C.E. CONVENTION MYSTERY
Strange Disappearance of a Western
Woman in Boston.
HUSBAND NOTIFIED OF HER DEATH
A Mysterious Letter Conveys
the Information.
NO OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE DEATH

Fears That She May Have Met with Foul
Rayt- Well Provided With Money and
Jeweiry The Mystery That Followed
Her Visit to Boston TO Attend the Chris
tian Endeayor Convention.
Boston, July 30.--A most mysterious
affair connected with the recent Christian
Endeavor Convention here has just come
to light. Mrs. L. T. Gardiner of Arcadia,
Neb., who came here as delegate to the
convention, has not yet returned to her
home, husband and child, and the report
OF her death here is not supported by the
records of the health department or by
any known facts.
Mrs. Gardiner is So years old. She had
always been apparently healthy aud
when her husband received from her
letter dated July 18th, stating that she
was about to die, he was astounded. Fol-
lowing that letter came another, signed
"Mr. J. Brown of South Boston," who is
not known to Mr.. Gardiner or to any one
else, stating tina. the woman was dead,
and that in the interest of economy her
body would be buried here The death
registries bear no record OF any such
death, and detectives employed by Mr..
Gardiner, have failed to find trace of
Mrs. Gardiner, dead or alive.
1t is feared by some of those interested
in the case that Mrs. Gardiner has been
spirited away by thieves who were at
tracted by the large sums of money and
valuable jewelry she carried, while some
believe she died and that her body was
secured for dissection purposes.
When Mrs, Gardiner was in Boston she
did not stay with the rest of the Nebraska
delegates at the regular headquarters, but
with some friends, who cannot now be
found.
