THE ABDUCTION OF FLORENCE.
Facts About the Affair TeIegraphed from
Cleveland.

Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, o., June Eugene Cowles,
whose shooting at Montreal is announced,
is the eldest son of Edwin Cowles, founder
of The Leader, and was intended by his
father to be his successor on the paper.
But he developed no journalistic ability,
and instead went into mining pursuits.
He is cOnsumptive, and cannot live in this
country except during the warm months.
His doctors do not give him more than a
few years to live under the most favorable
circumstances When he and his wife
separated under proceedings for divorce
brought by Mrs. Cowles, the court gave
him the privilege of seeing his daughter
Florence whenever he was in town, the
privilege to be enjoyed at the residence of
Mrs Chase, with whom the mother of
Cowles lives.
The Young Mans Inldelity.
Ten years ago Cowles was married to
Miss Alice Hale, daughter of f. b. Hale, a
banker of Cleveland. For five years all
went well, when Cowles began to absent
himself from home, alleging that bust
ness called him to Lockport, n Y. His
business was to see young woman named
Wilson. Editor Cowles, Eugene's father,
suspected something wrong and told his
daughter-in-law to tell him if she had any
trouble. One day Eugene went home and
stated that he had to go east on business
He unknowingly dropped telegram
which his wife read 1t was from Miss
Wilson Mrs Cowles sent n detective tC
watch him, and her suspicious were fully
confirmed.
Didn't Keep His Word.
She then told her father-in-law, and ht
told her that he washed his hands of Eu-
gene-to do what she pleased. 1t should
be stated that Eugene had promised in
writing previously that he would be true
to his wife, and this violation of his word
of honor cut his father to the heart. Wher
he made his will he allowed each of his
sons an income of 5000 per year, but pro
vided that Eugene should give his wife and
child s., 600 of his income. 1t was to force
his wife to let him have possession of the
whole s., 900 that he stole the child Flor
ence
Carried Her OF at Pistols Point.
Mr. Cowles came to this city from Lock
port on Thursday of last week and re
remained until Monday. Monday after
noon he sent for Florence and, after talk
| ing with her little while, invited her to
90 to the station with him to see him off
There was something in his manner that
aroused the suspicion of Mrs. Chase, his
sister, and she insisted on accompanying
them. At the station he informed Mrs
Chase of his intention to take Florenc.
| with him. She earnestly protested and
even resisted him. A scene occurred which
attracted a crowd, but Mr.. Cowles threat
ened to shoot anybody who interfered and
got the child aboard the train just as il
| started east. Mrs. Chase gave the alarm
| and within two hours sheriff's officers ha6
| started in pursuit, but were unable II
catch him in this country.

ashore they tried to climb on the boat,
which was so heavily ballasted that their
weight would force her beneath the sur
face, leaving them struggling in the
water. The result was that seven were
