ever. insisted that they had traced lyman
10 Sacramento, where be bought a ticket

could not trace him. His wife searched
for him many months. and finally con-
clnded that he WAS dead, and on the show
ing made Judge Minor. of stanislaus
county. decided that he was dead. John
Slater. local spiritualist, gave the Grang-
ers' bank the first authentic information
about DR.. lyman few days ago. He said
tina. the missing physician was in Reno.
and asked that some one be sent with him
TO Reno. Accordingly Henry Mccormack.
who is connected with the bank. and who
knew DIR. lyman, went to Reno with
Slater. The Identification was complete
Slater said that be knew DIR. lyman. whom
he had met east of the Rocky mountains
As to finding the doctor, Slater ascribes il
all to the spirit form of DIR. Tynans first
wife. He SAYS:
"on May 2s was writing letter in my
suite ofro0ms ut the Clarendon hotel. Ros-
ton. Ii was letter 10 my WIFE, Ii was
about 9:8 O'Clock. Suddenly a woman's
form stood over me--distinciiy as could be-

Slater, il is understood. has the promise
OF S. 600 and expenses. Mrs. lyman would
not * any sum until she saw the doctor.
and this amount was agreed to today. DIR.
lyman will now take steps in the Stanis-
aus county courts to have himself de-
clared as being in the flesh. The San
Francisco police are skeptical about the
spintuaiist story. and hinhthat DIR. lyman
was induced to disappear by some means
unknown TO them. DR.. lyman himself is
an ardent believer in spiritualism.
