G. g. Boise, whose home is in Wellington,
o. His daughter desired to come to
CLEVELAND and wanted to earn her own
living, and through the efforts of friend,
Mrs. NJ. N. Ames, secured the position last
March with the Rewell company. Mrs.
Ames rooms at the home of Mrs. Moses
Brown, 17S Dodge street, and when Nellie
Boise came she also went there to room,
Nubemyer was introduced to Miss Boise
by Mrs. Brown, with whom he was we'll
acquainted. He had called upon the
young lady three times, and while they
were we'll pleased with each other, no
thoughts of lasting attachment had ap-
parently been formed. From all accounts
Nubemyer is an exemplary young man
and much thought of by his friends. No
word of reproach has ever been uttered
against Miss Boise and she seemed always
to have been very dutiiul and obedieht
daughter. Her friends and employers all
spoke highly of her.
The missing pair had said something
about taking row.boat ride from Red
mond's boat house at the foot of Erie st.
Investigation there resulted in the disclos-
ure OF the fact that young man and a
young lady answering to the description
of the missing ones had rented boat at
OILS o'clock and had not returned. Nei-
ther did they return on Friday. Inquiries
were made at the lie saving station and
along the river, Friday, where 1t was said
that man and woman were seen row.
ing up the river at about 10 O'clock Thurs
day night. This would have been just
about the time Nubemyer and his COM
panion could have reached the river with
easy rowing II they had gone that way.
Nubemyer is Of light complexion, me-
dium height and smooth face. He was at.
tired in gray suit OF clothes with sack
coat. Miss Boise Is pretty brunette
about five feet four inches in height aud
weighs 118 pounds. She wore polka dot
dress, hat trimmed with light colors, and
black gloves. Nubemyer is an athletic
young fellow, an excellent oarsmau and
good swimmer, so that the theory that the
young people were drowned was not fully
accepted by some Of their friends when
the news came of their absence.
Nubemyer's brother was OF the opinion
that viii and Miss Boise had eloped.
However, this was not believed at the
Steinbrenner homestead where viii lived
aud his family were much worried at his
continued absence. They thought that
the boy must be drowned together with
his companion.

anxiety. He said that his daughter had
written him letter, Thursday afternoon,
stating among other things that she was
going boat riding that evening, showing
that the lake trip had been more surely
planned than had been supposed at first.
Boise was not Of the opinion that the
young people had eloped as he said there
would haye been no reason for such a
method as he trusted his daughters judg-
ment, which she knew. Boise thought
that the boat might have driited so far be.
yond the shore, Thursday night, that the
young man lost his reckoning, and not be-
ing able 10 get back, was perhaps picked
up with Nellie by some passing steamer
and would be heard from later. It was
