Lummon Mine.

Tom Bare, an employe of the assaying
depat t,nens of the Drum Lummon nine,
cams to Helena on July Is last. He had
considerable money In the Merchants
bank, aud the panic which seems 10 have
seized everybody about that time appeared
to have affected him. He drew his money
from the bank next day. and linoe THAT
time none OF his friends in this seotio n
have heard ANYTHING Of him. His relatives
in Iowa have NOT heard of him either. and
There is some fear that he may have been
foully dealt with by persons who saw him
draw the money from tho bank, or who
were aware of his intentions. he was not
q drinking man, nor one TO knock aroma
much, his principal diversion being hunt
ing or fishing. Unless he had suddenly
made up his mind to go off on trip OF that
kind, his Helena friends are unable to as-
count for his disappsaranoe.
When last here Bare stopped at the Gran
don hotel. 1t WAS on July 1b THAT he reg
istered there. The next morning he said
TO Manager Rohrbauah: John. I'll just
pay You now. Pm not coming back to- day.
Pll bs back In few days. He left the
hotel and that is the last that Manager
Rohrbauah has seen of him. He thought
nothing strange of that fact however, until
recently when inquiries from Marysvills
caused him to think something was wrong

the hotel and let mo know. He didn't

Manager Rohr bauRh said Bare always had
