Spirited AwRy-MysterIous Disappear
 Hnce of a Beautiful Young Lady.
 ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-The mystery sur rounding the disappearance of Miss zeulde Garrison, young lady of seventeen years, remarkable for her beauty as one of the bellies of this city, has awakened intense ex- citement. She was last seen on Saturday af- ternoon, when she left the residence of her uncle, c. l.. Garrison, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Norris, who left her at a street car for the "Wild Hunters" at the extreme southern part of the city. The conductor of the car remembers her distinctly, as she asked to be directed to the Convent of the Sacred Heart which was about six blocks distant. Since then she has not been seen or heard of. The conductor saw on the front platform four rough looking young hoodlums, who remarked that Miss Garrison was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen. It is supposed that these fellows had something to do with spiriting her away, and the most horrible suspicious are aroused Miss Garrison was returning to the convent to pursue her studies. She always made the journey to the convent in a carriage but her uncle's horses were lame on Saturday, so she decided to take street car Her disappear
 
 family thought sbe was at the convent and the sisters at the convent supposed her still at her home. Her uncle is secretary of the St. Louis Steel and Ore company, and she is 8 relative to the late Commodore Garrison, of New York. Detectives are following the clue, but so far unavailingly.
 THE YOUNG LADY SAFE AT HOME AGAIN.
 CHICAGO. Jan 12.-A special to the Herazd from St. Louis tonight telegraphs the fact that Miss Garrison, who mysteriously disap- peared last Saturday, has been found and is now safely housed at her uncle's mansion. There is still, however, an unpleasant shadow of doubt over the affair owing to the opin ion of certain detectives who have been sedulously engaged every day Garrison, although moving in the highest circle of society, is not the staid and demure young lady that her friends believe her to be and that her weeks absence from home in the infamous companionship of al- legged abductors has not been aItogeth- CT involuntary. It is, however, impossible to get the real facts of this extraordinary af- fair further than as follows: Late this even- ing tive hoodlums called at the family resi- dence and offered to find the missing girl for 8 certain sum-the amount is not revealed. They were incontinently arrested and prison life told where Miss Garri- son was concealed. MT. D. K Garrison, president of the Mechanics' National bank, accompanied by the police, immediately went to the given address and found the object of their search in very deplorable condition the particulars of which are carefully con- cealed. It is understood that when she left the street car at the ''Wild Hunt CTS" toward the close of the day last she walked rapidly in the direc- tion of the Sacred Heart convent and while passing saloon in that deserted locality was suddenly set upon by her kidnappers, who seized and bound her after overpowering her senses with chloroform. Miss Garrison pleads ignorance of any outrageous treatment that her person may have been subjected to, and her family disclaim any fear of any worse ] outcome of the dreadful affair than would l result from weeks imprison l ment in some out of the way place awaiting l an expected ransom. 1
