A NEW OLIVER TWIST.
The Strange Story Told by Fourteen-
Ycar-OId Chicago Boy.

The Strange story Told by Fourteen-
Year-Old Chicago Boy.
According to st. Joseph (Mo.) special
: veritable Oliver Twist was discovered
In that city the other day in Alexander
Mckay, q small-sized fourteen-vear- old
boy, hailing from Chicago. The Pagan in
the case, as described by Mckay, is q
large, black bearded man, the chief Of a
band of robbers whose headquarters are
in some den in the southern part OF tho
city. The boys story is that in Lincoln
Park, Chicago, he was invited to drink
from a bottle by the man before men
toned He did so and became uncon-
sclous. When he regained his senses he
found himself in box-car with the man
on a moving train. They stopped at
Davenport Ia. and in the night boarded
q freight-train, arriving at ST. Joseph two
days later
The boy was taken to saloon near the
railroad yards, the headquarters Of the
gang, and kept close prisoner. 1t was ex-
planned to him that he was expected to as
sist IN housebreaking, pocket picking, etc,
and he was threatened with death if he re.
fused He was sworn to secrecy and then
given instructions. The next night he
was taken out by a man they called
"Saifty'' to try his hand at picking
pockets When they reached the Union
depot the boy yelled to .he first policeman
he saw: "Helpi helpp' His companion
struck him terrible blow on the head and
Ged, and so far all have escaped arrest.
The boy was taken In charge by the chief
Of police and his father in Chicago COM
municated with by telegraph, who verifies
he story of his mysterious disappearance.
