In 1900, and in the Meantime
There Would BE Reports of HIS

fren.ls og the healer who believes that

SchIattar sought SccluSion for time at
the lonesome ranch OF Mrs. Ada Morley Jar

JaTret has moved since TO Denver, lnd she
believes she has a mission now Ia perform

saying that hc would remain with her an
indefinite length of time. but thatif she or
anyone about the ranch gave notice OF his
presence L. the public he would 60 i'm
nediatcly. Ms Jarret pledged herself
10 keep faith with him, and obliged the
farm hands to do likewise. Old Butte the
white horse, was turned out in back
pasture
SChlatter remained three months, eating
three meals with great regularity and
getting fat Ia the agree able surroundings.
Tie talked little. and always in a mystical
way, referring to his dreams and visions IF
THE Father and Of the great work that
hc planned for the future But in time the
hiding place ~ the healer became known.
'At.A 'tN' 10 -AAN- JhAANb " ~ hSNft VI
SchIatter was not hidden at her ranch
without delay She told SchIatter that
people wer- beginning TO ask her about
HIM. Not waiting for another meal, SchIat-
ter set out again upon his wanderings and
disappeared from public view.
When the news Of the discovery of the
skeleton Of a man and the effects of
SChlattcr reached Mrs. Jarret she refused
70 believe the reports. He said when he
LEFT my ranch" said she. that he would
write me. l gave him the addressed en-
yelopes found among his effects, but from
the day he left US. March 20, seS, until a |
few days ago. when ] read of the finding |
OF his effects and skeleton supposed to |
be that OF his body, / never heard from |
hum. | told him when he was mounting old |
Butte 90 ride away that I would never |
never SER him again. He replied that | |
would. The Father had told him he had a |
greater and more important work to do |
tian any which he had vet undertaken, H. |
SAID. and that must be performed befor.. |
he could die. The effects found were un- |
doUhtedly his; the Skele ton is not. and ! /
am positive that Schla,ter yet lives
Among the res sons why I think the |
skeleton is rot that of Schlatter is that |
plains people know that coyotes never |
allow a dead animal TO remain where e /
falls. This skeleton Is reported to have
been found I'm recruitment ait. t.tUde. n IL it /
never had been disturbed ! know the /
coyotes wo,ild never have left il so 4 il /
had ever lain there bearing flesh.
Another reason which may not he
worth much TO others is that schlatter said
he must so into absolute secret retirement
and that he would come forth in 900. lie
alsI said that we should heaT OF his death.
that we weuld find things that had belonged
to. hum. and that Creetdeal Of money would
he spent in searching for him.
'Franris SChlatter wasthe most cha rming
and agreeable person ever net. He lived
with us as one Of us n simple country style
he was easily pleased and grateful for
everything that was done for him. He |
sang about the house 3 great Zeal, and his
voice WAS pleasant to hear. He used fire.
queHtly 10 sa thathe was the happiest man
alive. and believe be was. His eyes werr
al ways luminous but when he talked Of his |
work among the poor-'the siowntrodtien
poor he called them--his eyes would !aaze
Hike two balls OF fire He was abstemious
at the tahle, and extremely neat He was
orderly about his room, and everything had

and the cowboys about the ranch said he
was the first real square man they had
ever met"
This is the testimony OF the last friend OF
Schlattei, who talked with him. and TO IL
disciples Of the healer pin their faith. To
them schlatter is not dead. an d because OF
