A1NHEAPoLIs, Oct. 2.-Another NcNanus
has made his appearance in Minneapolis.
At about $50 last evening rough locking
man about 40 years old, inclined to be COR
pulent, smoothly shaven, poorly dressed
in light cslored coat and black pants,
was seen walking along Nicollet avenue In
the vicinity of Thirtieth street, in the
suburbs of the city, leading little girl.
He seemed to be talking to her, when sud-
denly she screamed, and breaking away
from him ran precipitatsly into a house,
the residence of J. F.: Woolfe, No.
29O8 Nicollet avenue and to
Mrs. Woolfe related her story.
She stated that her name was Susie, daugh-
ter of Thomas Doyle, and she was eleven
years old. She said she had been visiting
Mrs. Quinn, friends of her folks, and that
starting to return to her home,
which is at No. 1872 Western avenue,
She became bewildered and lost her way.
Dismayed, she inquired of the first person
she met, which happened to be the strang-
or above described, the direction to West
ern avenue. He smiled and replied ''come
along, sis; that's where Pm going. I'll
take you home" He then took her
hand. They walked for long time
until it began to get dark, when she began
to have misgivingsi respecting going in
the right direction. She asked him where
they were going, and he told her with
demoniacal laugh that he proposed to kiss
her. Frightened, she broke away and ran into
Mr.. Woolf's house. She was so completely
overcome that it was some minutes before
she could speak. Upon hearing the story
Mr.. Woolf, armed with stout stick, started
in search of the demon, but unfortunately
he had absconded. Mr.. Woof then took
the child to the police sta
ton, arriving on the z o'clock
moter. Mr.. Doyle had alreadyibeen at the
station and left description of the child,
whom he had reason to believehad strayed.
Mr.. Doyle is employed as watchman in
tho Minneapolis & st. Louis
round house, and he was telephoned
by Chief Munger upon the arrival
of the child, and at once came and took
her home. The police last night were
securing the city for the fiend, but up to
midnight had been unable to capture him.
Patrick Donovan has been in Minneapo-
lis for few days in search of his little
seven-yearold boy, who was abducted from
his homo in Ontario, Canada, by Mr..
and Mrs. BENZ. Freil about two years ago.
Mr.. Freil, who is Donoval's father-in-law,
has lived in Minneapolis about a year,
and claims the boy, whose name is Thomas,
as his own offspring. At the instance of
Donovan a writ of habeas corpus has been
issued by Judge Young, and placed
in the hands of Sheriff
Eustis for the boy, who will be brought be-
fore tho court as soon as found. Th
sheriff visited the house of Freil, but the
child could not be found. Benz. Freil is
absent from the city.
Chief Munger has lady's pocket book
containing a sum of money, which the
owner can have by identifying.
