the

(CP)
What

to
be
the

from
the

since

a
week
ago
last
night
of
Charles
Mattson,
ten-year
old
son
of
Dr.
and
Mrs.
W.
W.
Mattson,
came
last
night
when
a
black
sedan,
In
which
two
men
were
driving,
drew
up
to
a
service
station
between
Shelton
ancf
Olympla
and
a
message
was
handed
out
asking
that
Dr.
Mattson
be
advised
that
'everything
was
well."
This
was
.aken
by
the
anxious
parents
to
.nean
that
their
boy
was
still
alive
ind
well.
The
ransom
money
of
$28,000,
although
It

for

has
not

and.
