A gentleman from the bovine locality Of
Cow Greek, above MatamoraS, D., called
at the office Of the Chief OF Police yester.
day and inquired about Samuel Smith,
who had lett the shelter Of q gosd home
ct the above point last Saturday week,
since which time he had not been heard
OF. Inquiry developed the fact that Smith
arrived In this city Saturday week ago
with three horses, which he sold. He
stopped during bis sojourn 10 the city at
the Rine House. Mr.. Rine stated
that Smith paid his bill and
left bis house TO take passage
on the Welcome for his home, having Of
that time about two hundred dollars In
bis pocket. The men on the boat say they
saw nothing Of him. They knew him
well and II he had been on board that day
they would certainly have known 1t. The
gentleman who was searching Tor him
said that the miseing man had no reason
to make away with himself as he was In
comfortable circumstances and owed no
man. The suspicion that he met with
foul play Is unsupported by the facts, Rs
he left the Rlne Houae at noon, and The
boat be was 10 have taken passage on
left at 2 o'clock. The disappearance is q
mystery which only time or Mr., Smith
himself, II alive, can solve.
