e. lance Schade went home,
.c his trunk, took it TO the
so-..s.rn Pacific depot and checked it to
St. Paul. He left himself on the overland
train yesterday morning. using the mile
age book he had received in payment tor
advertising.
His DISAPPEARANCE first became known
to f. B. Wrestling, his attorney, who, on
learning Of his arrest sent word TO him by
Dr. Fisch on Wednesday evening that he
case at 9:3o o'clock yesterday morning.
The doctor brought back the news in the
morning that Schade had taken his trunk
and gone. AS Mr.. Wrestling had claim
of SIS against his client for legal services,
SIS OF which was covered by note, he
promptly attached the furniture and plant
in the Tribune Office in the Seattle block.
Claims against the vanished clerical ed
itor seem to be numerous. One of the
suits in which Mr.. Wrestling defended
him was that of w. Valentine for S152 for
labor performed as foreman of the Stats
Zeittsng. Other printers have similar
claims for wages. DIR. Fisch says that
$50 is due him as salary He said to
PosT-lETELIIaEScEa reporter:
had good position in New York, but Schade
induced me by his promises to leave It and come
out here, but he never paid me- He collected
money, but don't know that he paid anything;
he did not pay his printers or anybody. He col
lected about $500 in December, but have not
learned of his paying any body with it.
Mr.. Miller says he can tell pretty nearly
where the fugitive has gone, and will be
able to put his finger on him when he is
wanted. He has no fear that the doctor
will escape arrest.
The particulars of DR.. Schade's troubles
in Baltimore. to which reference was made
in Mr.. Miller's letter to the insurance
agents, have been known for some time
among the German community here
DIR. Gustav Graedel, pastor of the German
Reformed church at Ballard, told the fol-
lowing story of his connection with the
church to a PosT-INrELLIGENcER reporter,
who called on him at his home at Ballard
last night:
DR.. schade, who was in Baltimore las. spring,
wrote to certain person in Seattle relative to
coming to the city. was at that time pastor of
the German Reformed church, on Seventh and
Pine Streets and the matter was made known
to me The idea Of having minister
of renown coming TO aid in the work
in Seattle seemed to be good aud
several letters passed. DR.. Schade, while in
Baltimore, was connected to some extent with a
German paper, and wrote concerning the field
open in Seattle on that line. The matter was
brought to point June To- 1891. when the
doctor appeared in person at the parsonage and
introduced himself to Mrs Graedel His APP
pearance was not what was expected, but never
theless he was made a member of the house
hold. He was cautioned about going into any
partnership in the newspaper business with
out time for investigation and elaboration,
but on the night following bis arrival surprised
ali by announcing that he had become owner of

Mathies 81 200 for the paper, but when he wrote

money, she would not send It Mat

but in the meantime DR.. Schade had become ac-
quainted with prominent members OF the church

conduct OF the new clergyman gave rise to
doubts concerning his reputation, but nothing
was said, as no absolute proofs were available

church, and decided that the only way 70 end
IL, and az the same time avoid split in the
congregation, was TO resign, which ! did on
August %, 1891. DR.. Schade was elected TO the
Passionate, and I found myself out on the
street without shelter or means of sup
port For several days / did not know
where the next days meals were coming from
Fortunately found a friend, who advised me
to come to Ballard and assisted me materially
in settling aud starting a new church Dr.
Sehade was not making money in his newspaper
venture, although he expected TO do a large
business. His congregation was small and OF
course could not pay him large salary, al
though he was an able speaker. His affairs
were becoming mixed, and as last
move he purchased the Tribune and
consolidated the Stddis zeitun1 with it.
His next move was two-eolumn article attack
ing the Ministerial Association on the move
ment TO close the saloons at IL O clook This
lost him the patronage of one class of Germans
but be followed Il eight days later by a second
article against the saloon keepers This move
lost MIN the patronage of that class, and the
problem became complex, only TO be ended by
the fire, which destroyed the Tribune building
and part of the plant.
The following is literal translation ola
letter from NJ. Bachmann. president nj

formed church, dated Baltimore, Septem-

The study Of Schade made go much pain with
