L1NDsBoRa's MYSTERY.
A Man Who Threatens Suicide is
Missing.

e-0
As stated in a REFLECTOR specia
last week from Solomon, Lindsbor!
people are much worked up over tn,
; sudden disappearance Of one of it
citizens. Inquiry was made in regart
to the body recently seen in tn,
river about two miles west of Solomon
which is thought might be the bod,
Of the missing man. The Lindsbore
Record contains the following in re.
gard to the case:
c. J. johnson mysteriously disap.
peared from this place Saturday night
Feb. Is. Up to the time Of his dis
appearance nothing amiss was noticed
by his acquaintance, except that he
was much troubled over some of the
details concerning the purchase of a
farm he had recently bought from j..
Christian.
Saturday evening about 9 o'clock
be left Mr.. Rosine's home, where he
was staying, and has been seen by no
living person since that time. He
took no overcoat nor made any prepa-
rations for any kind of a trip; had no
money with him, or at most very
small sum, he said no good-bye's to
the family or his friends, but when
the door closed behind him that night
it was as if the earth had opened and
swallowed him up.
Sunday morning Mr.. Rosine became
impressed something was wrong and
reported the case to Marshal Van
Horn who at once instituted inquiry
and search for the missing man, but
all in vain, no trace of him could be
found. After fruitless search his
effects were examined and upon fore
ing bis trunk note was discovered
reading as follows:
write to Sweden that my days
are ended and address to Mr.. F. G.
johnson, Brunsmala, Sorg, Tranas,
Sweden"
Underneath the note was an envel.
Ope directed to the address named.
Search has since been continued on
the theory Of self-destruction, quite a
party has been out searching every
conceivable place in the vicinity. The
ponds have been dragged and the
river searched as far as possible but
without result. The general belief is
that the missing man committed sui
eide while temporarily insane.

Louis Davenport, Of Mosier, Ont, was
robbed of $4,000 worth of gold dust
more than 80 yenrs ago. Recently a
stranger came, vaguely limiting that he
might possibly make a disclosure about
the theft. The man went down to visit
Mr.. Davenport at Mosier last week, and,
rs a result Of that visit, Mr.. Davenport
vent to The Dallcs. The stranger has
been very reticent, but by putting dis
connected statements together Mr..
Davenport has gathered that the man
who took the $4,000 in gold dust was
known to this stranger; that some
time since, realizing that he was ap-
preaching the grave, the thief made a
will, in which he provided for Sha pay-
ment Of the $4,000 with interest at legal
rates from the day it was taken until
It shall be paid The ill-gotten money,
It seems, prospered in his hands, and
$4,000 will be paid to Mr.. Davenport.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatmeant, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-
-cous surfaces Of the system. They

it fails to cure. Send for circulars

THAT NEW TRIAL.
A Plain Matter Of Law, Not One Of
Opinion.

The News with ill.aimed zeal abuse
the REFLECTOR for giving the facts il
the granting Of new trial in the Nc
Naspy case because Of County Attor
ney Kane's referring to the defendants
failure to testify. ltsays: 1.-The facts
are that Mr.. Kane conducted the cases
against Mr.. McNaspy with great abil.
ity, and it was only through tech.
nicality, for which the county attor-
ney was not 10 blame, that he gains
new trial" The "technicality" was
simply that Mr.. Kane forgot or mis-
understood the statutes. In address.
ing the jury he said in substance;
1.-The law declares that | must not
refer to the fact that the defendant
did not testify, so | will not do it."
This was emphasized and repeated in
the same form, evidently under the
impression that thus there was no
reference made while as a matter of
fact it brought out the matter clearly
and made new trial certainty. No
one was to blame but the county at
torney and the county will have to
pay the bill for a new trial. The
News says it will "cost nothing"
Has way been invented to conduct
criminal trials freep
Of course the county attorney will
get nothing but will sheriff, Jurors,
witnesses and clerk receive no feesp
Don't you really know that it will
cost the county about 5000?

CLEAN UP THE TOWN.
Abilene Needs q General Good Looks
Society.

1t is not too early to call attention
to one need Of this city which is a
general cleaning up. The time to do
it is in the spring. Last summer
things got in such condition that it
was the talk of the city but nothing
was done. A few firstclass regula-
tions right now, thoroughly perse-
vered in would do great deal to
make the city healthier and happier.
There should be stop to using the
area ways under the sidewalks for all
sorts of refuse. to the piling Of refuse
on the sidewalks and placing chicken
coops there also. The sidewalks on
the principal streets need repairing
badly and it seems to be difficult for
the city to do it at its own expense
and wait for the return in the form OF
special taxes. Abilene ought to have
Town Improvement society whose
effort should be to make the city pref
tier and better. A little wholesome
cooperation and effort would increase
the value of property in this city ma
terially. The time to begin is now.
If the people Of town take no pride
in it surely no one else will do so.

ton in Washington, who will retain
them until the journey is to be re-
sumed, when they will be made good
for continuous passage to destination
by extension or exchange. This ar
rangement will doubtless be greatly
appreciated by the travelling public
because it will permit the holders Of

They HAVE TROUBLES.
SUTPHEN RESIDENTS IN QUINN'S
COURT.
Tenant and Proprietor Have a Half
Dozen Kinds o. Grief All In One
Week-Peace Warrant Sworn Out.

In Judge Quinns court Friday wal
heard the case of Samuel j. Krader
the lessee Of Su,phen's mill in north
east Dickinson, against Gilbert A,
Sutphen. the owner Of the mill. Kra'
der is an elderly man and he has been
having trouble with Sutphen. The
latter, he alleges, has been dissatis-
fed with his work and has threatened
to let out several quarts of Mr.. Kra-
der's blood. So he swore out peace
warrant.
The testimony Of Krader was very
positive that Sutphen threatened to
kill him and spill his blood all over
the cold, cold ground Of Fragrant Hill
and adjoining townships. Sutphen
denied any such sanguinary talk but
the Justice decided that it would do
no harm to be certain Of quiet in the
neighborhood and bound Sutphen
over in the sum of $500 to keep the
peace. The bond was given and all
went home happier if not weather..
The two men have civil case up
in Enterprise. Sutphen has sued
Krader for 1898. Krader is the
tenant Of the Sutphen mill and from
time to time as the water wheel would
clog up he sent man down to clean
it out and charged Sutphen So for
each cleaning and applied it on the
rent. Sutphen claims that nothing
was said in regard to repairs when
Krader leased the mill and therefore
be sues to recover the rent. This
case is to be heard at Enterprise
March 3.
