A MISSING BOY.
A New Clue to the Whereabouts of Willie
Dickinson, ABDUCTED from Florence, Wis,
Over Year Ago.
IC.,aa;nl la..na.., -. IL.

a New Clue to the Whereabouts of Willie
Dickinson, "a bducted from Florence, WIS,
Over a Year Ago.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
FLORENCE, Wis.,, May Ga new and i'm
portant clue has been discovered concern
ing the whereabouts of the missing boy,
Willie Dickinson, the child abducted from
this place in November 1891. Owing to
the distance of Florence from large cities
and metropolitan journals, comparatively
little has been said in papers of the coun-
try concerning Willie Dickinson, though
in many pionts it rivals in interest the
Charlie Ross case. Over year ago men
ton was made in the Washington dis
patches of the GLOBE of the search in Vir
ginia for the missing boy, but since that
time the case has disappeared from public
notice. The stolen boy is six years old,
and the son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. w. Dickin--
son, of this place, and the grandson of
Congressman Hubbell, of Michigan, Mrs.
Dickinson being Mr.. Hubbelps daughter.
Mr.. Dickinson had some trouble with the
rougher element of this town, who swere
they would eventually be revenged
upon him, but he paid no
attention to their threats, about
the 1st of Nov, 1881, his son suddenly
disappeared, and up to the present time
has not been seen by any of the family.
Mrs. Dickinson became almost crazed over
the loss of her boy. She determined to
make an effort and undertake the search
in person. A notorious character named
VIM. Morris was last seen in company
with the child, and as he did not return to
the town for some time the supposition
was that he was the abductor. Mrs. Dick
inson began prolonged pursuit that led
across the United States, following her
child from one place to another, and at
times being only a few hours behind the
fugitives, it was thought. She went to
Culpepper, Va, and found that the party
she was after had left the day before she
arrived. Upon going to the house where
they had stopped a garment upon
which Mrs. Dickinson had worked
the monogram of her little boy,
was found. She also learned
they had purchased tickets for Washing
ton. She at once went to that city, stop
ping at Mr. Hubbell's residence. Upon in
vestigation it was found that the persons
had left the train at Branch station, a
small place six miles from CUIpepper, and
to guard against their future escape nearly
every postal agent was supplied with a de-
scription of Morris, together with his pho
tograph, in the hope of having him col
Jared once. The search on Mrs. Dickinson's
part was finally discontinued, but active
inquiries have been kept up. The new
clue comes from Dakota, the information
being to the effect that the party who stole
the boy has been in Fargo with the child
lately. Immediate and thorough steps will
be taken to work the clue.

ra yeous threats were made, became salts
fed, that an acquiesence in their demands
made the Board of Control mere creature
of the Board of County Commissioners
and of man who was bent on using his
position as county commissioner to enrich
himself at the expense of the people and
in contravention of his oath of Office. To
this they would not consent, but before
taking any action in the matter, quite
number of leading citizens were
consulted, who UNANIMOUSLY
agreed that the interests of the public
should not be left to the mercy of such
creature as this man Krch. To prevent
his piracy the appointment of the Board
of Control was given to the District Judges.
The legislation was made a necessity to
keep the virtuous Krch from robbing the
county. He ought to be impeached and
removed from Office as warning and ex-
ample for others. He will never be happy
until he has met that fate, and he never
will receive his deserts until he is removed
in disgrace.

Il COUNTY COMMLSSIONEIc WHO
SHOULD BE IHPEACHED.

At the last meeting of the county com
missioners, that extremely Vi1tuous COM
missioner, Mr. Krch, INDUCED in his usual
rot and rant relative to the board of con-
troll The virtuous Krch has had his nose
out of joint ever since the
legislature ruined his little scheme
for gaining complete domination over
the board of control. The legis-
lation which was secured placing the Sc
lection of the board of control in the hands
of the district judges was rendered abso-
lutly necessary by the righteousness and
illegal conduct of the virtuous Krch.
Mr.. Krch, who is a grocer doing business
on Fort street, had hardly taken the oath of
office, which among other things, declared
that he was not in any manner to be inter
ested in the compensation or profit arts
ing from the purchase or supplies furnish
ed for or to the county by Ramsey before he
demanded of the Board of control quite a
large percentage of the orders given out
by the board, for groceries and provisions
This was conceded the great Ramsey
county reformer for the sake of peace.
. This succeeded so well that he followed
the matter up with demand that the
board give him the supplying of the Hospit-
al and poor farm, with groceries and pro-
visions, to the exclusion of other dealers.
This impertinent demand met with some
opposition, the Board claiming that in
matters of this kind everything else being
equal, these orders should be distributed
among other groceries anG provision
stores, and that no one had right to use
his Office in that way. This led to a feud
between him and the Board of Control
which eliminated in an open breach upon
the incoming of the new county commits
sioners on the first day of January last,
when he demanded of his co-commission-
ers the removal of Mr.. Freeman, one of
the members of the board of control-(the
county commissioners having the power
of removal and appointment) and the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Boyd.
This was followed by threat to another
member of the board of control that unless
he Joined with Boyd in removing Mr.. Nc
Grath, then in charge of the poor farm,
and also the clerk of the board, Mr.. Welsh,
and the county physician, the county
commissioners would remove him, the
threatened member of the board of con-
troll. Krch had, supposedly, fortified him
self in the county board by championing a
relative of one of the commissioners for
county physician, and expected to receive
in return keeper of the poor
farm and clerk of the board,
satisfactory to his own interests.
Mr.. McGrath, the keeper of the poor
farm, died soon after this threat was made,

virtuous Krch has mapped out

men and women made up the thirteenth
annual convention of the American labor
reform league in this city to-day. R. w.
Hume presided, and E. H. Haywood offer
ed resolutions which were adopted. They
declare that, as labor is the source of all
wealth, accumulation by interest or other
wise is robbery; that pay no rent is the
banner of duty not only in Ireland but in
New York, and all over the world; that the
czars, queens, presidents and land, railway
and bank monopolies are the special ex-
ponents of vast confederacies of organized
robbers, who may expect to be taken off by
dynamite, daggers or whatever other means
retributive Justice demands to establish
the common right. The action of the Phil
adelphia convention was denounced as
fruitless.

AN interesting case has just been judici
ally decided in Chicago involving the
rights of railway passengers and the re-
sponsibility of railroads as common car
riers. An Omaha lawyer in December last
bought in Omaha through ticket to New
York over the Wabash road, the Baltimore
& Ohio and the Pennsylvania road. When
he got little east of Philadelphia, on the
Pennsylvania road, on Dec. 16, the coupon
was repud1ated, and after refusing to pay
his fare, he was foreibly elected from the
train at little station called Tacoma. The
ground of this action was that on Dec. 1
the Pennsylvania oOmpany'hadtelegraphed
the Wabash company's Office at st. Louis
that it would not recognize any of its
coupons after Dec. 10. Suit was brought
against the co1n pany, and on the trial it
was proved that the money paid by the
passenger for his ticket was paid over to
and accepted by the Pennsylvania COM
pany. The jury rendered a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for the full amount
of his claim, $4,000. This was the second
trail of the case with the same result.
