positive that he has found his son
Cecil, who was kidnapped from his
parents at Toll Gate, in the Blue
mountains, two years ago. The
boy found is the same seen by j.

titled and came to Spokane. With
the aid of a searching party the
child was found hanging around

Britain was certain at first that
he had recovered his son. His ap-

If it had not been for the sharp or
