Kelso, Wash, Nov. 20.-Dr. F. /.
Ball, dentist, of Portland. who was
thought to be drowned at Kalama last
Friday night, reached Kelso this even
ing, after a most remarkable expert.
ence with robbers and kidnapers. He
reached Kalama from Portland last
Friday, and the same night went to
Goble, returning to Kalama at 2
O'Clock in the evening. The night was
dark, and while cropping his way upon
the wharf he was pounced upon by
three men, and was choked, gagged
and robbed.
After being robbed. D.. Ball was
taken beneath the wharf and held a
prisoner until late hour, when he was
made to accompany the robbers north
on the Northern Pacific railroad track
to point about four miles above Kelso,
in all about fourteen miles. He was
cluded shack, which was reached about
daybreak Saturday morning. Here the
doctor was held prisoner until about 8
o'clock this morning, when he was
given his liberty. He was guarded at
the shack by two of the men, while the
third reconnoitered.
When given his liberty, the doctor
was misdirected, but, suspecting that
he was misinformed, took the opposite
direction. He became bewildered and
lost his way, until about 8 O'Clock this
afternoon, when he heard a train on
the coal road of the Anchor mine,
which he soon reached, and which he
followed to the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad. He reached the home
of W. Fl. Yancey, about two miles
from this place, at s O'Clock. He told
him his adventures. He was given
supper, and, having lost his hat, he re-
ceivd one from Mr.. Yancey. who d.
rected him to Kelso, where he arrived
about o'clock this evening.
1t is the opinion of the doctor that
he was taken into the mountains to be
held until the robbers could get out Of
the country. They were common
hobos, and not familiar with the To-
oality. The doctor was relieved of $35
in money, a college pin and watch and
chain. The watch was afterwards re-
turned.
The doctor describes his assailants as
follows: Two smooth. faced men, one
about 8 years old. the other about 20,
with scurvy marks on arm. He had
been a sailor. The third man had a
dark, shaggy beard of about one
oonth's growth, was aged about IS,
and was about feet 10 inches in
height. The doctor Immediately sent
a dispatch to his relatives in Portland.
He gives his experiences cody, and
seemingly has not suffered from the or
deal through which he passed.
