township. suddenly disappeared just be-
fore harvest. What became OF him his
relatives or neighbors never knew.
just before his disappearance he had
contracted with John Havemeyer to
work for him during harvest and haying.
After leaving Havemeyer's on the day Of
making the contract, he went IN the di-
rection Of the farm of his uncle, Henry
Pehling. He had said that he intended
to stay there over night and go home
the next day. He did not do so, howev-
er, and he has not been seen since, thrt
any OF his friends know of. His horse
and buggy he had left at Havemeyer's.
Some search. was made for HIM, but it
did not prove effective.
Last week, when his uncle, Henry Peh
ling came to New Ulm, he found a letter
in his buggy. The exact contents Of the
letter cannot be given, but it was un-
signed and to the effect that the missing
man had been killed by three men and
that his body was buried on the right
side of the road in certain wheat field.

could easily be found and an investiga-
ton will probably be made soon, if it
has not been made already.

The Minneapolis Times comments ed.

boy as fellows: The letter bears upor
its face the stamp of genuineness. It is I,
boys letter all through. The simplicit,
of expression, the use Of short words, it.
sententious and direct style, all show the
handiwork of a boy, and smart boy a,
