On February 11t h in Rome a good
many centuries ago, the good Saint
Yi.lftit.im' w,.s belie ided because he
would not profess the idolatrous
faith of Kiiipcror Claudius.
According lo the K iman legend,
Yuleutiiius was imprisoned and bon
ded over to Culphurniiis, who in
turn employed As'erius to win him
back to ido airy. Yalentinus mirac
ulously resio ed t he sight of Aster
ins' blind daughter, whereupon As
lerius with all his house believed
and was bapl zed. The saint was
then beaten with clubs and finally
executed on I he Flaniiniaii Way.
In commemoration of the death of

A CHILD KIDNAPPED.
The l-atlier Steals it l-roin Its Mother and
I'iSCHp.'N.
Special to Charlotte () iserver J
Sai.isiii iiy, Feb !'.- Council street
was startled about 1 o'clock today
by the sight of a (leeing man, hat
less, bearing a shrieking baby and
followed by a well dressed woman,
who was crying, wringing her hands
and shouting for the police. After
running a few hundred yards the
man jumped into a buggy, carrying
the baby with him, and whipping
his horse to full speed, disappeared
from view in the direction of Mocks
vdle, Davie county. "He has stolen
in y child, " the heart broken woman
repeated over and over again, to the
crowd which by this time had gath
ered .
The dramatis personal' w re Robt
Farris, his wife, Mrs. Mamie Farris,
and their infant son, and the scusa
tional incidents marks the latest de
velopment of a romantic marriage.
About three years ago Robert Farris,
an apparently ipi ict and well-behaved
young, man, was lilli ng acceptably
the position of b ggage master at the
Southern passenger station hi re.
and .Miss Mamie Lynch, an exceed
ingly pretty anil well-connected
young lady from Jersey City, X. J.,
was visiting her aunt. Mrs
John l!uis. I'pon Miss Ivynch's
return to her home, Farris opened
correspondence with her. which re
suited a year later in it secret mar
riage in Jersey City. Farris took
the I rain home immediate !v af!cr I he
ceremony, anil resueed his duties
as baggage master and for a year
nothing was known of the marriage
Then his friends were surprisi d by
the arrival of his wife andthei.u
nouuceinent. of his year old mar
riage. The young people settled
down lo housekeeping in aiiiiet
way for about a year, when Farris
surprised his creditors by suddenly
disappearing from the scene, u
attachment of his personal elTeets
followed. Ills wife followed him,
and since then i hey have lived in
Jersey City, until recently, they re
turned to Salisbury with t heir t wo
children, a hoy and a g' rl, and pro
eeeded lo the home of Farris faili.'r,
in Datic cnuiilv. Some (lavs;, go
Mrs. Farris left her husband, a 'b g
iug and showing i ideuces ol hi u ai
treatment on his part, bringing her
seventeen-monl lis old boy with her.
Siie W'as unable to secure. iussi s
sion of the little girl, i'.i Mm, il iv
a sister of Fan' s, nv fair means or
foul, Mrs. I'airis' friends allege I he
latter, secured possession of tie' lit
tle girl and took her to the home i f
Farris' fat her in D.ivie Ti isaliir
noon Farris appeared at I he home i f
his wife's uncle, Mr. John II. links,
with whom she had taken refuge,
knock, dor pushed hei down, seized
the child and rushed , l! with it a
above stated. As he lied down
Council street, with his frantic wife
pursuing, Farris' tlight w-as urro-,1-ed
for a moment by a man placing a
hand on his arm. Hut the kidnapper
turned upon him wilh a mad light
in his eyes and said, "Let me go:
this is my child. " And he looked
so dangerous that his captor was
glad to release him,
Mrs Farris at once swore out a
warrant for her husband's arrest.
Deputy Monroe set out in pursuit rf
the fugitive. When the ollicers
reached Lindsay's mill they were
told that Farris had crossed the
Yadkin lifteen minu.es before and
was, of course, safe upon the soil of
Davie comity. I'pon the return of
the ollicers with'the news that the
fugitive was uncaught, Mrs. Farris
decided to follow her husband, and
immediately set out for Davie.
Mrs. Farris returned from Davie
this evening. The object of her go
ing was to get her little daughter, as
Mr Farris this morning had told her
that she might have the girl. She
said that when she drove in sight
Mr Farris was seen hitching up his
horse, and soon drove away with the
littie boy, whom he took this morn
ing. The little girl for whom she
had come was taken away from the
Farris home by his sister yesterday.
Mrs Farris' sorrowful refrain is: "If
they had only caught him before he
crossed the river."
