A CASE Or KIDNAPPING.
oik Parties Claim -Child-Peculiar
HUUmat,Ol mrm. riunnaun
r A moat Interesting case was held be
' ' nr juatir nisen at nla office In Simp
i thm mm beln one of kidnapping.
The proaecutor ! Mrs. Robert FlUslm
mono, and the defendant T. C. Walker.
Tin nraaacutor claims that Walker had
, kidnapped and forcibly kept from her
, ner ton. Harry wajner.
When aaked If the child was his son
Mr. Walker replied that It wa. This
.was denied by the prosecutor. She
would not sax. Who was the father, but
said that she was living; witn waixer in
. England, at the. time of his birth.
Attorney Butler, who was attorney
for the defendant, made a little speech.
He said: "The fact that the child Is
with its father doee not prove that
,lt was kidnapped. Tne cnua nas now
1 reached an aee when it knows Its own
feelings, and which parent he wishes
to live with. I understand that this
woman Is married strain to a man
named Fltssimmons. Stepfathers and
stepmothers are not tne proper ones to
care for children. When a child Is
forcibly kept away against Its will that
la. kidnapping. The child's mother
would be the proper one to tell who Its
father Is." When questioned as to
which he would like to live with the
Boy said his father, as nis moiner
wnippea mm.
The first witness was John Eurns.
Who said that he had known the child's
mother for three months, and that she
was a neighbor of his. He had always
'thought the child was treated kindly
and never saw him whipped.
Mr Walker, who claims to be the
father, said that he came nome rrom
work oh Tuesday. Nov. 12. at 5 o'clock.
The boy was at his boarding house, at
rthe home of John Kimble, of Seventh
a Mnhn. IT a rA thm nhtlri in irn hnnip'
lbut he didn't want to, so he started to
take htm back. He was met by Chief
, McAndrew, .who asking what the mat
. ter was. on finding he was his father,
told him to take care of him. Here he
told his landlady not to let anyone
have the child, should they come for
him. .
On the following day Mrs. Fltzslm-
moni came to the house and asked for
the child, but they refused to give it
up, saying that Mr. Walker had or-
. dered them to keep the little boy.
This was the story as told by the
different persons, and after hearing it.
Mr. Olenn advised the parties to settle
U between themselves. Mrs. Flts
Immons said all she wanted was her
child.
There were objections to this,- and at
last the Justice said he would have to
place Walker under 1200 ball. Mr.
Walker said Mrs. Fltssimmons could
have the child, but he refused to go
witn ner, ana maae a great russ. inai
' ly he was quieted and consented to go.
Walker was then asked if he would
.pay. the costs, but he refused. How
ever, he at last consented and paid
, them all.
NTO THE RIVER.
'Christian Ilo.ld Watki Off the Eighth
Avenne ftrldse-
About twelve o'clock Tuesday night,
Christian Honold. of 109 Salem aVenue,
fell from the Eighth avenue bridge into
, the river and sustined injuries whicn
are quite serious. How he came to
walk off- the bridge is something which
. will probably never be known, for Mr.
i Honold knows nothing about the accl
. dent:
When last teen before the accident,
Mr. Honold was oh his way home and
some ceoDla saw him near the Presby
terian church. From there he seemed to
wander off and was seen a little later
near No. 1 bridge. Later he was picked
up In the river. It seems queer that no
on saw the man after this and it is a
mystery how ht got from Church street
' to the bridge without being seen. The
. only way to give any account of the
accident which would seem at all possi
ble, is that he wandered down River
street and In approaching the bridge to
cross it fell over.
' Though badly hurt, the unfortunate
man managed to call for help. His cries
were heard by a young man named Mc
Andrew, who with a friend went to in
vestigate.. They were somewhat sur
. ' prised to find a man' In such a sorry
' predicament,' but at once assisted him
out of the place.- He did not seem to
t realise tliat he was hurt, but seemed to
have more consideration for valuables
which had - fallen from his pockets,
1 though he occasionally cried out as if
' In great pain.
The young ', men ' went to a livery
.stable, where they secured a wagon and
n started to take him to his home. On
the way, they were met by Dr. Glllis,
Who persuaded him to go to the hospl-
(tal. .Here , a more thorough examina-
tlon of the Injuries was made. It was
found' that he had sustained a com-
1 pound fracture of the left ankle. The
,bone protruded threugh the flesh and
some of the small bones of the ankle
.were also broken. Although Mr. Hon
' old is between 70 and 80 years of age,
' he bears the shock very well and his
condition at present is very hopeful.

