DROPS OUT OF SIGHT.
Strange Disappearance Curing the
Christian Endeavor Con-
V0ntiOn

Boston, Mass, July 80 "A most mystic
rious affair connected with the recent
Christian Endeavor convention here has
just come to light Mrs. e. Gardiner of
Arcadia, Neb., who came here as dele
gate to the convention, has not yet re-
turned to her home and husband and chill
dren, and the report of her death here is
not supported by the records by any
known facts.
Mrs Gardner is 35 years old. She had
always been apparently healthy, and
when her husband received from. her
letter dated July ID stating that she was
about to die, he was astoniShed. Follow
ing the letter came another signed d. u.
Brown of South Boston, whom neither
Mr.. Gardiner nor any one else knows,
stating that the woman was, dead and
that in the interest of economy her body
would be buried here. The death regis
tiers bear no record of any such death and
detectives employed by Mr.. Gardiner have
failed to find a trace of Mrs. Gardiner,
dead or alive.
1t is feared by some of those inter
ested in the case that Mrs. Gardiner has
been spirited away by thieves who were
attracted by the large sum of money and
valuable jewelry she carried, while some
believe that she died and her body was
secured for dissection.
When Mrs. Gardiner was in Boston she
did not stay with the rest of the Nebraska
delegation at the regular headquarters,
but with some friends who cannot TOW be

representative Republicans from about

cial session at IL o'clock. The prin-
cipal business to be transacted was the
fixing of a date for the state conven-
ton, and September II was selected.
There was a good deal of talk concerning
the probable effect upon the party Of the
enforcement of the excise law in this
city, but the opinion was generally en-
tertained that by election day in Novem-
Der, the mater would become dead is
sue.
Naturally there is much discussion con-
corning the candidate for the presidency.
Thomas G. Plat said:
Il do not know that Gov. Morton is a
candidate for the presidency. If he is
he has not confideG in me, and have no
other means of getting trustworthy in
formation on the subject except to wait
until he is pleased to enlighten me-"
IF you should learn that he is a can
didate would you help him all you
could? ~
20, yes. I should do what / could to
advance his cause"
Then you may be quoted as saying
that as soon as you are officially in
formed that Gov. Morton is in the presi-
Dental field you may be considered as
being with him and for him and that it
is your opinion that the delegates from
this state will do what they can to secure
his nomination."

things"

United States Regulars on One Side
and Armed Civil Officers on
the Other.

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 30.-Relia-
BILE information received in this city at a
late hour last night is to the effect that
several collisions between Indians and
whites have occurred, not, however, in
Jackson's Hole, but near the Teton coun>
try.
4ander, Wyo., July 3O.-Fifty thorough
ly armed and equipped horsemen have
30 to Big Wind river. They were to
=, Joined by thirty-fve more mounted
III Il at Horse creek and will pick up such
recruits as may be found along the route.
Their destination was the vicinity OF
Union pass that they might be enabled to
head off any hostiles coming through any
of the passes leading from Jackson's Hole.
The men went out in two sections. The
first squad was in command of Arthur
NJ. SparkhaWk, ex-sheriH of the county.
The second was headed by Sheriff Grim
met. Telegraphic orders have been re-
ceived from Gov. Richards by the COM
mander of companies B, G, n and G to
the protection of the people Of the county.
The passes leading into the Lander val
ley will be guarded and timely warning
De given if the hostiles are driven this
way by the military.
Frank Lowe, guide and Indian fighter,
reports twenty BannOckS camped in Lit
tie Papag0nie canyon, eleven miles south
of this city. 1t is said they were on no
hostile mission, simply skulking around
the mountains to get out of harms way,
and doubtless with an eye to future bust
ness.
Fort Washable, Wyo., July 3O.-No
trouble is anticipated here unless the
troops force the hostiles back, and then
there will be serious danger, as the post
is garrisoned by only one company of the
Eighth infantry. The post could scarcely
defend itself i'll event of trouble. Should
there. be an uprising the Indians will
probably concentrate in and around Jack
sons Hole. This place is inaccessible,
there being very few passes leading in or
out, besides being covered with forests
IL which large game of all kinds abound.
This country has been used for years by
the Indians for hunting purposes and they
are well acquainted with every foot of the
ground. while the troops are not. This
is marked advantage and, although they
might be outnumbered, it will be extreme
~ difficult to dislodge them from their
launts
