DARK MYSTERY “What Happened To Fred” Will Probably Never Be Known—Refused TO GIVE IT AWAY Young Man Kidnapped Last Night—But Brought Back Again This Morning "What Happened so Fred." could well be tha subject of a mystery play, as thrilling us any of the “Mary" plays I vet written; provided, of course, one could learn /ist what really happened. Tills, however, Is as much a mustery as ever, for Fred linker, the hero of the affair, seems to have effectually closed the moi|flis of the “villains' and not a word could he gotten from them. Now the facts of the case, known thus far. are these: Last evening tho that there was a wreck on the Erie 1 railroad. Here and there a group of men scmld'sl along ’found the railroad, and were joined by many oilier until hundreds were seen running the mad race, alf eager to lie on band for the thrilling scenes of a wreck In front of the elm linker home, tho crowd Ktopjied.
