ANOTHER ABDUCTION.

A Pittsburg Boy Lured Away by q
"Friend1y Appearing Man.
PITTsBURG, Feb. 8-A bold abduction Of
a boy was made last night at Jacks Run.
The son of Mrs. Kane was eniiced away
from home by a man. The police are in
vesigating.
John Kane aged eight years. and James
Hughes year younger, were playing in
front of their homes about o'clock last
night when a man came Up and offered
them some candy. He was very friendly,
and, as they wanted more candy, they fol-
lowed him down the Fort Wayne tracks al
most to Jacks Run, where he said he would
get them some When near Jacks Run he
sent the Hughes boy back, giving him five
cents to purchase lead pencil. This was
but pretext to secure the boy Of Mrs.
Kane.
Hughes got the pencil and returned, but
the man and the boy had disappeared.
Hughes went back home and related the
facts. He could not give a good descrip-
ton of the man. The latter, he said. was
large man and fairly we'll dressed. The
the mother of the child, was nearly hys-
terical when questioned last night. She
had no idea why her son should be taken
from q poor woman.
Her husband lie her about two years
ago, and since then she has not heard from
him. This fact was marked by the police,
and they do not doubt the probability OF
the child being abducted by the father.
Mrs Kane, however, said the description
of the man did rot correspond with the
appearance of Mr.. Kane.
