All Olyphant was I'm an uproar last
night, over the reported kidnapping of
Geraldine Heffron, the golden-hai
little 3-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Heffron, who live at the
upper end of Dunmore street, near the
Throop borough line
The little girl and her 6-year- -old
brother ran out of the house yesterday
afternoon to play, shortly after 8
o'clock. About fifteen minutes later the
little boy came running back into the
house and told his mother that II tall
man had met tkem on the road and
had told Geraldine that her mother
wanted her and that he would take her
to her.
The man took the little girl by the
hand, the boy said, and led her Off
through what is known as the Albach
farm and towards the Marshwood
woods on the mountain-side.
Mrs. Heffron became almost frantic
with anxiety and Immediately began
making inquiries among the neighbors
Several said that they had seen the
little girl walking across the field with
u strange man, whom they described as
being tall and powerful-looking.
When night came OH and there was
no sign of the little ones return, the
father organized a searching party
among the neighbors and over fifty
men started out on search, armed
with lanterns. This number was gradu-
ally swelled to nearly a hundred, and
a systematic securing of the whole
mountain-side was begun. At midnight
u number of men were still out, but no
trace of the missing little girl had been
found. Feeling ran high among the
searchers and it would probably have
Jared i'll with the man who is supposed
to have taken the child away had he
been found.
The little boy was unable last night
to give an intelligent description of the
man who led his sister away. He said
that he was q big man and that he
never saw him before.
The police in all the cities, both up
and down the valley, were notified by
telephone of the affair and the follow
ing description of the little girl was
sent out: Three years old; light hair,
blue eyes; unusually plump with espe-
cially fat hands: wore blue gingham
dress and no hat.
Unless the man had some tiendish
purpose in mind. it is hard TO get at
any motive for the kidnapping of the
child, whose parents are in poor cir
cumstances, the father being Il hard
working laborng man.
The case brings to mind the nysteri-
Gus disappearance of little Paul Skoda
from his home. near the Brisbin patch,
some two weeks ago. The Skoda boys
parents are in humble circumstances
also. and If he was kidnapped there
apparently could have been no hope of
securing Il reward on the part of his
kidnap2ers.
The police, since their fruitless search
for the boys body on the West noun
tain yesterday, We're inclined to accept
kidnapping theory last night before
they had heard of the disappearance of
the little Heffron girl.

The select council last night unani-
| mously adopted u resolution directing
the city solicitor to petition court for
q mandamus on Director of Public
Works Roche to compel him to erect a
temporary bridge on Ash street, over
the Roaring Brook. The resolution was
introduced by Councilman John Nageli
of the Tenth ward.
A resolution was passed by both
| councils some time ago, directing the
director to erect Il temporary bridge at
| the point named but the latter refused
to comply with it for the reason. as he
stated, that there were no available
funds to. pay the cost of construction.
Recorder w. l.. Connell sent in a
communication vetong the ordinance
providing for the execution of a cons
tract with John U. Hopewell for the
printing and binding of 500 copies of q
council manual. The reason assigned
for the veto was that the fiscal year is
already so far advanced that the manu-
ais will not be needed until next year.
The veto was unanimously sustained.
| Two communications received from
Director of Public Works Roche were
referred to the estimates committee.
| The first was in the nature of an eX-
PLANTATION regarding the increased cost
of the maintenance of horses in the de-
| partnent and contained a rather caus-
| tic reference to a custom which Mr.
Roche says is practiced by the depart
nent of public safety. The worn-out
| horses from the latter department. he
says, are turned over to his depart
ment and when they are fattened up
they are taken back and more played
out nags are given him to use.
Cost of Heating Increased.
| The other communication was in ref
erence to an increase of the charge for
heating city hall from $1.337 to 81 ,6S5
per year This increase was made by
the Economy Light Heat and Power
company, he says. without notice

nell, asking that the balance of $3056. %
remaining in the bureau of healths
