ison, who lived in Johnson county, not
lar from the corner Of tho counties oi
Bartholomew and Brown, was myste-
riuusly missing from home, and all
kinds OF rumors were ahoat IN regard 10
his whereabouts. One theory was that
he had got all the money he could
get together and had decamped
for parts unknown, aud another
and the most probable, was that
he had been murdered, which, the
sequel shows, was true. A few days
ago the man Gillespie died, aud just be-
fore that event took place, after ho had
given up all hopes oi recovery, he told
his friends lao had a startling story to
tell concerning tho death OF old man
Janison, whose Disappearance had
caused NO much talk ten or twelve years
ago. Hc said that himself aud two 9th
ers shot and killed Jamison on what IL
called Hurricane Ridge, Wild and lone

thickct NEAR the roadside.
No trace OF the missing man was ever
found, except his horse, saddle aud
bride, which were aiterward found In
the possession of one of tho three, who
accounted lur It by saying that he had
bought them oi the old man before lac
went oil. Gillespie stated that they got
81, ,GGj in cash, aud 5000 in notes,
which they destroyed, one taking the
horse saddle aud bridlo in the division.
