SAYS HE WAS KIDNAPPED.
For six Weeks DR.. Conkling Alleges That
He Was Kept Prisoner.


He Was Kept Prisoner.
CAssoPoLIs, Mich. oct. I9.-Dr. A. b.
Conkling has returned and says he was
kidnapped on the night Of Sept by two
negroes and driven all night to the house
OF some colored people, where he was kept
in confinement one week and then taken
to some city unknown to him and turned
over to two men. After this he was cart
ed around BY night and confined in build.
ings by day, always under guard His
captors always wore masks, and he would
be unable to recognize them
He was released Tuesday night and
walked until he reached house which
he found was few miles from Cinoin-
natl. He pawned his watch there for
money with which to get home. He left
Cincinnati yesterday. His captors chang
ed his clothes and shaved of his mus
tache. He was told it was necessary for
him to remain outside Of Michigan for
some time but was given no reason. I'm
I'll within the last 10 days he was confined
part Of the time in the woods and ravines
The night of his capture he was sandbag-
ged or at least rendered unconscious. He
knows nothing Of what happened during
the last six weeks. He telegraphed his
wife that he would DO home last night,
but she had removed to Manchester three
weeks ago.
He is in perfectly rational condition
and tells his story with great degree of
credibility. When he reached his home
he found it occupied by another family
He has no clew to the perpetrators and is
unable to account for his abduction I'M
less it is because he would have been an
important witness for the prosecution in
the trial of DR.. Anderson in Traverse
City. who has been acquitted Of the charge
of abortion.

The Progress., 1894-03-17

cludes the accidental discovery of fire
by hairless apes
Some large hairless apes, 80 the story
runs, were playing on the seashore
with fints and crystals. Becoming
tired they sat down upon some dry sea-
weeds and amused themselves by strik-
ing the pebbles together. All at once
a spark lighted the seaweeds and gave
the apes good scorching before they
realized what had happened. The pro-
cess of evolution had made them hair
less and this calamity burned their
tails off.
They did not howl with pain, how
ever, nor run into the water to allay
their suffering, but set about preserv-
ing the fire by carrying driftwood and
seaweed to feed it. With this fire they
cooked food, the eating of which
quickly transformed them into regula-
ton Cinnamon.
The South Sea Islanders tell two
different stories regarding the way
they came into possession of fire.
according to one of these great
