Missing Since Tuesday. He Says Two Men
Kept Him I'm . Shanty.
Eleven-year-old Raymond Maher, who
declares he was kidnapped and held a
prisoner in a shanty on the shore OF the Hud-
son River, was found by his brother on115th
street last night and taken to his home,
52l East lI9th street. He vas so weak from
the lack Of food and proper care that he
collapsed on reaching his home. He re-
viyed later and ate 80 r~avenously that the
family cupboard was considerably depleted.
The boy disappeared on Tuesday after
starting for the school on 12Sth street,
between Second and Third venues. He
SAYS that as he was entering the school
two men stopped him and told him to meet
them at the noon hour. He says they told
him they would cut him in small pieces
II he didn't meet them. When noon came,
he saws he met them near the school and they
took him over to the Hudson River, where
they got into a boat and rowed fer up TO a
shanty, where they kept him with no food
but bread and water.
The men got frightened. the boy says,
when he old hem yesterday morning
that his uncle was a detective ser geant.
They said they were going to get on a
freight train and skip and advised him to
hurry home. Young Maher says he finally
got down to 125th street last night and
was making for his home when his brother
met him.
The police don't take much stock in his
story. Sew eral boys in the neighborhood
saw thew have seen Maher several times on
I25th street since his disappearance.

DEAD IN A COAL CELLAR.

ment House while Intoxicated.
A woman was found dead in a coalbin
In the cellar Of the tenement house at 1856
Second street at 7 o'clock last night. Solo
mon Simons, a tenant, went down for some
coal. When he saw the body lying on the
Goals he ran, calling for the ~janitor.
Policeman Kipp called an ambulance
from Bellevue Hospital, but the woman
had been dead for some time. There were
no signs Of violence. Il seemed probable
from an empty bottle lying beside her that
she had wandered into the place while in
toxicated and laiA down to sleep. She had
taken off most OF her clothes and piled
them in a heap, with a gaudy hat on top.
There was nothing TO tell the woman's
identity. The clothing was shabby and
the shoes were worn out. The woman
seemed about IS years old and had dark
hair and blue eyes.
She could easily have got into the spot
where she was found at any time. She
must have gone in by the main entry,
passed to the back yard and there found
the stairs to the coal cellar. The cause Of
death was apparently alcoholism.

OUTSIDE CAPITAL
IN RECENT DEALS
GOVERNOR OF SOUTH DAKOTA
BUYS PROPERTY
Los Angeles Recognized as Greatest
Field for Profitable investments.
Trading Active on Hill
Street

Despite the rains and the holiday
rush diversion, the past week i'm the
realty field has been quite active in
the closing of several important deals
down Hill street and in other quarters
of the Close-in business district. Per-
haps the most significant feature of the
weeks transactions is the appearance
of outside investors in the Los An
geles market. Governor d. r. Hind
man and associates of South Dakota
have purchased Hill street properties
at a valuation of $12S,U00 paying $50, 600
for one lot and $4,000 for another, the
latter improved with a four-hat build
ing and other structures.
1t is known that the Hartman tunnel
and railway Improvements have had a
decided stimulating effect on realty
values in the southwest and around
Hollywood and Colegrove. The wise,
far-seeing investors are not idle. They
do not require the persuasive realty
agent to point the w; Y, and they are
framing up plans for handsome profits
in several directions.
Principal Deals of the Week
F. w. Blake has purchased the lot
on the southwest corner of Ninth and
Hill streets, 45x155 feet to alley for
$135,000. The seller was r. F. Vogel
who recently sold the southwest corner
of Seventh and Broadway for $3.50, ,000
The purchase was made through the
Van Vranken Hunter Realty company,
who also recently negotiated the north
east corner of Seventh and Hill streets
at 100000 for E. S. Rowley.
The above sale il looked upon as a
very desirable holding, considering the
fact that the Hamburger Realty COM
pany has just sold a small inside lot,
40x115 feet, between Broadway and Hill
streets, for $500 per foot.
The Title Insurance and Trust COM
pany has sold to Governor d. T. Hind
man of Britton, S. D., ard associates,
through the agency of Black Bros
and Julian S. Newman, the southeast
corner of Hill and Sixteenth streets,
fronting 100 feet on Hill by 102 feet on
Sixteenth street, improved with four
flats, an eight-room house and a six
room cottage. Consideration, $7S,000.
Purchased as an investment.
The Hamburger Realty and Trust
company sold through the agency of
Blenkiron Bros. the east forty feet Of
lots II and 12, block SO, of the Huber
tract, for $4,000, to a syndicate headed
by Governor Hindman of South Da-
kota; Joseph Harker and John owen.
