Some Further Developments in the
Taylor Disappearance.
The Citizens Greatly Incensed = webe,

OF the Taylor case, published in today's
HERALD, created great deal Of interest
and NOT a little indignation. No denial
of the statements that Henry is in Denver,
where he anticipates being joined by a
young woman who formerly taught school
Et Plain City, has been made, and even
his relatives have at last come to the
belief that they have been deceived IN
Taylor.
A close relative of the family today
stated to THE HERALD man that the MEM
bers of the family net the young woman
in the case, and obtained possession of
the letter, said to have been received by
the girl, and destroyed it. A compromise
was then made and the matter will be al
lowed to drop. The insane racket will
probably be worked in future dealings
with the case. Plain City citizens are
very much incensed and say that even if
Henry ever returned to Plain city he
would not be allowed to live there. The
thoughts of the valuable time wasted and
the anxiety of his friends and family will
allow of no charity to the man.
1t is known that the woman who is
said to have received the letter from
Taylor, left for the east last night, pre-
sumably for the purpose of settling up
her father Q state. She is lately married. |
