OGDEN. June 2S.- Especial. REV.
Young OF Plain City, the Episcopal min
lister who went to Denver in search of j.
Henry Taylor, the missing man of Plain
City, returned this evening after having
located his man and finding that he is
alive and we'll, and that he did, after all,
desert his family and home. Young left
for Denver on Saturday last and reached
that city Sunday morning. He was
armed with the address taken by Sheriff
Belnap from the letter received by
a young woman OF Plain City, pre-
sunlably from Taylor. at this address
he found that Taylor had stopped two
days, but was then working at saw mill
in the mountains, forty-two miles from
Denver, under an assumed name.
At the same address the preacher met
man with whom Taylor was acquainted
and to whom he had told his story. Just
after leaving the last claim, Taylor fired
his revolver three times and then rode
nine miles toward home, where he
turned his mare loose and walked to Og
den, where he purchased ticket Tor
Denver. The notice posted on the stake
AT the mine was intended as a farewell
and an indication that he was well and
leaving the country, never to return.
While he did not talk with Henry per-
sonally, Young says there is nothing in
The woman story and that Taylor is alone
and has been alone since leaving Ogden.
Whether or not Taylor ever wrote any of
the several letters attributed to him, the
preacher is unable to say. and as the par
ties who received those letters refuse to
give them up, the matter will remain in
doubt, for some time at least.
Financial troubles augmented by
family difficulties of a purely personal
and private nature, are attributed as the
reasons for Taylor's desertion of his
family. In the opinion of the minister,
ne is perfectly sane and well knew what
he was doing. The family of the missing
man are at a loss, so they say, to account
for his actions and all refuse to talk for
question is yet to be settled.
CITY COUNCIL SESSION.
The city council met tonight, but con-
trary to expectations, no action was taken
on the financial matter, but an ad-
journment taken until Friday night,
when the tax levy ordinance will be so
amended as TO be ready for passage. A
proposition has now been made to reduce
the assessed valuation on city property
from S1S, 6OO,0Oe to S, 600, 900, and in
crease the levy TO nine mills in order to
keep more of the taxes in the city, as un-
der the present arrangements the county
and terIitory-get more than the city.
AN ANNEXATION MISSION.
President Patton of the chamber of
commerce today appointed the following
gentlemen to attend the celebration OF
Uncle Sans birthday at Reno, New, for
the purpose of inquirlng into the state OF
the feelings of the people Of Nevada re-
garding annexation: A. r. Haywood, S.
w. Knapp, o. Il. Leonard and j. II.
Macmillan. The committee will be &C.
companied by Judge Patton and Theo-
0ore Schansenbach and will leave for the
west on Mondays Southern Pacific train.
just when it will return is unknown.
Judge Patton stated tonight that the
committeeman might decide to make
their homes in the silver state.
This appointment is made at the request
of a number of influential citizens of
Utah and Nevada, with whom the feeling
of favor toward the annexation move
ment is very strong, and as the state cele-
bration will be held at Reno and the at
tendance OF people will therefore be very
large, the committee will have better
opportunity of studying the opinion and
feelings of the people than at any other
time or place.
