A strange storx.


Much to the surprise and qualification Of
his friends, Charles 7. Clement returned
to his home in Fargo last week, after an
absence of nearly two months. It will be
remembered that ON December 10th ne
dined with u friend in Chicago, and before
leaving him told him that he intended to
take the evening train for his home. He
did not return home, and as far as tho
public has known nothing has been heard
from him from that time until he reached
home. 1t is now learned that on the day
he dined with his Chicago friend he went
to the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
depot with the intention Of coming home;
but while waiting for the train to start he
saw u Chicago and Alton train that was
about leaving for st. Louis, and yielding
to ~ strange and what afterward appeared
to he an insane impulse he boarded that
train, and IL few days later found himself
in New Orleans. having wandered there
from st. Louis. He seems not to have
realized the state of dreadful suspense in
which his family must have been, for he
had been there for some time before writ
ing to them. He has been in or about
New Orleans ever since, and a part. of the
time he has been quiteill. His appearance
indicates that lie has been thoroughly
Frustrated, and that his physical system
has been badly shattered. There seems
now no reason whatever to doubt that the
mental strain caused by continual brood
ing over financial trouble was. for a time,
too much for him, and that his strange
conduct is to be attributed to this fact.
He is now improving, however, and his
friends hope that he will 500 be himself
again. Those who are i'll a position to
know say that he has more than enough
property to settle all claims against him,
and that every debt he may owe will be
mad.
