BEAUTY And THE BEASTS.
TRAGIC TALE OF THE ADDICTION
OH ST! LOUIS BELLE:
A Great Sensation About Her Alleged ABB
duction on Her Way to SchOOl-Chloro-
formed by Two HOodlums and Secreted
Several Days-Her Return TO Her Home
Last Night.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-There is great ex-
element here over the disappearance of
Miss Zerelde Garrison, young girl of
seventeen, remarkable for her beauty, and
one of the bellies of the city. She was last
seen alive last Saturday, when a little
after o'clock she left the residence of her
uncle, O. L. Garrison, accompanied by her
sister, Mrs. Morris, and came down town
to the corner of Fifth and Olive streets
She there took street car for the Wild
Hunters, the terminus of car line in the
extreme southern part of the City. The
conductor Of the car remembers her dis
tinctly. When she got off the car at Il Q
Wild Hunters she asked to be
directed to the convent cf
of the Sacred Heart, which is only half a
dozen blocks away. Since then she has
not been seen or heard from. The con
ductor noticed on the car platform four
rough looking men of the hoodlum stamp,
and they commented during the journey
on Miss Garrison's handsome appearance,
said she was the most beautiful woman
they had ever seen. It is supposed these
men had something to do with the disap
pearance of the young lady, and the most
horrible suspicious are aroused. Miss
Garrison was returning to the convent to
pursue her studies She had not returned
since the Christmas holidays, having
been detained by visits of friends.
She had been studying there for over a
year, and always went to the convent in a
carriage, but her uncle's horses were lame
Saturday, and so she decided to go in a
street car. Her disappearance was not
known to the family or police until yester
day afternoon, as the relatives thought she
was at the convent and the sisters at the
convent thought she was at home. She is
the daughter of Mrs. Abram Garrison, and
resides at Kirkwood, a suburban town
twelve miles out. M. W. Garrison, secre-
tary of the St. Louis Steel and Ore COM
pany, is her uncle. Detectives since yes
terday have been following every clue, but
without success.
Miss Garrison was only seventeen, but
as we'll developed as a girl of twenty-one.
Sheis strikingly handsome, has brown hair
and eyes, full expression, and like her
complexion is fair, and she is graceful in
carriage and stylish in appearance, weighs
about 1876 pounds. All night the detec-
tives and Chief of Police Campbell have
been searching the vicinity of the convent
for clue in vain. Men from the Vulcan
Steel works not far away aided in the
search. This morning a sergeant of po
lice and squad of twenty men examined
all the ground, but without result. Mrs.
Abram Garrison mother of the girl,
has not yet been informed of her dis
appearance. Relatives have no theory, but
feel sure foul play has been practiced.
The excitement in the city is intense, the
probable fate of the poor girl is the uni
versal theme of conversation. The police
are actively at work, but so far their effects
have resulted in nothing. The Sacred,
Heart convent is noted Catholic educa-
tional institution, situated about five miles
south of the centre ofthe city, and enjoys
high reputation. The vicinity of the con-
vent is verparsely settled.
LATER.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-There is reliable
authority for stating that the Garrisons
have received inform alton of Miss Zereldi
Garnson's whereabouts and are convinced
that she is safe and alive. They are are
very .reticent, and are now-9 p. m.-
detectives. It is stated that letter was
received at Mr.. Garrison's informing them
that the girl is held for money and that
the writer would be glad to
make an appointment to treat for
her delivery. A gentleman member of
the family stated that telegram was also
received, dated at point twelve or four
teen miles south of st. Louis. stating that
Al i e. Z
The relatives now show by their demeanor
that she is alive and soon to be restored to
them, but they will give no information
except ''all will be cleared up by morn
ing" before which time they expect Miss
Zerelde to return. The detectives are at
work and it is almost certain that the mys-
terry will be solved in the next twelve
hours. This member of the family
would not state the name of the place
from which the telegram came.
MISS GARRISON SAFE.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 12.--At 10 o'clock
this morning the Dispatch published
an extra which sold like wildGre, as the ex
element in the city was great. The extra
contained the following: cat o'clock this
evening, Mr.. Oliver Garrison called at the
Office of the Post-DiSpdtch to report in per-
son that Miss Garrison had been found |
during the evening, and is now at the
b )use of her uncle on Pine street. He does |
not think that she suffered any violence at |
the hands of her abductors other than be- |
ing chloroforned on Saturday last, |
when the ruffians obtained posses
sion of her person. That she was
chloroformed, however, is absolutely GER
tain, though Miss Garrison has quite lost
her memory as to the time and place of
the occurrence. The young lady was re-
turned this evening by one of the rufians
himself, who had probably become alarmed |
at the great excitement of the public and
the probability of his punishment. The
young lady is suffering from the chloro-
from and great nervous shock and is con-
fined to her bed but not seriously ill. Two
of the rufians have been already arrested.
They belong to notorious gang of Coron-
dolet hoodlums.
PARTICULARS OF THE ABDUCTION.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-Miss Garrison was
found and returned to the home of her
uncle, o. L. Garrison, between 8 and 8
o'clock tonight. Her statement is briefly |.
