spls e)U L Il Il IAI6,
the Zenith City, it was ominously whisp
cred among his brethren that the Catho-
lies were responsible for his disappear
ance. He subsequently told his wife by
letter that he had been seized by an epi-
leptic st and spirited away for the good
Of his health. His whereabouts were
concealed, but he requested his sorrowing
wife to mourn no more. The Minneapo-
lis Tribune OF recent date lifted the
veil ct mystery y hich had SO long en-
shrouded Capt. Shaw. This is how it
did it: "Capt. Shaw is stated to be short
$84O in his accounts with his insurance
company. There is also said to be an
unpaid balance against him in the ac-
counts of the Uniform Rank Of Knights
of Pythias of which he was an officer.
Besides this, on the day Of bis disappear
ance he negotiated loan for 800 with
Fred Wheaton, editor Of the Pythian
Advocate. Capt. Shaw, though last seen
in st. Paul, did not wait long enough to
give the thugs, who at the time were ter
ror,zisg the city, an opportunity to get
in their festive work on him. He Sc
cured the necessary transportation and
hied him to the moro congenial cline OF
the Lone Star State. He is there now,
where pressing creditors will not bother
him. The captain is said to have friend
in Texas whom he can draw upon to
meet all his wants. His friends here are
taking their monetary losses with the
best possible grace. They will not take
any action to bring him back for the rea-
son that they could not gain anything
thereby" Since the above was written
Shaw returned to Duluth, and his son
denies that there is any truth in what
the Tribune says of his father.
