The Famous Heaters Work In Denver
Goes Away Mysterionsly.


Denver, Col, Nov. 15.-Quite scnsa-
tion was created here by the announce
ment that Francis Schlatter had mys-
teriously disappeared. Thursday morn
ing member of the Fox family. with
which family he had been staying, went
about eight o'clock to cali him Tor
breakfast, but his room was found va
cant.
Later In the morning note from
schlatter was found reading: Mr.. Fox.
my mission is finished. The Father
takes me away. (Signed) +. Schlat-
ter"
Denver, Col. Nov. 10.-The retreat of
Francis Schlatter, the healer, has been
well covered. II would seem that
where he is so well known he could not
mDNe far without being discovered, but
this man is not like ordinary men. He
has suffered privations in the Arizona
deserts so severe that few days of
fasting in the Colorado hills during
comparatively mild weather is no hard
ship. Besides he is so respected by the
general public that were he To request
seclusion and privacy he would be
granted it without question. Hence
he may be at Rooney's ranch near the
Garden of the Angels at Morrison, or
he may be quietly resting near the city.
All day long people wandered over TO
the Fox cottage to gaze upon the scene
where for IS days Francis Schla ter
stood administering the healing touch.
The trains Friday brought in several
hundred persons who had not learned
before starting upon their long journey
that he had mysteriously disappeared
during the night of November l3. One
woman, who seemed of more than ordi-
nary intelligence, asked to be shown the
exact spot where Schlatter had stood,
She then climbed over the fence, stood
in the place and declared she had faith
sufficient to believe that act would be
the means of eifecting a cure of her bod.
lily ills.
The disappearance of Schlatter was
the main topic of conversation all over
the city. The federal officers say that
the case against the handkerchief fakirs
will be dropped and that Schlatter may
return for all they care. Few think
that he will return and his disciples are
divided as TO the meaning his last mes
sage conveys: "My mission is ended, y
reads the message. and some think that
that ends his earthly career. Others
| say that he is not far off, and will re-
veal himself III few days. Others hold
10 the more rational conclusion that he
has tramped away to avoid the crowds
which would undoubtedly have fol-
lowed him had he gone publicly, and
such believe they will hear of him later.
1t is an undoubted fact that through
| all these weeks of excitement many
persons have been benefited, whe Their
| their ills were imaginative or not and
that spiritual growth has been mani
| tested in those who sought him out,
though many continue to believe that
he is a harmless lunatic.
