A CHILD KIDNAPPED.
Later the Body Was Found With Skull
Crushed and Throat Cut.

Philadelphia, Oct 24-With the
forehead crushed and the throat cut,
the body of four-year-old Michael May
erski, who was kidnapped near his
home in Phoenixville, % miles from
this city, Friday evening by band OF
men supposed to be gypsies, was found
Sunday in an abandoned farm house
few miles from Valley Forge. In
connection with the murder six men
belonging to a party of gypsies were
arrested by Chief of Police Carter, OF
Phoenixville, and several constables,
and after an exciting time were lodged
in Jail at that place. Only the cour-
age and quick action of the police
saved the prisoners from being rough
ly handled by large crowd of excited
people.
The child was picked up Friday ev-
ening by party of men who were
driving through the town in two cov-
cred wagons. A boy saw them take
the child but before he could attract
any ones attention to pursue the kid
napers they had disappeared. All day
Saturday and Saturday night search
ing parties were out trying to trace
the wagons, but without success. Sun
day while three hen were in the
woods gathering chestnuts they acci-
dentally came across the body of the
boy. Nearby lay club with hair and
blood on it. The authorities were
quickly notified and the entire police
force of Phoenixville and vicinity
started out in search of gypsy bands.
During the afternoon one party came
across a company of them and took
them into custody. They denied any
knowledge of the crime.
The report that six gypsies had
been arrested soon spread through
Phoenixville and hundreds of men and
women gathered along the streets. AS
the prisoners were brought through
the streets there were cries Of Lynch
them, = Burn them" The officers
drew. their revolvers and kept the an
CRY crowd back. At the lookup large
crowd was gathered. and the officers
had difficulty in getting their prison
ers through the threatening mob into
the Jail The prisoners were badly
frightened.

AT PUERTO PLATA.
The Custom House Seized BY An
American Claimant.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The reported
seizure by the United States of the
custom house at Puerto Plata presum-
ably arises from the already accom-
plished or contemplated occupation of
that port by an American designated
by the commission which awarded to
the Santo Domingo Improvement Co.
$4,500,00O damages against Santo Do
mingo. That award was automatic
ally self-eXecuting and provided that
if Santo Domingo failed to pay the
award the agent named by the COM
mission was to take charge of four of
the customs ports of the island and
apply 60 per cent. of the revenues to
the payment of claims. The affair is
not one in which the United States
government is interested except in
the contingency that the government
of Santo Domingo fails entirely to
meet it's obligations to the improves
lnent company and then only to the
extent of seeing that its interests
shall not suffer through such neglect.
The officials say no forcible interven-
gion by the government of the United
States is contemplated at this time.

Fought TO 1.-THE DEATH
Pistol Duel Between Detectives
and Train RObber Suspects.
Two Officers and One Suspect Dead,
Two Others Fatally Wounded and
Others Badly Injured in
Room in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Oct. 22.-Two city detec-
tives are dead and another is not ex-
pected to live during the night. while
one train robber suspect is at the
morgue and two others are in the city
hospital, one probably fatally wound
ed and the other badly beaten up. as
the result of a desperate battle Fri
day between five officers and three
men whom they tried to arrest. Harry
Adams, who escaped at the time OF
the shooting, was captured later by
Detective Lee Killiam, who fired twice
in making the arrest.
The dead: John ]. Shea, detective;
Thomas Dwyer, detective; Al Rose,
suspect.
The wounded: James McClusky, de-
tective, critical; c. c. Blair, fugitive,
shot four times through the body;
Harry H. Vaughn, fugitive, badly beat
en- about the head by detectives when
he sought to aid his friends in the
battle The fight occurred in the
front room of a house on Pine street,
and the men whom the detectives
sought to arrest are suspected of be-
Ing implicated in train robbery at
Centralia, ILL.,, few weeks ago.
The house had been under police
surveillance for several days. A few
minutes before the fight occurred
Vaughn left the house and started to
walk down Pine street. The detec-
tives closed in on him after he had
gone some distance from the house
and he was arrested.
Accompanied by their prisoner the
detectives returned and entered the
house. Shea, McClusky and Dwyer
were leading; Boyle and James were
behind with the prisoner.
Hardly had the detectives entered
the room in which Rose and Blair
were seated when they were met with
volley of shots from heavy caliber
revolver Shea sank to the floor on
the first shot and Dwyer followed al
most instantly.
By that time the detectives had
drawn their revolvers and there was a
deafening exchange for several sec
onds.
The wounded officers and suspects
were taken to the city hospital. Sew
eral hours after being taken to the
hospital Detective Thomas Dwyer
died 1t was stated then by the ply
sicians that it was feared Detective
McCluskey and C. c.. Blair could not
| live.
Harry H. Vaughn, who admitted that
he sometimes went under the alias of
Harry Adams, told Chief of Detectives
Desmond Friday night that he had
come to ST. Louis from some place in
Ohio, which he refused to name for
the purpose of laying plans with
Blair and Rose for train robbery.
The room in which the battle occur
red was a wreck. Bullet holes per-
forated walls, window sills and furni-
ture, and every article in the room was
overturned or broken.

The board of county commissioners
and the city council have both, at
their meetings this week, discussed
the adyisabllity Of establishing n fer
ry line between Palatka and East
Palatka, and it is more than probable
hat rs II result of their Joint efforts
the line will be established at an ear
ly day.
Chairman Fearmside of the bOnrd
of county commissioners has gone
deeply into the matter. and at the
Tuesday meeting of the board he
had his plans II" for discussion with
the result that they were practically
approved by the board.
At the Tuesday night meeting Of
the city council an appropriation of
$50 per month was made to dcIray u
part of the expense of u ferry line"
and a committee consisting of \ IdCr-
men Keunerly, Walton and Gay was
appointed to confer with the county
commissioners. When this confer
ence was had the right of the city to
appropriate money for this purpose
was questioned, whereupnu Mr..
Kennerly hustled and secured the
full amount of the city's approprid
ton $500 Il year for five years by
private subscription from business
men.
The board of county commission
ers, having undoubted right to ap-
propriate money to maintain ferry,
will do its part, and has asked for
propositions from those vino care to
engage IN the ferry business.
Thr idea is To have the county and
city jointly guarantee the expense ol
the lIue withm proper Ilnlls, the
commissioners to regulate the SIZE ui
the boat, and fix u schedule of fares.
70 tins END the board will ask for
bids or propositions, upon plans and
specifications to be advertised.
The chances are that the ferry line
will be established.
