.WARD THE KIDNAPER,
Ferdinand Gives His Version of
His Attempt to Secure His
Child

Ferdinand Gives His Version of
Child.
WEBSTER, Mass, Sept. 14.-Ferdinand
Ward, the eX-banker, who is charged
with the attempted abduction of his ten
year-old son, was seen today by an AS
sociated Press reporter, to whom he re-
lates his version of the affair. He stated
that while he was in Sing Sing prison
his wife made will bequeathing her
entire estate to their son Clarence, and
naming MIR. Wards brother as guardian
of the child. Before Wards release Mrs.
Ward died, and Wards brother being
on an extended European tour, the
property went into the hands of the
public administrator, who Immediately
named +. |. Green, of Thompson, Conn.,,
as guardian, allowing him about 5000
year for the boys support and educa-
tion. Upon his release from Sing Sing,
Ward was notified by Green that he
might have possession of the boy, but
he was not then situated SO that he
could give him a suitable home. Later,
however, when he had settled in Brook
lyn, where he is now employed
as all accountant. he sent for
his son, and Green fatty re-
fused to give up the boy. Ward
has made repeated attempts to
secure Green's consent, but having
failed in these. and being determined to
get the child in his own hands, he
planned and helped TO execute the alb.
duction which would give him what he
claims is now the legal right, the
guardianship of his own son.
The property, amounting to over S75,-
900, at the time of Mrs. Wards death
was placed in the control of the Holland
Trust Company of New York, and still
remains there. Ward declares that he
will continue his efforts to secure pos
session of his son until he is successful.

usual preparatory studies he entered
the University of Toronto and became a
student of McGlll Medical college, in
whleh famous institution he speedily
fook high rank Tor diligence and ability.
Graduating at the head of his class he
was selected, with his present business
partner, DIR. w. /. Duncan, to become
the resident surgeons Ill the Montreal
city hospital, distinction that
carries with it more substantial
form of commendation than any mere
diploma or medal could do. At the
close or his three years term of
service i'll the hospital he came to the
United States. and removed to Mime
sofa in 1882. He came at once to
Fergus Falls and entered on the prac-
tlce OF his profession III company with
DR.. Duncan. The young firm speedily
became the recognized leaders of the
profession in this neighborhood, and
their practice soon extended not only
throughout The length and breadth of
Otter Tail county, but included several

to Fergus Falls, DR.. Mclean has always
been identihed with the growth and

GOLD Is COMING IN.
RESERVE SHOWS \ STEADY
INCREASE.
Lowest Point in the Trea sury's
History Reached Aug. SIN
crease of $5,OOO,oOO.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE net cash
in the treasury at the close OF business
today was Sl27, lG2. HI. OF which S56, g4S,-
524 represented the gold reserve.
The gold reserve has been steadily
climbing upward for the past month.
On Aug. S it reached its lowest point in
the record of the department. s52, lS9,.
500. Since that date it has increased
almost S5,0OO.O0O. and the increase has
largely allAyed the fears of the treasury
officials. During the past week it has
increased over 81, 100, 900. This increase
is accounted for by the surrender of
gold voluntarily by banks aud its eX-
change for small notes. During the
past week S216000 have been so ey-
changed. The balance of the increase
is due to the purchase of bulion at
Helena, Denver and Charlotte, \. c.
The large increase in the output of gold
i'll Colorado and Montana piles up the
gold reserve, as it finds its way directly
to the assay officers of the government.
