pers showing he has a right TO pos
session of them.
Cornelius J. Burke. Jr, and his elder
brother, William G. Burke. 70 years Old.

assumed names. They had come from
the home of their fathers brother in
TiDperary. Ireland. The elder boy said
they We're bound for the home of their
mother. Mrs. Florence NJ. Waddell, in
Steiiacoom. Wash.
The fathers presence at the pier evil
IDENTIFY was a surprise to both boys.
When they saw him they drew back,
and William eXclaimed:
Il would rather so to my mother"
The father told the officials he was di-
vorced rom Mrs. Burke in Utah five
years ago, and that she later married
Albert j. Waddell Of StelIaconm ana
Went there to live. taking with her the
two sons and q daughter whom the
courts had awarded to her at. the time
Of her divorce. Burke partly confirmed
ms story by q Seattle newspaper of two
years ago. Burke said WaddelI had
ilistreated the former Mrs. Burke af-
ter their marriage. and she separated
from him short time after having dis
posed of boarding house she ran. He
applied to Utah court for custody of
the children, with the result that all
three were given TIC him. He sent the
youngest child to his brother in Ire
land and placed the girl in Il convent in
Seattle. After Mrs. Waddell sold her
boarding house William went to Ire
land for his brother. 50 Burke told the
officials. Burke's brother sent q cable
message to him recently, saying Cor
nelius, Jr, had been kidnapped by a
man and taken on board the Etruria.
Burke came East at once to meet the
steamship When it arrived he was al
lowed to go aboard to seek his son. lie
was surprised to see William with the
younger boy and both boys evidently
were more surprised to see their IA
Their.
Burke had forgotten to bring with
him the court order granting to him
custody Of the boys. AS there was no
one in a position to be responsible for
the two minors. the immigration Off
Gals refused to allow them to land and
sent them to Ellis Island. The case will
be heard this morning. Meantime
| Burke has telegraphcd to Utah for the
rapcrs. which he says will establish

All but one of the carriers Of the
rural free delivery routes made their
rounds Monday. but some of them had
a pretty hard time on account of the
drifting snow, which, driven by the
high wind, packed into the country
roads. The wind came up very quick
~, and 50 rapidly did the roads fill in
that two OF the carriers came very
near being caught on the wrong end
of the route, but by active work they
succeeded in getting through the drifts
and making their way home before the
roads became impossible.

The work on the overhead bridge at
the Maine Central station is fast APP
preaching completion and the finishing
touches will probably be put on today
or Wednesday. The structure itself is
completed and now the men are at
work on the flight of stairs leading
from the station platform up to the
bridge. These stairs are different from
what was expected, as it was thought
that there would be a short flight from
the bridge down to a landing and anoth-
er short flight from the landing down
to the platform. Instead of that there
is one long flight leading from the land
ing at the east end of the bridge to the
platform, some 50 steps in all.

Supt. McFarlane of the S. d. Warren
Paper Co.'S pulp wood mill at Ken
nebec siding, thinks that the mill will
be in readiness to start up for the sea
son about the first of April, or as soon
as the ice is out of the river. The ice
usually leaves about the middle of the
month. but in view of the extreme
weather of the winter now drawing to
a close Mr.. McF'arlane is inclined to
the belief that the ice will go out
earlier this spring than usual. He has
about 5000 cords of pulp wood at the
mill to begin upon and about 1000
cords to come down with the drive, the
combined lots constituting the seasons
work.

of 2.24A to the dirt, made last season,
and if he is tried out on the ice it is
thought that without doubt he may be
a leading factor in some of the races
on the Hallowell track before the sea-
son for ice racing closes.
