naped near the school house at Long
Ridge, Conn, and whose abductors sent
a letter signed "River Boys" to the boys

child's story he was first cajoled into
going with the men, and when he be-
came anxious to return home was threat
encd. Finally he fell asleep, and when
he awoke found himself in bed i'll a
house, he knows not where. He was in
formed that he would be returned when
his father paid the sum they demanded.

carried him long distance, across many
fields. and dropped him in front of the
house Of John Close, clam digger, of
Stanwich, Conn. who is a friend of the
boys father. Ward knocked at the
door and aroused Mr.. Close. 1t was then
2 o'clock i'll the morning. He was ad-
mitted by Mr.. Close, to whom he told
his story. The latter, who had read of
the abduction, at once hitched up his
horse and drove to Mr.. Waterbury's
house at Long Ridge.

SIOUX CITY LANDS
Form the Basis OF Two Importan
Federal Suits.

Federal Suits.
Assistant United States District At
torney George B. Edgertoa yesterday
filed a bill of complaint on behalf of the
United States in the federal court of
Mankato, in which the st. Paul IL Sioux
City Railway company is made defend
ant. The object of the proceeding is to
reclaim several thousand acres Of land
which, 1t is claimed, has been errOn-
eously patented to the state of Mime
sofa for the benefit of the st. Paul 81
Sioux City Railway company. The lands
are located along the line of the road
named.
Part of the same lands located in Mic
ollet county are involved in two causes
tried and submitted Tuesday before
Judge Weber. of the state court. at
by the Winona ana st. Peter
Land company to eject settlers
OH lands. In these actions it
is asserted that the lands described were
enormously certified to the state OF Min
neSota for the benefit of the Winona IL
ST. Peter Railroad company. The Wi
mona and ST. Peter Land company claims
title from the WinOna IL st. Peter Rail
road company, and seeks, in the state
court, to eject the settlers upon the
lands Oh the claim that they are tres
pasSers and have no right to question
rhe title of the Winona and st. Peter
Land company, even though the land
was enormously certified and patented
to the state for the benefit of the rail-
road company. The settlers claim that
the Winona Il st. Peter Land COM
pany must stand or fall upon its title,
and cannot resort to other title to pro-
tect its interests. The amount involved
in these two ejectment suits is two
quarter sections, but the same princi
pies involve the entire amount of lands
embraced in the controversy by the fed
eral government against the st. Paul d
Sioux City Railroad company. The two
causes have been taken under advise
ment by Judge Weber.

War TO The KNIFE,
Building Inspector Johnson
Will Fight to the Very
Last.
Will Hold Office Until the
Courts Decide Against
Him.
His Method Of Getting Even
With Aid. Fred w.
BOtt.
Mr.. Starkey Is Not Losing
Any Sleep Over the
Matter.

The chief topic OF conversation in
city hall circles yesterday was the
fight which the present building
inspector. Gates A. Johnson. pro-
poses to make in order that he mayehold
the Office until 1894. Whether he will
be successful or not will be matter for
the courts to decide. Tho first thing
which Mr.. johnson did when he reached
the Office YESTERDAY morning was to dis
charge Inspector Bott, the father of Aid.
Bot. This step was taken because Mr..
Bot Jr. had the previous evening voted
for Mr.. Starkey for building inspector.
When the building inspector was in
terylewed by GLOBE reporter he stat
ed that he proposed to test the whole
matter of the election In the courts.
Il have just had an interview with
Mr.. Starkey," continued Mr.. Johnson,
land told him that | should contest
his claim to the Office. We understood
one another perfectly, and there will be
no ill feeling. | claim that my term of
office does not expire until 1894. and if
Mr.. Starkey makes demand on me for
the office my lawyers will apply to the
supreme court for writ OF quo war
ranto and that body will decide if am
right in my demands. All [ ask for is
justice, nothing more, and should the
court decide against me shall take my
defeat with good grace"
Mr.. Starkey did not seem to be very
much concerned by the aspect of at
fairs. During the day he formally ten
tered to Mayor Smith his resignation as
member of the board of public works.
u In irp
and issued a commission to eX-ASSem-
blyman Minea. appointing HIM as a
member of the board, vice Mr.. Starkey,
resigned.
The building inspector-elect then
walked over to the city clerks Office
and, before Notary GiItinan, took the
oath of Office. When asked what he
would do in the matter. Mr.. Starkey
said he would make a demand upon Mr..
johnson today for the Office Of building
inspector, to which he had been elected.
AS to the events which would tranSpire,
he would be guided by the city attor-
ney. Il have seen Mr.. Johnson said
Mr.. Starkey, land our meeting was a
pleasant one. He said that he would in
any case desire some days to Straighten
out his papers, and | told him that |
would do all l could to accommodate
HIM"
City Attorney Lawler, when asked
what he thought of the legal points
raised by Mr.. Johnson, said: II under
stand that Mr.. Johnson will take the
matter into the courts. In that case |
should be called upon as city attorney
to appear on behalf of Mr.. Starkey, and
| therefore cannot give any opinion on
the matter, though, like every lawyer, l
have confidence in my own case"
Mayor Smith was of opinion that Mr..
Johnson had very little to complain of.
''He knew his reelection was for two
years." said the mayor, land has been
busy for long time securing pledges
for another reelection. He has been
fairly defeated in the contest, and
should be satisfied"
