STOLEN CHILD RECOVERED.
After Nine-Years' Search that I'M
pOverished the Parents. Taken
from a Band of Gypsies.

Charlottesville, Ind, Oct. 22.-Nine
years ago the ten-year-old daughter
of Peter Bell, miller living at st.
Marys, o., failed to return home from
school. Although the canal was firm
ly frozen the belief became general
that she had been drowned, though
her father doubted and spent his
meager savings searching for her.
Last August band of gypsies
camped near the Bells mill, and one
of them, out of revenge, told Bell
that his child had been abducted by
a gang of gypsies that had camped
near the place nine years ago. He
said he had come all the way from
Mexico, No., to inform the father of
the whereabouts of his long-lost child.
Bell at once made preparations to
search for the girl, and with Mrs.
Bell and their other daughter, started
for indianapolis by wagon. There
they sold their wagon and began the
journey on foot. They walked to
Peoria, H., from there to Quincy, to
Keokuk, Ia, and finally traced the
gypsies to Carthage, Mo. Arriving at
Carthage last Saturday the Bells
found Lee and his band in camp.
When Lee was confronted by the ia
Their of the girl and local officers he
attempted gun play, but the officers
covered him and he gave up the girl.
The young woman says she has been
compelled to beg food and clothing
for the entire band of gypsies, who
have at all times treated her cruelty.
The camp was composed of about
twenty people, and they roved all
over the middle west. Mr.. Bell will
try to have the abductors indicted and
extradited to Mercer county, Ohio, for
trial. Bell has spent his every cent III
the search for his daughter.

PAT GROVE WRITES AGAIN.
Insists on Having Assurance ms TO
bond Before Surrcndering
to the Police.

Omaha, Neb, Oct. 22,-Pat Grove
has written another letter to Chief-of-
Police Donahue. This latest com
munication from the alleged kidnaper
was mailed in Omaha and states that
the much.wanted Pat Is secluded
within 25 miles of this city. The
writer insists that unless he is given
assurance from the court that his
bond will not exceed $500 he will not
give himself up. The communication
is evidently written by the same man
that wrote n letter to the chief week
ago. A brother OF Pat Grove and n
sister both identified the writing 40
that Of the man who has so long
cvaded the police and detective forces
of the country, They profess to be-
lIevc that their brother Is near Oma'
hn at this time. They also deny that
they have an uncle living In Man
chester, Ia, and say the only uncle
they have, II he Is still living, resided
In Ireland.

BLOW AND Be DID.
A Plucky Express Messenger Who
Was Not Scared by Threats
Of Dynamite.
He FINALLY STOOD THE ROBBERS OFF,
Attempt to Rob the No-th-DoupJ
Southern Pacific Overland IA
prrss. Near Wakes station,
south of Eugene, Ore-senrrhinS
Fer the bandits.

Eugene, IRE, Ocl, Gf.- ne hol III
bound Southern Pacific overland eX-
press, which was due here at 3:42
Wednesday morning, was held up by
robbers near Walkers station, Is
miles south of here, at 3 a. m, and
the express car badly damaged, but
the booty of the robbers amounted
to little. Two men boarded the train
at Cottage Grove, climbing on as the
train pulled out. After passing Walk
er's, which is four miles from Cot
tage Grove, they climbed over the
tender and covered Engineer Jack
Nichols and Pie fireman and his help
er.
Tue Train stopped.
The train was ordered to stop, af-
ter which the frmean and helper
were ordered to uncouple the train
between the express car and the first
coach. Engineer Nichols was then
ordered to pull ahead, the fireman and
helper being left behind. After GO
ing short distance the train was
stopped, and the robbers proceeded to
the express ear, taking with them the
engineer. The express car was blown
open with dynamite, and Express
Messenger c. Charles was ordered out,
but he refused to go, and with his
shotgun commanded the situation in
side the car The robbers ordered
him to come out or be blown up with
the ear, but he responded:
elbow and be Dad.
"Blow and be id" The car was
then ridded with rife bullets, which
did not injure the messenger, who
kept up a continuous fire from the
inside, which held the robbers at bay,
A charge of dynamite was then
thrown into the car with a burning
fuse, but Charles grabbed it and
threw it outside, where it exploded.
Next the robbers compelled the en-
gineer to crawl up TO the opening in
side of the car, hoping to use him as
protection from the messenger
shots, but the messenger kept up II
steady fire over the engineers head,
and still held the robbers at bay.
The Robbers Desisted
The robbers then gave up their eff
forts 10 secure the express treas ire
and went for the mail. They secured
the registered mail, then cut the en-
CINE from the rest Of the train and
ordered Engineer Nichols to pull
ahead. They ran to Jenkins point, in
the outskirts of Eugene, where they
disembarked, and ordered the en-
gineer TO return and get his train.
The train arrived here at 1880. about
four hours late. The news was wir"d
from Saginaw, and officers went out
in search of the robbers but as yet
have secured no trace of them. They
are handicapped by having no descrip'
ton of the men. Posses from both
Lane and Douglass counties are out in
search Of the bandits.
