Another Charlie Ross Case.
Washington circles are deeply interested
regarding the disappearance of a little four
year-Old son of Mrs. DickersoD, who is
visiting Representative Hubbell, Of Mich
jgan. The little fellow, with several com.
paniOns, WAS playing liz front Of the house,
which is Oh Iowa circle, in the northwest
ern part of the city, when he was decoyed
away by strange man and has not since
been heard Of. A man aud boy answering,
the description of the missing lad left the
city Friday night on the south bound
train, and, it is stated, got off at Brandy
station, Virginia, the scene of a lively
skirmish during the late war. The de-
tectives were acquainted with tho facts of
the abduction, and stimulated by the pro-
mise of reward OF $1,000 are securing in
every direction for the fugitive and bis
prisoner.
1t is suspected that the man who stole
the child had him concealed in the city and
that his capture is only question of time
The reason assigned for the abduction is
that the father of the lad had angcrcd a
crowd of ruf1ians at his home in Wisconsin
an,' out of revenge they stole his child,
thinking to get even and at the same time
secure a large reward from the parents.
Information from q reliable source estab-
!ishcd the fact that tho man who did the
work, after going into Virginia with his
captive, became frightened and suddenly
returned to the city. Mr.. Hubbell also
said thai the little boy had been repre-
sented to be his grandson, but this was
impossible, as he did not have any chill
dren who We're old enough to he married.
The stolen lad was the child of an old
friend of the family, and he had interested
himself in bis recovery solely upon that
ground. The parents were almost dis
.racted and had volunteered to give all
that they could raise to have their son re-
turned to them unharmed.
