THE D1SAPPEARANCE OF FRANK
al

Ing concerning the HAL WHO 50 nyS
teriously disappeared a short time age
from u coal camp in the vicinity o.
New Pass:
Mr.. Hawley informs MS that a thor.
ough search of the coal-pit has failed
to reveal any trace of the man Frank
Moore, who disappeared my~steriously
a short time since. An inspection OF
the ground in the vicinity of the pit
shows the tracks of two men leading
away from 1t, track being that OF
a man with nailed-sole boots and the
other of plain soles. There was an
evident attempt on the part of the
men TO step in each others tracks, as
in many instances the two tracks are
in one, and it was plain to be seen that
one mar was stepping in the others
tracks. The footprints lead from the
pit to a cluInp of brush, which the
men had stepped over for quite a dis
lance, and in this brush the track is
lost. Moore was known to be pos
sessed of ready money, but never car
rled any on his person, and it was sup
posed he concealed his coin by bury
ing it. No trace has been discovered
of any property or money belonging
to him, except a few effects found at
the camp at the time his disappear
ance was first known. 1t is a very
mysterious affair, and the finding of
these tracks would lead to the suppo-
sition that Moore had been murdered,
and his body thrown into the coal-pit,
where it would be consumed to the
last vestige.
THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon it set in to snow,
and the ''featbery messengers con-
tinued to descend until about 6:30,
when the ground was covered to the
depth of a couple Of inches with a coat
of 'the beautiful" and even as we
write, at III r. NJ, the sky is overcast
and a north west breeze blowing, and
we would not be surprised to he awak-
end from our matutinal nap by the
juggling of sleigh-bells. Almost any
where else such a storm az now threat
ems us would be entitled to a weather
item. But with us in Eureka it is diff
ferent, and we won't notice 1t. For
the last six years this town has had
two or three-let us call them Indian
winters-in May and June.
