BOTH ARE LOST.
ISAAC THOMPSON LOSES HIS FAITH.
ER AND VICE VERSA.
A Peculiarly Mysterious Case which
Should BE Thoroughly Investi-
gated - The Facts %
the Matter.

Several days ago Mr.. Thompson, an
itinerant preacher who drove up from
San Diego to this city, reported at the
police station that his 12-year-old boy
had been lost. He said the boy had
gone ahead of him. riding bay mare.
Mr.. Thompson camped at the First
street viaduct and awaited news of the
missing boy.
The police instituted search, but
nothing was heard OF the boy until
yesterday, when Chief Glass received a
letter from Ira Engel, at Lamanda Park.
Mr.. Engel stated that a boy named
Isaac Thompson had called at his house
and he assisted him the next day in
getting q ticket to Los Angeles. The
boy came to the city, but returned
again to Engel's house under the
impression that his father had
been killed by railway accident near
San Diego. He showed Mr.. Engel a
newspaper clipping to the effect that a
man named Thompson had been killed.
The police went to where the boys
father had camped, but could get no
trace OF him. 1t was also found that
the man who was killed by the train WAS
not the boys father, as the accident
happened before the father disappeared.
The boy is being kept by Mr.. Engel
until the father can be found.
