Not an Omaha Boy.

Linn Mcintyre. the 1O-year-old boy who
claimed to have been kidnapped in Omaha
and brought here, was not Linn Mcintyre
but is the son OF travelling man named
Calkins, who resides in this city. The
father said that yesterday afternoon a
neighbOr boy and young Calxins decided 20
go to the show. The other boy threw
his new shoes out of the window while
Calkins stood below to get them. Then
they took them down to Smiths second
hand store on o street and pawned them
for money to take in the sights at the
show. The latter failed TO turn up, how
ever, and the boys wandered around town
all the evening, being rather afraid to go
home. It is thought this was the reason
for the boy going to the station. where he
thought he could get a bed and leave town
this morning. He is only 10 years old and
the police say he is the most accomplished
falsiher they have ever come across in
one OF such tender years.
