THOUGHT LOST
BOY WAS HERE

Considerable excitement was caused
in this city yesterday afternoon when
it was reported that the abductors Of
little Horace n. Marvin had come into
the Christiana river in the launch in
which they had carried off the boy.
The police received a telephone mes
sage from New Castle that the boy and
his captor were coming 10 THIS cry.
and they at once started a search. In
some manner the news leaked out and
In a short time more than a 100 people
were along the shores Of the stream
looking for the launch.
George Meyers. while working on his
boat moored at the docks OF the Pusey
ard Jones Company. heard a launch
passing, but paid no attention to IL.
He afterwards thought u was early for
a launch TO be out and when he looked
up from the bottom of his boat the
craft had disappeared. He then heard
the rumor that the kidnappers were IN
the creek. and he started his own boat
down IN stream. He went as far as
the railroad bridge but saw no one.
Penneu stetser and William Murphy
bridge tenders al Third street and
Market street bridges. each declared
no small craft other taan the regular
tugs had passed in or out Of the creek.
The police made thorough investiga-
ton. but could not find any one who
had seen the mysterious craft. The
offer OF a big reward brought out hun
dreds Of searohers and many OF them
remained along the stream until long
after dark last night, but their Efforts
wera fruitless.
