Charles Heisen'S, at Seventh and | streets
and, representing that he was farmer de
slrou5 of hiring hands. inquired of Mr.
HelSen where he would be likely to hear OF
some. Mr.. Heisen did not know of any
men. but recommended him to TWO bows
residing not far away The man went to
their residence, and on returning to Heis-
ems later, reported that he had engaged
one, and would take him to the ranch at .
o'clock. About half-paSt Mr.. Hcisen
missed his ten-ycar-old daughter, Il child
who is weak mentally in consequence of
being liable 10 fits. The other children said
that she had asked the man who was in
curing for ranch help to give her a ride.
and he had taken her away in his buggy.

concluded that she would be brought back
soon but as the hours passed he became
much worried. He learned that the mans
story that he had engaged boy was cor
rect, and he concluded to wait until ,
o'clock and see if the boy was called for ac-
cording to promise. About noon the man
was observed 10 drive rapidly past Mr..
Heisen' place with the child in the buggy,

ened father procured horse and buggy
and drove to the various roads leading

corning the chlld's disappearance. and then
the city was searched. When he returned
home, respondent, about 5 o'clock, he
found the little girl there. in good health.
and much pleased with her days ride. 1t

living in the neighborhood saw the man
driving down II street with his little com
panlOn, and upon their calling to him to
let her out he did SO. Apparently he had
not lett the city during the day but had
been drinking considerably.

Al. Could would attempt To stand four |
rounds before II. Slattery. well-known |
slOggcr of san Francisco. drew quite an |
audience at ArIn0ry Hall. Those who at |
tended with the expectation of witnessing |
q sparring match, however, We're doomed |
to disappointment, for instead of any dis |
play of science II proved TO be nothing but |
a regular Slogginc affair of the most brutal |
character Slattcry is man of probably |
$50 pounds, while Gould is not over Ito |
pounds As was evident to all who COM
pared the physical conditions of the TWO |
men. Gould was easily " knocked out ~ on |
the first round. when the spectators rushed |
into the ring TO stop the disgraceful pro-
Ceeding. What was promised to be an in

spectacle, and the auditors withdrew, salts |
fed that they did not care TO witness |
another slogging match.
METROPOLITAN THEArER.-At the Metre !

at a matinee tomorrow, Herne's scenic !
drama, Hearts Of Oak, will be presented. |

F. Chippendale Mollie Corcoran, Henry
Bergman, Little ChryStal and The Baby"
and the press Of the country generally |
speaks well Of their rendering of several
characters. Every scene of the play has
been studied for stage and scenic effect, and
many of the tableaux are of the best the
artist and stage carpenter can produce. The
wreck and the storm, in the first act. are
thrillingly realistic, and the moving mill
wheel, in the second, good piece of mech
anism. The home scene, the church-vard.
and the cabin of Owen Garroway, with the
mill in the distance, are all brilliant pict-
Ures.
