ANsEL WHITES DIsAPPEARANCE.
Story Told by Friend Who Knetc Him

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, April 26.-Detec-
tives are still searching for information re-
garding Ansel White, who left here in
1865 and has not been heard OF since, and
for whom an estate worth 100000 is
awaiting in New York. To-day a man
was found who threw more light on
Whites disappearance than any one has
thus far.
S. Washum of FELTON, had an adjoining
farm to White thirty years ago, and they
were boon companions. He says that be-
fore White left here he gave 500 into the
safe keeping of a lady and then went to
San Francisco, accompanied by young
man named Jordan, who left him there
and returned to Santa Cruz. White said
he was going to Washington, which was
then Territory. A few years afterward
Washum went to Oregon, but did not hear
of White.
On his return to Santa Cruz the lady
who was keeping Whites money had
Washum write to parties in the place
where White intended locating in Wash
ington, but the reply was that White had
never reached there. Washum is satisfied
that White is dead or he would have writ
ten to him years ago.
