KIDNAPPED,

That Seems to be the Only Reasonable E.c-
| PLANTATION Of Chdrle9 Hayes Mystic
rious Disappearance Recently.
There are many facts connected with the
mysterious disappearance Of Charles D. Hayes.
the ex-freman, recently, which will be of
general interest and which have not been
published.
It will be remembered that when Hayes
returned home, the theory having gained
| credence that he had been suffering from an
attack of insanity, he went to physician and
was examined to establish the fact that he
was in the full possession of his reasoning
faculties, and that insanity as being the oc-
| casiOn of his adventure was improbable. The
physician found that he had been drugged,
and that his system was thoroughly perme
ated with the poison.
This fact gave rise to the suspicion that he
had been first chloroformed and then kid
mapped. Taking the fact that his head and
face had been shaver smooth as key upon
which to work, the detectives and friends of
| Mr. Hayes set diligently about searching up
the case. The barbershops were all visited,
and it was found that he had not been shaver
| in any shop between the point at which rs
| found himself when he Tegained conscious
ness and Minneapolis, FOR in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Hayes story, which is as follows, tends
| to confirm the kidnapping theory:
| he was on his way home, he was met near the
Winthrop school building, on University ave-
| nue., by O stranger whom he describes as being
somew hat below the average stature and who
wore black mustache. The stranger &C.
costed him in rough voice and asked him if
| his name was Hayes. Answering in the
| affirmative he was told that his wife was very
| i'll and that he had best hurry home. To take
near cut, he walked across the school
grounds to Fourth street. At the gate the
same man who had first addressed him sprang
| from behind tree, and, grasping him about
| the arms and body with one arm, put some
| thing up to his face. From that instant to
the time of his awakening to consciousness
| in lie Sueur county, two days later, every
thing is total blank. When he
recovered cons ciousness he found himself ly-
| ing not far from house. He undertook
| to walk to the house, but found himself too
weak for the task. He was attacked by
chronic retchings and was deathly sick. He
was finally able to reach the house by crawl
ing a portion of the distance upon his hands
and knees, but being unable to give reason
able explanation OF his condition, he was re-
fused admission by the ladies, who were the
only inmates of the house at the time and who
supposed that he was intoxicated. Turn
ing away he fell by the roadside near by
absolutely exhausted and helpless, where he
remained until a gentleman came and assisted

convinced that his ailment was not from the
use of liquor, kindly cared for him until he
had sufficiently recovered to set out upon his
return home.
When he was metby the stranger he had $40.
but he now found himself without penny. He
was given money, however, sufficient to get
home by the ladies.
Mr.. Ketchell states he met Mr.. Hayes at
about ii o'clock on the evening of his depar
ture on Sixth avenue southeast in the CON-
pany of stranger, who was apparently lead
ing him along, and whose description CORE
spends with that given Mr.. Hayes.
The whole adventure is filled with mystery,
which, it is hoped, will soon be solved by the
detectives
