With mule in TOW. Two yourg men FOL-
lowed him, starting about two aoun after
he left, and bsve NOT since been heard from.

boys we're murdered by Rich. lie says he
saw them in Kansas. but refuses to give
any further information. Tie man to
whose place he went in Kansas vas one for
whom he had formerly worked, but Who,
