The mystery in regard to the where
abOuts of William j. Brown (son of
Colonel Brown of the Soldiers Home
near Dayton), who was lost in the
Plains of Colorado several weeks since,
while hunting buffalo, has been partial
ly cleared up. 1t seems that about
three weeks ago two friendly Indians
brought into the camp of surveying
party, near Fort Laramie, a young
man in state of utter destitution and.
insane. The stranger SEEM
ed to be monomaniac on the subject
of hunting, and although he told them
his name was William ]. Brown, and
that he was the son of Colonel Brown
of the Soldiers Home, near Dayton,
Ohio, yet he could give no account as
Ia how he came there. Colonel Brown
being informed of this has gone to Dem
yer to test the truth of the report. A
suspicion is entertained that party of
banditti of the plains have young
Brown in their possession, and want,
also, to secure his father, and then de-
mand a handsome ransom for BOTH
However, in a few days the truth viii
probably be known. $4,000
