The Fathers Greeting.
With tears streaming down his face
Hiram Bishop greeted his son Harry
Friday morning in the Office Of Chief
Of Police Clemens. When they met on
The arrival Of the chief and party who
had just come from up the river on
the street cars Hiram Bishop at
once acknowledged the young fellow
before him as his son and he appeared
to be glad that he had returned not
from the dead as he at first supposed,
Z bnt that he was living and well. While
{ the tears were coming the father stood
and looked at his son. not in a dazed
sort Of way but with that love show.
Ing in his eyes that a parent has for
bis offspring. He could not control
his feelings in the least and wept for
quite a while after he had been
brought in where his son was.
Chief Clemans. Harry Bishop, OFF,
cers Hinkelman, Kelley and the others
who were In the party which went to
plum Run, three miles from Smith
field, Thursday night, arrived in
Wheeling this morning at about seven
o'clock after one Of the hardest trips
itwould have been possible to make
in this section of the country. The
party had been up all night and they
we're a tired looking set when they ar.
rived here. Chief Clemans told of his
trip after the young man who was sup
posed to have been dead and buried,
as follows:
All Night Search.
Fl left here and with Charles
Adams of the gas office, who formerly
played ball with Bishop, went to Bril-
liant, Mingo and then to Steubenville.
We searched all three Of those towns
and during the afternoon got word
from lieutenant Hastings that a let
ter had been received here by Charles
DIETRICH, driver for Asmus, in which
the statement was made that Bishop
was at Rodgersville, Ohio. We had
quite a time locating that towa but
finally found out it was the name OF
the postofice at Plum Run, where the
United States Coal Company's mines
are located. at once ordered link
Gilman and Kelley to come to Warren
ion and on meeting them there We got
an express wagon and team and start
ca for Plum Run. 1t was one Of the
worst drives have ever taken. The
mud was bad and it was dark and cold
Every little while we wcrc COM
pelled to inquire the way and did not
arrive at Plum Run until late in the
night. We aroused Manager Carter
Of the company store and he told us
where we would find Bishop. He also
said the man we were after was
afraid of being arrested and would
run il he saw us. We went 10
the home of the Cousins, where Bish'
op was staying, and found him in bed
After assuring him he would not be
molested he consented to come to
Wheeling and we started back, max
ing the drive to warrenton, crossing
the river to Short Creek and taking
the car for Wheeling.
Reason for Mistake.
There is every reason why the
relatives of the young man could have
been mistaken in their identification
Of the body Of the dead man they
buried as their son."
Chief Clemans has no idea whom
the dead man may be, but stated that
he believed the story told by Smith,
the man who talked with him in the
park to the effect that he was from
the east. The chief is also of the
opinion that the dead man was de,
mented, and as evidence of this PORTS
