From the files OF the Mining News
we give brief history OF the child's
diappearance.
Willie w. Dickinson. son OF Capt
and Mrs W. r. Dickinson OF the
Commonwealth mine, left the school
house al Commonwealth 20 go home
on the first day OF November, 1881. In
the afternoon. He was then not quite
six years OF age. Willie stopped on
| his way at the home OF his uncle,
which was nearby. TO get his coat
and, saying to his aunt that he was
going home, left the house and start
ed for his fathers residence. which
was not far. A teamster from the
mine met him and asked him 10 ride,
but the little fellow refused. saying
that he was i'm a hurry 10 get home
10 his mamma. TIE boy then start
ed to run home fast as his little legs
would carry him. Just before the
/ teamster met the boy he encounter
ed two strange men In the roadway
who sneaked into the recesses OF the
! thick woods. as If to avoid being
seen. II was about $3.50 In the af-
1 ternoon when the teamster met the
child and In about eight minutes af-
terwards willies sister. Lottie, on
horseback, accompanied by man
servant passed along the same road
| but saw nothing OF either the little
one or the two strangers. lt was full
~ six o'clock before Il became APP
parent that Willie was actually lost
and then aid and help was summoned.
BY $50 o'clock over 900 men were
searching the woods. This search
was kept up for days, weeks and
/ months and finally a number OF
trained experienced Indians took up
/ the hunt and searched every inch OF
woods for miles and miles and the
search was then finally abandoned
and meanwhile the family accumulat-
ed evidence enough that the child had
/ been stolen. Mr.. Dickinson offered a
reward of $4,000 and the mining COM
pany also offered a reward for the re-
covery OF the boy. Later reward
OF 500 pound was also offered In Eng
land for his return as clues pointed
az one time that he had been taken
to that country.
Mrs. Dickinson followed clue af-
ter clue in this country for her lost
boy and she was the medium through
which 10 kidnapped children were re-
stored 10 their parents. With all the
clues and with the aid OF the best
detectives in the country and with the
