close proximity to thriving cities and
good railroad and market towns will sell

SAW HAMMOND.
But That Was the Last Seen of
Young Frible.

Young Frible.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-In March last the
Tribune, of this city, sent one of its re-
porters, M. Frible, to Seattle, WASH,
for the purpose of making the acquaint-
ance of the man Hammond, who fed
from London at the time of the Cleve-
land street scandal. and get his story.
He succeeded in his mission and had
great story to tell, as he advised the
Tribune. He started for home and got
as far as Tacoma, when he suddenly
dropped out of sight, and nothing has
been heard of him since. Investigation
showed that he came to Tacoma with
Hammond; that they were around the
city together; that Hammond went
back to Seattle; that Frible became
short of money and pawned his over
coat and finally sold his railroad ticket.
That is his last known act. This, in
brief, is the story as told in the Inter
Ocean this morning. and the cause OF
Firble's disappearance, it is limited at,
may have been the loss by gambling of
money furnished him by the Tribune
for his expenses on the trip; but whether
he committed suicide, or was driven to
hide himself through shame, remains
