CAMPAIGN NOTES.

One of the anomalies OF this cam.
paign is that the business man whose
wisdom aud experience is sought for nv
farmers and laboring men in their privotc
matters. is considered by many OF them
as an unsafc adviser in political matters.
The issues OF this national election are
business issues. The question Is, how
eau the industries Of the nation be re.
sivcd. ltwould seem as'if the judgment
OF the men who manage the industries
should be- consnltcil.

Greek mystery has bssn added, but
which throws no light upon the case.
The Avalanche readers will remem-
bef the mysterious disappearance Of
Ar. and Mrs.. Richard Thomas last
March. Had they dropped through
the earth, their withdrawal could not
have been moro complete. Thsre
we're no signs Of foul play. All the
stock, vehicles, saddles and other
effects were on tho ranch. Several
theories were avanced, but nothing
has developed to justify the beliefs.
Jno. r. Thomas of HALEY, brother
of the missing man, came over ~
soon - he learned of the disappear
ance, and took charge Of the prop
erty. Sometime in April last hs
hired Z German, called Otto mo
other name known), to cultivate
the ranch, care for tho stock and
take general charge Of the place. II
now develops that this man has dis
appeared 40 effectively and mystsri-
ously % did Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas.
He vas last seen about five weeks
ago. He had not drawn any wages.
Mr.. John Thomas, who 10 mine
foreman for the Florida Mountain
Mining Company, has besn kept
constantly at the mine, and did not
learn Of the disappearance Of the
German until last Monday. He
feels greatly incensed ct the way
matters are drifting, and although
a man who is dependent upon his
labor for funds, he says he will meet
the Board of Com missioners of this
county halfway in offering reward
to ferret out the damnable work.
