WERE THE BOYS KIDNAPPED!
Father O'EIahsrts's Exciting story OF Ter
rorism and Abduction Near Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, May 23.-The announcement
heie the other day by Rev. Father Thomas o. Fla.
herty that his two nephews, Vine Mt aged sixteen
and Fred W 0'flaherty, aged fourteen, had been
abducted from his beautiful country seat on
the shore OF skaneateles Lake, caused
much excitement. Father O'Flaherty i'm
mediately consulted Superintendent of Police
Wright. and dispatches were sent in all directions
offering reward Of $500 for information leading
TO their recovery. The reverend gentleman says
that he Is almost positive that the boys have been
murdered. lie is very much excited over the
affair, the more so on account of his nephews be-
ing important witnesses in case which involves
the gentleman's reputation. Father o. Flaherty
says that this morning when he went 10 the
room OF his nephews he was astonished TO find
that they were not there. on their table lay a
note saying that they had gone away; that they
were to be given places in store and were salts
fed. The note WIS signed Fred" but II is be-.
lieved to be a forgery.
Father OFlaherty has occupied his country
seat for twelve yeais. He claims to have been per-
secuted by his Protestant neighpors since the nrs
year that he lived there. He says that they tried
to ruin his herds. broke down his fences. sowed
foul weeds in his grain and shot a. hls house.
About year ago he asserted that his barn had
been en- tered and grain stolen and that when he
put his two nephews 10 watch the premises they
were shot at intimidating them so that they were
afraid 10 60 Off the premises. Afterward he
claimed that the eye OF one of his nephews was
shot out. He laid the shooting at the door OF a
neighbor and soon afterward confronted him with
q shot gun, 1t is said for which he was arrested
and is now under bail.
