THE WRONG PEOPLE.

Salt LAX Getty, March 1.-Two
women and a man were taken from
the southbound train here, the po-
lice believing that a child in their
custody was the missing son of DR..
Horace Marvin, of Dover, Del. At
the police station the suspects very
promptly eXonerated themselves and
were released. II transpired that
the trio had been followed all the
way from Chicago by private detec-
tives and that the latter gave the tip
which caused the travellers so much
annoyance.
The lad supposed TO be the Marvin
child proved to be the 3 year old son
of b. T. Pattee, a trainman on the
Oregon Short Line, Of Salt Lake. The
child had been in the custody of his
grandmother at Seven Oaks, Wis,
since the death of his mother last
year. The father has since remar-
ried and sent for the child who came
through in care of conductors and a
Salt Lake woman who refused to
give her name.
