to Death-News of the
Territory

OGDEN, June 10. = Especial. = The
biggest sensation in the Taylor disappear
ance case was sprung yesterday, when
Bishop Taylor of Harrisville, uncle OF
the missing man, announced in meeting
that the party of searchers would be re-
called, as information had been received
that Henry was in Denver and had been
there since a week ago Saturday The
announcement created the greatest ex-
element.
Today Herald man visited the rela-
tives of Taylor, including his aged pa
rents and deserted family. They all re-
fused to believe the truth of the story
but said fit is true Henry had become
mentally deranged and was not RESPONSE
BILE for his actions.
A WOMAN IN THE CASE.
The sensational part of the story is the
assertion that there is woman in the
case and Taylor left home with the idea
that the young woman, who formerly
taught school in Plain City, and
with whom he is SAID to have
been somewhat intimate, socially at
least, would join him in Denver upon re-
ceipt OF letter which she is alleged to
have received several days ago. This let
ter contained threats of exposure Of some
supposed or real offense. provided the
girl did not c.-1ply with its requests. A
strange name wa signed to the letter,
but those who have seen it state that it
contains many characteristics peculiar TO
Taylor and is written in his handwriting.
-I,,t 4oI-
on the part of the lodge of A. o. U. W.
and relatives of the missing man, but it
Is possible that man viii be sent to Den
yer to ascertain the truth of the story,
which is generally accepted here, at Plain
City and Harrisville as true. Should
Taylor return alive he will probably be
given a warm reception.
Advices received by special courier
from the mountains upon which the
search is still being prosecuted by large
party of searchers, is to the effect that
wagon tracks have been discovered in the
vicinity of Taylor's last claim, and they
are being followed in hopes of making a
find. The men think Taylor was killed
and the body taken away in wagon. 1t
is also said q man has been seen in La
Plata county who resembles Taylor, but
miner just returned from camp says the
snan seen there is from Salt Lake.
Late tonight Webb Moore, young
man engaged in the Union Pacific wards
as a swiucnman, was caught between the
drawheads OF two cars in freight train
and sustained injuries which proved atal
an hour later. The train had been cut in
two and Moore attempted to pass through,
not being aware that the engineer in
tended to close up the space and connect
the cars. Just as the young
man reached the center of the track the
cars came together and his body was
caught between the drawheads, both hips
