Pueblo, Colo, Nov. 25.-Francis
Schlatter has told part of the story OF
his trip to Charles A. Gatza, gentle
man who lives about mile and half
south of Overton or six and one-half
miles north of Pueblo. Mr.. GatZa heard
Thursday morning Of Schlatter's being
in Overton and followed him up and
found the healer. Mr.. GatZa invited
him to dine with him. Schlabter at hrst
refused and afterwards accepted the in
vitation. The horse he was riding was
a magnificent white animal, large and
well proportional.
Mr.. GatZa invited a number Of his
neighbors ITO his house, telling them
that the healer was there, and several
of them called upon him and were
treated. Mr.. GatZa himself being one
of the number who received treatment.
He has been a sufferer for fifteen years
with a lame shoulder, but says he now
feels much better.
The healer himself did not talk much
but did tell Gatza that when he left
Alderman FoX's home he walked TO-
ward the. mountains, as he had been d.
rected 10 do, and at an expected place
ing. He mounted the animal and fol-
lowed the foothills until daylight, and
then went east until he struck the Gulf
railroad track, which he followed
to Overflow He would not give any ac-
curate account Of his trip or say where
he was going. Every endeavor was
used TO get him to stop in Pueblo, but
he refused. He did say:
az feel that l will return to Pueblo.
and when do Will be more powerful
than ever"
Schlatter was induced to take the ev-
ening meal with the GatZa family, and
at the conclusion he asked Mr.. GatZa
to read some chapters from a new BIZ
BILE which he was carrying. When the
subject of going into Pueblo was broach-
ed, Schlatter said he would not go, but
would bless some handkerchiefs. He
blessed fourteen.
Mr. Gadza told him of a friend in the
city who was sick. But" said Mr..
Gatza, "he is an infidel." The healer
studied for some time and then told
him to take one of the handerkerchiefs
to the man, saying: with his cure he
will have faith"
LEFT DURING THE STORM.
Mr.. and Mrs. GatZa expected Schlat-
ter to remain during the night, but just
before o'clock he said he must go
and refused to be persuaded to remain.
The wind was blowing and it was very
cold. Schlatter said that the storm was
providential, as no one would be look
ing for him in the city. When near the
mineral palace Schlatter objected and
proposed to get out unless GatZa took
him around the city.
After long drive Mr.. .Gatza put him
out at the southwest corner-4of the city,
leaving him there after few minutes
conversation. Schlatter set still for a
minute and started slowly south on the
road which would have taken him just
west of the city.
Before letaving Mr.. Gatza Schlatter
asked him to write to Mr.. Fox, with
whom qle stopped while in Denver, and
told him to say that he was we'll and
that he was going where the Father d.
rected.
Schlatter seemed to regard the action
of the people in Denver in selling their
places in the line was bad, and told Of
a boy who stood In line all night to pre-
serve a place for his lame sister. When
morning came the boy was offered 81
for his place and the temptation was too
great, so he sold it. This thing seemed
to trouble Schlatter very much. AL
though he would give no intimation of
his destination, there seems to be no
question but that he is on his way TO
Albuquerque to commence feast. Mr..
Gazta is man of unQuestionable YER
acity and the story cannot but be &C
cepted
