did not come home at the usual hour
in the afternoon.
Conductor Lowe did his whole duty
in the premise, and on the arrival oi
the train at Portland, the girl was
taken over by the Young Women's
Christian Association, and the british
chap that had lured her from home,
found himself in the uncompromising
hands of the police, who had been put
in touch with the escapade.
Catherine E. Barnum, of the Y. w.
c. A. depot squad, to whose safe and
capable custody Clara Millard was
turned over, at once got the child's
story in all its bearings and lost no
time in wiring the unhappy parents.
And, in obedience to instructions
from the Millard home, Clara was
sent back to Seaside on the noon ex-
press of yesterday, and is now safely
lodged against the stupid wiles of
such as Blunk.
Bunk will be brought to this city
today by Sheriff Pomeroy, and the
case will take its due course at the
bar of justice. Assistant District At
torney McCue will see to it that he
is vigorously prosecuted on both
charges; and if the victims of his lust
and folly will but stand by the true
tales of their experiences at his hands
he will not know much OF freedom
for many year to come.
Mr.. Millard, the father of the
family, is man of unusual intelli-
gence and nice address, and feels
deeply the burden of disgrace that
has fallen to his lot and that of his
patient wife; but he is one of those
men, whose citizenship is of sort
to bear still more in such cause, in
order that society may be purged Of
the presence of such beasts of prey as
this man Bunk has shown himself
to be; and, with the aid of his un-
happy children, will prosecute him to
the farthest limit of the law. He is
quiet, unassuming man of about 50;
hard working, law-abiding, Chris
tian man, who, with his wife, enjoys
the respect of all who know and deal
with them, down i nthe coast country;
and when he started up here yester-
day, to pursue the legal steps re-
quisite in the case, he was repeatedly
offered unstinted help from. leading
citizens there who sympathized with
him in the extraordinary dual load OF
bitterness, that has been thrust upon
him, but he declined all such over
lures, until, as he said, his "last re-
source should be exhausted and he
had to turn to his friends"
It is an exceedingly sad case and
one that should be plummed to the
last depth Of rigid investigation and
to which the concurrent rigor of re-
prisal should be applied.
