Ross excitement has been
increased BY the arrival Of a lady
from Toronto, who, with a reporter,
visited the boy yesterday and
learned from him particulars of
his history, so far as he remembers
them. Little doubt is now enter
tanned that he is the veritable lost
child. The reporter, on arriving
at the farm Of Joseph Bond, q
German farmer, with whom the
lad has found a home, learned that
the Teutonic ycoman was very
much opposed to newspaper men,
but, under the guise Of being re-
latiyes of Mr.. Ross, an interview
was obtained with the lad ON his
return from Sunday school.
The much-talked ofboy, q fiaxen-
haired youth Of about fourteen
years, under the influence OF the
reporter was induced to relate an
extraordinary tale, being in sub
stance the particulars of the alb
duction of the lad. He recollected
having lived in large city under
the care Of woman he called
Betsy. One day while he was play
ing in the street two men drove up
in a buggy, one of them sporting u
broad-brimmed straw hat. The
latter alighted and proceeded to
catch q small bird flying near,
which he handed to the child, and
Immediately seizing the lad lifted
him into the buggy, aud the two
drove away.
The boy must have been placed
under the influence of some drug,
as he recollected nothing further
until his arrival among Indians,
with tho exception ofa dim re-
membrance of being on train and
crossing bridge. He was placed
In charge of an Indian family ON
the Tnscarora Reserve, near Brant-
ford, and afterward was taken by
another family to a Moravian town,
where, according to his assertion,
he was most brutally treated, their
favorite pastimes being to strip
him entirely nude, aud after tying
his hands and feet to beat him till
blood was drawn, On the first
opportunity he fled from his inhu-
man master and found refuge with
a farmer named Ward, but as the
treatment didn't improve he again
fed, and wandered around until
he met one Wilson, q white man
with negro wife. He remained
with this man for u brief time, and
in October last found secure
haven of rest with the kind farmer
in whose hands he at present re-
mains.
The lad says he wore q pinafore
froak aud kniekerbockers at the
time OF his abduction, and the only
difference appears to bein the age,
as at present he is described as q
raw-boned, gawky youth ofahout
thirteen years, and some four feet
in height, Bond refused to give
up the lad, whom he believes to be
the genuine Charlie Ross, to any
person except his father, What
further developments may result
are unknown.
