Seattle, Wash., Sept. 10.—Tho lit/
was thrown into the wildest excileuient
by the kidnapping of William E. Baijey,
the young millionaire, and R. B. Albert
son, his attorney, thia afternoon,'by
Detective Sullivan. Bailey is aaid
to be worth at least 1(2,000,000,
is the owner of the Harris
burg block here, president and director
of several banks, and a large real estate
owner. He is also proprietor of the
Press-Timea. Albertson is a second ,
cousin of Albertson, the absconding
cashier of the Fidelity Trust company,
of Tacoma, aud it is supposed Sullivan
abducted him in order to obtain
some information about the absconder.
Sullivan enticed the men into a closed
carriage, and it ia supposed he held a
revolver at their heads until they were
out of the city. When the cab was two
miles of town Bailey and Albertson were
yelling for help, but it is said Sullivan
threatened to ehoot several men who
attempted to rescue them.
Arutnor has been circulated that Bai
ley is suspected of having the securities
stolen from the bank in liis possession.
A posse of police and deputy sheriff's are
out on horseback chasing the carriage,
and a special train with over one hun
j tired leading citizens is on the way to
Tacoma.
It is learned that Detective Sullivan
drove to Black River Junction, nine
miles from Seattle, where the hack was
dismissed. Sullivan is waiting for tho
Seattle trnin to take them to
Tacoma. Thia train is two honrs
late, and beitro it arrives, it is thought
Sullivan will be arrested and his pris
oners set at liberty. The city is greatly
excited, and Sullivan may meet with a
warm reception on his return here.
Detective Sullivan and his two depu
ties were captured at Black River Junc
tion, on the arrival of tho train there at
11 o'clock, by Chief Rogers and a posse
of f pecial deputies, ami the whole patty
returned on the regular train from
Tacoma, about midnight. Sullivan bud
a Pierce county warrant for Albertson,
charging him with having knowledge of
his cousin's whereabouts. This war
rant, however, waa not endorsed by
King county officials.
Sullivan and bis men caught Albert
son and Bai'ey aa they were going to
dinner at the Ranier club, and one of
them told Alberteon he had a
warrant for his arrest. Albertson de
manded to see the warrant. The deputy
detectives said, get into the hack and
we will drive to your office. Bailey
offered to go with his friend The de
tectives demurred to this, but finally
both Albertson and Bailey got, into the
carriage. The doors were shut and two
armed-detectives then held their pris
oners while the hack waa driven away
through the heart of the city.
Not until they had reached South
Seattle were violent hands taken off
them. Then Bailey and Albertson com
menced cry ing fbr help. They forced a
window open, and passers-by recognized
! them and gave chase. Sullivan, who
I was on the box with the
: driver, drew revolvers, and made his
j pursuers turn, at the same time
'saying to Bailey: "Put your head in
that window or I'll blow it off "
The party drove to Black River Juno*
I tion, where the driver rebelled, and the
i party left the carriage to wait for a
I train. It happened to be two hours
bite, and when it did arrive,
Chief Rogers was aboard with Judge
Burke and about fifty others. Sullivan
at first refused to be arrested, but finally
gave up. Tbe whole party returned,
listiley was not wanted at all. but was
taken because he was with Albertson.
Sullivan and his deputies have been
placed in the county jail, being unable
I to get bond.

Tournament.
Chicago, Sept. 10. —This was a gala
day in the United States army national
shooting tournament —the first day of
competitive skirmish firing. The eight
marksmen who composed the first, skir
mish line, stepped up to the <>00-yard
limit and waited for the signal to start.
When it came they stirted off with a
swinging stride; then iv quick succes
sion came the signals: "double time,"
"halt," "fire." At the command to fire,
the men dropped on the giound full
length and the rifles began to
crack. Then for thirty seconds it
was a continuous roar, the bullets
whistling in the air and embedding
themselves iv the back stop, dust and
pebbles showering around the figures.
At the command, "Cease firing," the
men arose and the process was repeatetl
until ten halts were made. Some ex
ceptional good runs were made, three
of them breaking the previous skirmish
records on this range. Sergeant Pow
ell, D company, Fourteenth infantry,
whose score of 173 points was the best
tnade Wednesday at the target shooting,
piled up a grand total of 145 points
in his afternoon runs, but his
forenoon run was only 99, so for the day
he got but 184 points, which was
equalled by but three contestants, how
ever. Sergeant Mayer, Ci. company,
I7t.h infantry, made the second best run,
riddling the figures to the extent of 14S
points. His morning run was 118,
bringing his averttging for the day up to
131. Sergeant Rose, A. company, 18th
infantry, Bcored 115 in the morning, and
137 in the afternoon, average 120. His
previous score gave him a total of 401
points, which places him first among the
army team men. Powell is second and
Mayer third. The distinguished ritle
marksmen, to use a camp expression,
are "not in it," but three of them scor
ing 300. Corporal Sweinhart, whose
phenomenal score of 175 Tuesday,
placed him far in the lead, made but
96 points, yet so indifferently did the
distinguished men shoot, that he still
retains second place. Private Davis, B
company, Sixteenth infantry, who
scored an average of 110, is first, with a
total of 438.
