Edward H Sager, City Clerk of Wy
Rndotte, was reported the other day to have
! disappeared under suspicious circum-
stances. An article was published regard
! ing alleged crookedness in his official af-
fairs, stating that it was currently Iu-
mored that Sager had, by means of false
warrants and dummy pay rolls, swindled
! the city out of a large amount of money.
Sager denied the charges, but a committee
was appointed to investigate, and this in
vestigation was in progress at the time
! Sager was last seen. He left his office say
ing he was going over to Kansas City to
see his cousin, Prof Crosley, and had not
| been seen or heard from since. His friends
held to the theory of foul play. Vigorous
search in the meanwhile was being made.

had for some time been in Geneva, N. Y.

Exaggerated reports as to smallpox
in Lawrence having been circulated in
neighboring cities, it was stated the other

case in the city. There was also case at
the Pest-house on the island, that went
there from Kansas City, and three cases
outside of the city, in Wakerusa Township.
No new cases had developed within two
weeks. All cases were isolated, and there
was no danger of the disease spreading.
John NOmer, of Platte County, Mo-,
was in Leavenworth recently, and created
no little merriment by saying that the story
of the killing of Jesse James was fine
hoax; that he had seen him no longer than
three weeks before. He declared positively
that he was not mistaken. He said he was
raised with him, and offered to bet 500 that
he was not mistaken, and that time would
show that he was not. He said Jesse en-
joyed the 500 monument over his grave as
fine joke.
Albert Taylor, the man arrested near
Emporia few days ago, has been fully
identified as the man who, with his broth

see to get the man, but he was held there
under s., 900 bond for assault with intent to
kill.
