the mother in the house engaged in
housework. The child. in company
with several other small boys, was
playing near his home when ap-
preached by the stranger with the
pony. The boys gathered around the
pony with thoughts of a ride para
mount and little Holden was selected
by the man as his victim.
When the offer of ride failed to
tempt the child away the stranger
pulled out lollypop and when this
failed five-cent piece brought the
desired result. Placing the child on
the pony, they went away together.
Several women noticed the pair pass
ing down the street, but thought little
of 1t. When the child failed to return
at the end of an hour a search was
made at a nearby blacksmith shop
where they were thought to have gone.
No one there knew anything of them
and the alarm was spread. The mother
called passing bicyclist and told her
trouble. Mounting his wheel, and
aided by the reports of men and
women along the State road and State
street, the pursuit was rapid. Turn
ing the corner at Herr and Cameron
streets, the pair were discovered. The
child was recovered and returned to
his home. The kidnaper in the ex-
citement escaped and no trace has yet
been found of him.
