Is missing, and th police are engaged In an endeavor to ascertain whether he Is at the bottom of the) Wlllamett River, ., kidnaped or drugged and robbed in Some dive in 'the North Skid. ' - ' r , Young Holland left his mother's home. No. 186 East Twenty-seventh street, yesterday afternoon at o'clock. He told his mother, Mrs. M. A. Brae, that h . . was going to spend the afternoon In a boat ride on the river. Was going to meet some friends down town at 2:30 o'clock, after which they were to leav for the pleasure trip. It is possible that he met his friends later, but it is cer tain that he was not with them at 8 o'clock, for Head Janitor, Leach of th Dekum Building, saw. him pass down Third street alone. May Save Been Drugged. ' Holland has recently been employed In the Dekum, Building as. assistant . Janitor, and was a steady and faithful worker. Last Friday he drew his sal ary for the month, amounting to $46. He bought his mother, of whom he Is very fond, a pretty gold watch, which he presented to her Friday night. . Hpw much he paid for It she does not know. She- firmly believes, however, that he : must have had at least $16 left, and she Inclines to the belief that, her son Is either the victim of thugs in the North End or that he has been kidnaped and shipped on an outgoing vessel, r' "My son, I admit. Is easily Influenced," said Mrs. Brace to The Journal this morning, "and it may be, that he fell in with some evil companions and consented to go into some dive In the North End, where he may " have "been . drugged and robbed. I do not believe that he is drowned, and shall never glv ; ' him up as dead until I see his lifeless remains. " ' ' "Once before I found my son In Blaster's Saloon on the East Side. ' He was with some very bad-looking men, and I have always thought that I found him Just In time to save him from grave trouble. He is a good boy at heart, and loves his home, but. as I said before, he is easy to lead, and may have been influenced to do something he ought not to have done. ; ' Thinks Son Shanghaied. " M . " - "But the theory that I most firmly believe is that my boy has. been kid naped by crimps -and shipped as a member of the crew of some outgoing vessel. It is a terrible thought, and nearly breaks my heart. I know that' he spent much time strolling up and down the docks. He has always, been fascinated by ships, and has often told me that some day he was going to b a seaman. He particularly desired to get a position as pilot, and has talked great deal with me about it. I have warned him many times to beware of placing himself - . in danger's way by going near the docks at night, or 'when the crimps ar . looking for men to man the ships. He- was pretty shrewdtoo. In thst respect, and told me 1 need" have no fear; that he would take care of himself. But t fear that he was kidnaped,' Just the saro and that he is now sailing away from in and all his dear ones." . ; , 1 '. , The distracted mother was unable to converse further, and burled her head in her hands, giving vent to her emotions in a flood of tears. The police are investigating every theory, and there may be somtrvlsvciop' ments In the mysterious case soon. . The British ship Cockermouth, wlNch ha been lying in the harbor for several weeks, left down last night, bound for Csl Jao, Peru, and the police are rather Inclined to the belief that the missli.iKboy may have been shanghaied aboard her. . , ; In the meantime, the case remains one of the most .mysterious ever knowVv. in the history of the city, and a broken-hearted mother is weeping at home for tidings Of her missing son. - . , -s - ; EDWARD GOES E031E.
