JLONG LOST BOY IS LOCATED.
Charles Colby, the Hypnotized Qrandin Boy,
Is Located Near Staples.
s|
Charles Colby, the 14-year oM: Hoy.
who was placed under hypnotic in
fluence and taken from his home near
Grand in by a man named John Krohh a
•few weeks ago, has been located
He was found working on a farm
north of Staples with the man who had
^kidnapped him. The father has been no
tified of the boy's whereabouts and will
to Staples tonight and bring tyim
Kbme.
-This is a peculiar case and has puz
zled the officers who have had it in
charge for a number of weeks. Early
this fall a man giving his name as John
•Itrolin appeared at the Colby farm near
Grandin and applied for work. He was
given employment, and young Colby at
Once took an unnatural interest in the
.fellow, and from the very first day was
isonstantly in his company. Krohn was
apparently a man of good morals and
'[^he family raised no objections to the
intimacy between their son and the hired
ttian. A few weeks ago the man and boy
^disappeared from the farm one night,
and until yesterday no trace of either
could be found.
Another peculiar circumstance is the
•fact that Krohn is the owner of'a big
farm near Staples and is said to be quite
rwell to do. Just why he struck out as
9 farm laborer has not been explained
.,)Wh1 is one of the mysteries of the case.
33?he
boy was living with him on his
.'fftrm when found. The hypnotic in
{Jeuence seems to have been dispelled,
^s the boy is quite anxious to reflurn
home.

HER CMP rlJLL
Sad Story of a Wrecked Home--Newj
"heumatism Curt--Other
She said her heart was breaking. It
wouldn't have been a matter of much
surprise ?f it had already broken.
I"f a mother's, uaby is in its liitie
grave, and her husband, 011 the tes
timony that she could not help give,
is sentenced to-scrve a term in the city
jail, surely her cup of sorrow is about
as' full as it "could: be and the runover
nf its emotions would be excusable.
She could not be very much blamed if
she'rejected his overtures for" recon
ciliation there in the courtroom before
judge, officers and the morbidly curious
who gather daily to hear the unfortu
nate talcs of woe.
Ed Stafford, whose home is in Shan
tytown. near lower Front Street, w is
arraigned before Judge Gearey this
morning for intoxication. His} wife
was present to-prosecute the case. She
told how their lives had come to rum
through his weakness.
His weakness—that was' st/ong
drink.
It had wrecked many ia life before,
but that was no consolation to this wo
man.
She sat In the courtroom this morn
ing and told the story of her court
ship of the then noble and promising
young man that had won her heart and
hand the happy wedding, with the well
wishes of many friends that had as
sembled the start in marital life in
the vine-covered cottage the birth of
the first Dtid, which should have bound
their lives more closely, and brought
new sunshine and pleasure to the hap
py home.
But a serpent appeared at the thresh
old.
The sunshine gave way to shadows,
and the shadows turned to dairk. threat
ening clouds, which broke into a
storm of fury. The home was wrecked
and lost on the cruel shoals of dissipa
tion. There had been 110 clearing of
the skies, and the rainbow of hope,
with its irridescent colorings, had fail
ed to shine for her. A rickety shack
was now her place of abode and e
wash tub, from early morning until
late at night, was the avenue over
which came her scanty meals, while
the husband had turned to a sot and
spent his time and a part of her earn
ings in the saloon.
From her chair in the courtroom the
woman gazed at the man in the dock.
She was crying bitterly site made 110
effort to hide her tears.
"My heart is breaking, Ed,1*' she said,
glancing at him once and then averting
her eyes. "Judge," she said, as s e
turned to the court, "he doesn't know
what he's doing when he's drunk. Be
fore the policeman came he seized e
by the throat and said he would k i
me. I broke away and screamed. 11 e
spends all his money for drink, while
work for our little girl. This week e
even took $2 from me for liquor. 1
had earned that money by hard work,
and my daughter and I needed it. But
that made no difference to him.
"A week after our last baby was
born, we knew it could not live. Yet.
as I lay in bed. he struck me in the
face. You see. nothing made any dif
ference to him when he was' drunk.
Baby died a week later.''
Her eyes traveled back td h6r hus
band's face again.
"Ed, I'm afraid of you," she replied
to the mute appeal she saw there.
She arose to leave the room. Her
husband approached her humbly.
"No, no, Ed." she exclaimed, I have
lost faith in you."
He shrank'back.
Stafford was arrested last night. The
officer had been called to-the'Humble
little home in Shantytown by the: re
port that a woman was being murder
ed. Mrs. Stafford fled from the house
with her little girl. Stafford lay in bed
fully dressed, already overcome by
liquor.
"Twenty-five dollars or twenty /days
in jail," said Judge Gearey. -i
Martin Pojnoy came to grief last
night because the friend Who. persuaded
him to try the barefoot cure for rheu
matism neglected to explain how the
prescription should be followed.
"Walk barefoot in the grass when it
is covered with frost," said the friend.
"That will cure your rheumatism. Take
a good drink of whisky and that will
keep you from catching cold while the
cure is working."
Pojnoy tried the cure, but took the
whisky before instead'of. after his walk.
Officer McDonald encountered Poj-

In
police court this uiorning Jojnoy
Undertook to explain to Judge Gearey
and was sentenced to pay a fine 6f' $5,
which the court thought more effica
cious for rheurhatism than frost walks.
A boy met Pojnoy at the courtroom
door with his shoes and stockings in a
basket. He paid the fine, discard6,fl'tHc
"cure,' arid was discharged.
"We're guilty, your honor."
Thus answered C. S. Cleveland,, who
sjjoke for liimself and James Gatby,'
who had been arrested on a charge of
drunkenness and jointly arraigned. We
came in from Colgate yesterday.

(My
friend here has }ust fallen heir to an
estate worth $10,coo in Minnesota, and
we simply started but to celebrate' his
good luck."
"And do you thhik you have duly
celebrated?" asked the court.
"Yes, sir. We didn't dvertodk.' aii
opportunity to drink yesterday and'the
way I feel this morning I never want
•to see liquor again. Let tis down light,
jvdge, and I assure you wc will never

"Where are you feltow/ going?" aslc

"We had started for' Red Wing,
Minn.." said Cleveland,1-"where Gatby
is to get l*is money, and then we aye
going to Washington, where we Avill