ed horses with Charles Hanson, who

like these proceedings and swore out a

came off victor, however, by displaying

last night, The rink has been turned
Into a bower of beauty, and on every
side the decorations are on 'a splendid
scale. Besides tho decorations, the
goods displayed are artistically ar
ranged, and go a great way in making
up a very fine appearance. There are
four booths In all, a grocery, car.dy.
art and fancy goods, and all are well
filled. The Union band discoursed some
very good music. There were a large
number of visitors In attendance, and

THE BOOK OF THE DEAD.
Mux Mullcr Contends That It Is Not a
Book in True Scnso t the Word.
From the Indianapolis News.
Prof. Max Muller writes a letter to the
London Times on "The Book of the
Dead," the ancient Egyptian text, re
cently published. The Times had seemed
disposed to grant the claim made for
"The Book of the Dead" of the date
6,000 B. C, but Prof. Muller asks wheth
er that would make these fragments
collected from ancient Egyptian pyra
mids, coffins and from long rolls of
papyrus dating from the later Theban
and Ptolemaic periods, the oldest book 1
In the world. This eminent scholar
seriously questions whether a hlero- 1
glyphlc text, however long, inscribed on J
the walls of ancient temples, or Baby- j
Ionian cylinder, well covered with cu- 1
nclfnrm writing or even the mountain
records of Darius can oe called a book, j
In ordinary parlance a book is supposed i
to be a literary composition which has a j
beginning, a middle and an end, and !
which is written so as to be accessible
to a larger or smaller public of readers. I
What has been called by its discoverers j
"The Book of the Dead" Is not, accord
ing to Prof. Muller, entitled to be called j
a hook. He concedes, however, that I
the fragments already In the hands of :
scholars, presupposes the existence of a !
more ancient and complete book; bu
by the accepted definitions of a book; 1
the Egyptian 'text, as it now stands, is !
hardly entltilcd to be so designated. I
As an authority on all that pertains to '
Sanskrit it Is natural for Prof. Muller I
to consider the age of the "Veda" as
nealnst the claims for the great an
tiquity of "The Book of the Dead." He
insists that the oldest real book which I
he possesses is still the"Vedo,"morepar- j
tlcularly the collection of hymns known
under the name of the "Rig-Veda-San- j
hlta." which is complete in Itself, con- I
tulning metrical hymns, composed and j
collected long before the Ptolemaic dy- t
nasty. It contained before Alexander's '
Invasion of India, 1,017 hymns, collect
ed In ten books, having 163.826 words,
432,000 syllables, and this Is Its descrip
tion as known to-day.
It has long oeen the wish of students
to find some record of mankind back
In the days of what has been called
"prltreval Innocence," , but this distin
guished authority remarks of "The
Book of the Ddhd" that the civilization
which It describes is already mature,
having passed through vast and unre
corded stages of development. The
same has been true of the "Veda. "There
Is still something behind It; It marks
not a beginning, but. In a sense, a cul
mination. Other Investigators have
gone further than Prof. Muller and have
sought to fix the dates of the Vedic
hymns at 6000 B. C. ; for himself he has
not claimed an earlier period than 1500
B. C. But this latter date no longer
marks the dawn of hurran history, as
compared with that of Babylon and of
Egypt of 6000 B.C. In concluding his
Interesting communication Prof. Muller
reaffirms that, although the "Veda" is
disappointing In respect to any revela
tions of the earlier conditions of man
kind, it remains the most ancient book
In the world, reflecting language, myth
ology, religion and philosophy as they
were among the ancestors of the Aryas
long before Homer or Zoroaster, and
long before the Theban and Ptolemaic
periods.
