Since THE News special from Bur
lington Wednesday few neW facts have
developed In reference 70 the elopemenf
Of d. v. Mott. There u . rumor In the
city thak In connection with his finan-
clal difficulty . st. Joseph woman now
appears Is one cause Of his disappear
aDce- The fact Is also well known that
he had invested about $4,000 in land in
the southwestern part of this state. II
seems that he had partially closed the
sale Of the same lands for $4,000 a. In
dictated by unsigned honda found in his
ONCE. The bondsmen, Of whom there
are eighteen. hope TO secure themselves
partially by securing these lands. A few
think, however, that he has already sold
the lands and that the unsigned deeds
are simply left Is blind. Mrs. Mott,
the wife Of the ascending treas
urer Is almost wild with grief,
and there is considerable excite.
ment about the matter. School teachers
began talking about Mott some time be-
fore he Left, Is several OF their number
had been unable TO get orders cashed.
For several weeks he had been delin-
quent IN his returns 70 the state treas-
urer, and last week the deputy treasurer
received q telegram asking the cause.
But Mott had already left the county,
and as prominent citizen and bonds-
man remarked that was about all he did
leave. A thorough examination of the
treasurer's books was made this after
noon, but the result has not yet been
made public. 1t Is possible that the
amount of his defalcation will be IN
creased above the rumors. He is nov
known TO have been behind at the CAPT.
tai at least $4,000. The sheriff of Cot
icy county is searching the country for
