Delos d. Kingsbury started out
for the coal regions of the Cowlitz
last week with a party, their desti-
nation being the Cisco pass. From
Tampico they moved their camp up
the ridge five or six miles. Satur-
day morning about 5 o'clock, Mike
Mackison, who was of the party,
left his bed and started out in his
stocking feet, the other men being
asleep. When Kingsbury awoke he
missed Mike and was at once
alarmed, as he had had consider
able trouble with him the previous
day on account of II temporary aber-
ration of mind. Kingsbury found
him short distance from the camp,
but he refused to return and as he
was armed with n formidable
knife Kingsbury hastened to camp
for assistance. The whole camp
then started to bring their demented
comrade i'm but could not find him
anywhere. They searched all day
aud night without success. Word
was brought to this city Sunday
morning, aud Kingsbury and James
Mackison started out at once in the
search. Kingsbury again returned
for help Tuesday, and party of six
Immediately started out. AS the
weather has been cold and wet,
snow and rain falling in heavy
showers, the searching parties are
now looking for IA dead man rather
chan live one. The aged parents
Of Mackinson are greatly distressed,
the suspense being almost as terrible
as the worst news could be. The
party going out from here Tuesday
were James Ward, Harry Garre,son,
Arthur Stone, Frank Mackinson
and two others.

tree to the wire and followed that to its
connection with the dairy, igniting the

DEPOsED FOk DRUNKENNESS

strong DRINK Proves the Ruin of a
Lincoln. Hi, Episcopal Clergyman.
LINCOLN, ILL.,, July 11.-Episcopal
church circles have been disturbed
this week over the eccentricities of
Rev. Oliver Booth, rector in charge
of Trinity church here. Ten days
days ago Mr.. Booth visited Chicago
to effect reconciliation with his
wife, who has been enstranged from
him for some time past. Returning
on July 4 1t was noticed that he was
suffering from some ailment, which
in a few days developed into a
mania forintoxicating liquors. The
clergynnan's visit to IA saloon ON Sun
day and insisting on being favored
with liquors contrary to the rigid
Sunday law in force caused the at
tention of the Pensioners to be di-
rected toward him. About the mid
die of the week summons from
Cook county, in an action tor di-
vorce brought by his wife, was
served by a deputy sheriff. The
previous conduct of the man
and the sensational litigation
called Bishop Seymour to the scene,
and after a consultation the rever-
end gentleman rendered his resig-
nation and was ordered TO St. Luke's
hospital, Chicago, for treatment,
the patient leaving here last night
Mr.. Booth originally came from
st. GATHERINGS, Can. His advent
here was direct from Nebraska, his
credentials being clear and his rec
concentrations of high order. When
he arrived he was suffering from q
broken arm, which he claimed was
done by sandbagger i'm Chicago in
March or April last. His eloquence
as n pulpit orator aud zeal
as a church-worker created
favorable impression, followed by
his engagement to take charge of
the parish, which is one of the most
fashionable i'm the city. Along in
June he astonished the stern Epis-
copalians by his dress, which proved
to be extravagantly negligee in
character. His meteoric engage
ment, sudden resignation, Voluu-
tary retirement to a retreat and the
causes leading thereto, were made
public to-day to the establishment of
religious circles.
