well-to- do farmer Of District township south
eastern Berks county, disappeared under mys-
terious circumstances last November. In the
middle OF the night no arose from his bed. and.
telling his wife that he thought he would look
mt his stock i'll the barn, left the house. That
was the last seen Of him up to this date. He
was 35 years OF age, prosperous. sober, and
steady in his habits. and his family and neigh
bors know OF no trouble that could account for
his inexpicabe absence. Neither was it
known that he had an enemy in the world.
Search was made for him high and low, adver-
tisements were inserted in the newspapers.
hopes of unraveling the mystery.
Lat Saturday, however q discovery was
made which throws q tragic light on the mys-
terry OF his disappearance. Ono Of his farm
hands, while cleaning up the hay lofts III the
barn. turned up a iorkfull oil hay at the bottom
OF the NOW. under which lay canvas bag
containing bundle OF clothing. which he recog-
nized at once as a suit belonging TO Delrain.
The garments were considerably torn,and were
thoroughly stained with blood. which mad be-
como dry and hard they were positively tden-
titled by Mrs. Defrain as those which her hus-
band had put on the night he left the house to
look at the stock in the barn. People living
near the Def aims now say they recollect that
house they heard several shots fired. but paid
little attention 10 them at the time All the
circumstances thus far known point strongly
to IA murder.
