GIRL KEPT
 IN STRANGE HOUSE
 BY UNKNOWN MAN

Boston. Sept @Declaring "A big man with a black mustache'' had lur- ed her awag and that she had been kept in a strange house with another little girl whom she does not know, since Saturday evening. Catherine Da1- ton, 1-2 years old, returned to her home, yesterday. MT. and Mrs. James Dalton, her parents, of 1 Winthrop St.. Roxbury, had been prostrated when all search for the child was futile.
 The child 1ispingly told her father that a man, whom 10 year old Arthur Perry saw carry her from in front of strange house and kept her in a room with another little girl her own age with promise of candy and toys. Cath crime said the man did not hurt her and that he escorted her to within a few blocks of her home, yesterday af- ternoon and told her to run home to Mamma" The man was seen by neighbors he was leaving the child. He was chased several blocks but eluded his pursuers in an alley.
 'tThe man did not hurt us,'' said Catherine in her baby lisp, ''but I got cold and woke up and cried"
 Physicians examined the child and declared she was none the worse for her terrible experience.
 Mortified by the child's story. Cap asked for headquarters detectives to aid his men in searching every vacant tenement and every rooming house in the Roxbury district. No other child has been reported missing and there is no clue to the identity of the other little girl who was kept a prisoner with Catherine.
