About Creeden, a worthy Irish lady remov- ed from Kansas City to Rich Hill, and has since resided on the corner ot Twelth and Chestnut. She says her husband, Cornelhus Creeden, is a dissolute, drinking man, and has not visited her tor several years. She has not seen him for two years. When she came here she lett several grown children at Kansas City, and only brought one child, a little boy, aged twelve, to Rich Hill. She has been washing for a hying. Last Tuesday she was out washing, and as usual left her boy at home. He rode up town with another bov in a delivery wagon; as the boys passed a wagon on Park Avenue, the two men who were in it called to the Creeden boy, and coaxed him to get into their wagon. That was the last ever seen of the boy py anybody who knew him. The men, as faras can be learned, droye to Cross’ second hand store, where they bought a ta- ble, and then drovo on, after another man and a woman got into the wa- gon, toward old Rich Hill. When Mrs. returned home she missed her boy, and be- gan a dilligent search but could not find any trace of him. She was distressed.
