generally believed than ever, that he
has committed suicide. His wife left
with six children. most of whom are
still young, is almost distracted. and
has the sympathies of the entire com
munity.
Some Of York's friends say that they
think that his mind was unbalanced by
the death of his boy. two years ago,
and that when he had been drinking.
ever so little, he went to the spot and
wept. remaining there for hours at a
time. The brook has been carefully
dredged. yet no traces of him have
been found.
The disappearance is most mysteri-
