Springer Secures Police Aid to Recover His Offspring. AREER Romantic Story of an Adopted Girl Who May Some Day Fall Heir to a Vast Fortune, ORI The Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the police of two States are trying to recover the 2-year-old child of George H. Springer, who keeps a clothing store at 7% Folsom street. The little girl has been away from its parents for the past year and is sald to be in the custody of A. M. Coleman, a milkman, who lived at one time at 139 Earl street. Becretary White of the local Children's Soclety says that every effort has been made by the distracted father to gain pos- | session of hig’ offspring, but he has been | repeatedly foiled by Coleman, who leaves | town as soon as his presence becomes known to the police. : It appears that in March last, Springer, | who was a well-to-do merchant of this | city, lost his business through the con- tinued iline: of his wife. The support of | his three children at that time became a ! | difficult matter for him. He therefore ad- vertised for a good family to take care | of his youngest offspring, and in answer { to his inquiry Coleman offered to take the | little one. The child was turned over to | Coleman with the understanding that if | | Springer was convinced that his little one | had found a sultable hame he would allow ans to adopt it legally. Springer learned from the neigh- bors that Coleman was a drinking man and he decided to take the_child away. He notified the Colemans on May 13 of his intended action and when he called the following day he was greatly surprised to learn that Coleman had sold his urniture and departed to parts unknown. 3 Springer went to the Police Court and swore to a warrant for the arrest of Cole- | man for kidnaping. ' Coleman was traced from this city to Stockton, thence to Sac- | ramento and when the police were about to take him into custody he slipped away | to Clackamas, Or. Some months later | Springer ascertained that Coleman was | | working in Portland, Oregon, but when he | investigated his man had again disap- | peared. | No further tidings were heard of the | | Colemans until a few days ago, when | Springer accidentally learned that his | man was working in Fite, Crook County, | Oregon He immediately informed the locai society and Secretary White sent letters to the Sheriff and Children’s So- clety of Portland, Oregon. | Mr. Springer is a member of the famous | Springer family, which {s now making a | strong fight to recover fifty acres of land |in the center of Wilmington, Delaware, which is now valued at $14,000,000.

While the big train was on a very steep incline which leads from the Cascad unnel 1o Weston, two miles distant, th ke falled to hold. The cars, thus *d, commenced to ain speed like ball rolling down 4 hill. All the efforts of the train crew to hold with hand brakes amounted to nothing. b | Like an avalanche let loose the big mass of steel and wood with its human freight tore down the mountain, and with a terrific rumble and grinding of ironm, wood and steel piled up at the bottom. gineer Boyce stayed with the train il the Jast and those who were for- tunate enough to escape without serious injury found him under the locomotive. He was terribly injured, but the latest reports are to the effect that he may recover. McDonald was buried under the ca- boose, on which he was standing when the cars jumped the rails. Crushed and he was taken out and carried to Weston. His death was undoubtedly stantaneous. { ssengers arriving In Seattle on other trains say that ¢ reason traffic was not blocked more was that the cars jumped curve and thus left the path elear. All describe the pile of wreckage as a sight worth going miles to see.
