the mysterious case of Willie Dickin-
SON, son of Capt. w. E. Dickinson,
superintendent of the Common
wealth mine at the neighbor-
ing town of Commonwealth, who
was supposed to have been abducted
i've years ago is in a fair way to be
cleared up by the return of the boy to
his home. 1t is reported on good au-
thority that within a short time Cap
tain Dickinson has been approached
with a proposal for the return of the
boy, the sum of SIC, 900 being demand
ed as ransom and an affidavit of Cap
tain Dickinson not to prosecute. The
offer was not accepted at that time,
but negotiations were pending for the
return of the lost boy. The announce
ment that the child is alive causes

almost universally held, except by the
members of Dickinson's family, that
the boy was killed and devoured
by wild animals, and not abducted as
Captain Dickinson has stoutly main
tanned.
