Lan caster, a farmer from tha Broad river aetlon of McDowell county, waa here yesterday aearchlnr for hta son, W. H. Lancaster, a young man Zl yeara of age, who, It la alleged, on weaneaaay, December S, stele from hla father the right princely aum of ll,00 in gold and greenback and skipped. The first Information of the robbery wa received here yesterday afternoon when a request was made that a sharp lookout be had for a yothig man, carrying a Winchester rifle, or pleasing addreaa and more than alz feet tall, who had stolen 11,800 from some person at Morganton, and who. It was believed, was headed this way. Friday evening the father of the young man and the victim of the rob bery arrived and told his story. It developed that the money had not been stolen at Morganton, but from a bureau drawer In Mr. Lancaster" home on Broad river !n McDowell county; that the alleged thief waa the aon of a highly respectefl cltlsen of McDowell county, and that the rob bery wa committed ln the day time of December (. The story told the officer by the father waa one of sorrow and woe. It was distressing. The son, W. H. Lancaster, wa 31 years of age. Dur ing the paat three years he had been In the service of the United States government as a private in the ranks of the standing army. Recently he wa given an honorable discharge af ter the three years of good service, and, spending a :tlme in New York City, came to North Carolina but a very short time ago to visit his fath er on Broad river. The young man Is a likely fellow. He stands six feet and one Inch In height. Is of slender build and Is said to be quite hand some. His home-coming was hailed with delight. During the past several years the father, now nearing the three-score-year mlle-poat oa life's highway. hd saved considerable of this world's goods to make comfortable his old age. The money amounting to $1. 600 wa not placed In any bank. It wa kept In the house, tn the middle bureau drawer and under lock and key. It hiding place was made known to the returned soldier. He was one of the family. He was In and out of the house and perfectly at home. Then the money disappeared and the son. The robbery occurred be tween 11 o'clock In the morning and 4 o'clock In the afternoon. The father does not want his son captured. He simply wants the money. A full de scription of the boy Is given and while the officers here are almost cer tain that the accused did not stop ln Aahevllle they nr.- aiding In every way possible the McDowell county cltlxen to recover his stolen property. Included In the 11,600 stolen was 157.50 In gold. One of th gold coins was a 50-cent piece. OUTWITS THE 87RGEON.
