From the Rocky Mountain News.

From the Rocky Mountain News.
Schlatter is coming back to Denver
in 1899, when he will be eight feet high,
and the kingdom of heaven will be
established here In preference to the
rest of the world. At least that IL
what was told a fair audience yester-
day by a lady who is proud CT the dis
tinction of having sheltered the healer
ia her secluded home in a New Mexi-
can canon for three months.
Ever since the Schlatter Juror and
the sudden disappearance Of the So
called 'sdivine healer" from the resi-
dence of Mr.. e. L. Fox in North Den
YER a year ago, all sorts of reports and
rumors have been published and cir
culated as to the Whereabouts OF the
man, and numerous people have
claimed to have seen him. He went
into New Mexico, being seen several
times travelling through the country 10
that direction seated on an old white
horse. He was traced into southwest
ern New Mexico, where he suddenly
disappeared and was heard OF no
further.
Indeed, the people had almost for
gotten the long-haired ex-shoemaker
until there arrived in Denver, a few
days ago, a woman, Mrs. Ada Morley
Jarrett, who ONE from lower New
Mexico, where she lives on an isolated
ranch. Mrs. Jarrett claims Schlatter
came to her ranch early last January
and that she gave him shelter for a
space of three months. During all this
time Sohlatter talAed with her and she
was enabled to learn much Of the won
derful man whose g%enuineDess she de-
voutly believed in. Mrs. Jarrett Is a
belieYer in divine science, and while
visiting Denver has been prevailed
upon by believers in that faith here to
deliver a few talks on her experience
with Schlatter.
Mrs. Jarrett is a well built woman OF
middle age and possesses clear blue
eyes which twinkle merrily now and
then during a conversation as she Ok
presses certain ideas in words of west
ern coinage.
Schlatter remained at her house dur
ing the months of January, February
and March, his presence there being
known to no one outside, the wish of
the healer himself. He left in March
for the southwest, telling iMrs. Jarrett
to keep his visit a secret from the
world until November, when she should
write out the details OF it for publica-
ton.
The white horse Francis laftxDenyer
on, the speaker said, made forty miles
the first night after leaving Datil, N.
NJ, and carried 500 pounds upon his
back and often went without food or
drink for days. Such were some Of the
experiences of the healer and his horse.
He pursued q southerly direction, and
NOT a white man or woman
knows Of his whereabouts.
ARRIVAL OF sCHLATTER.
just about thirty-four Sundays ago,
and just before sunset, Francis Schlat-
ter, the 'shealer," mounted on his
white horse, "Butte," was riding |
the Datils in Southwestern New |
Mexico. He arrived at "Hermosillo"
ranch in January, where there was two
feet of snow on the ground, and at half
past 8 o'clock in the evening, knocked
at the door Of the speaker, who enter
tained him for the three ensuing
months, and who kept him resting in
5eclusion.
For three months, Mrs. Jarrett says,
The listened to and took notes from
his wonderful man, who Is to re-appear
1t no distant day. Upon his reap
oearance in Denver, 1t is promised
hat Schlatter will appear in q differ
,nt role than that Of "~healing," for he
will then speak and deliver the gospel,
IS Jesus Christ taught it 1900 years
lgo.
Mr.. Schlatter converses fuently in
several languages, and talks upon any
under the sun, whether 1t be
philosophical, scientific or religious.
BY no mean Is he ignorant, as gener-
supposed. The "healer" says
Father" wants him 10 travel for
wenty- five years, to date back from
he time he left his home in Alsace. A
prophecy made at Datil, il that during
.899 war shall break out between the
sold powers, or mammon worshipers,
md the meek, who shall inherit the
'arth, or the laborers; in other words,
he long predicted war between capital
ind labor.
Francis, as the speaker always styles
he healer, said this earth was on the
've of a new dispensation, which oc-
