Tuesday as counsel for the defendant in
two law suits brought through Lawyer c.
c. Fits. The plaintiff in each case was
l.. Y. Weed and the defendant was Arvin
II. Pond The FIRST suit was an action of
trespass. Weed alleged that Pond remoy-
ed some phosphate owned by Weed from
a building in which il was stored and piled
it up ont o: door where it was damaged by
the action OF the weather. The facts as
they appeared were that Ponds son leased
the building in which the phosphate was
stored OF F. F. Mccarthy, the owner of
the building, and that notice was given
Weed to remove the phosphate. Weed
neglected to do so, and Pond removed 1t.
The court held that Weed had no ground
for complaint, and the case was dismissed.
The second case was an action of general
assumpst, Weed having a store bill in of
set. They were at first unable to agree.
A jury was drawn after which the plaintiff
decided to ask for a settlement on the
basis of the parties giving mutual receipts
discharging each from all Indebtedness to
the other, which was done. The costs in
each case We're taxed against the plaintiff.
The cases were before Justice j. L. Town

CONTINUES A MYSTERY.

A dispatch from Kansas City of Nov
10 reads:
E. @. Read, travelling salesman for the
Swofford Bros Dry Goods Company, Wis.
tied Chief of Police Hayes this afternoon
to learn If the police had found any trace
OF his father, who disappeared from the
fremont house, in this city, July s.
Since the day of his disappearance no
one has seen or heard OF w G. Read and
the sudden manner of his taking-off
promises TO remain always a mystery.
w. @. Read was q wealthy farmer from
Albany, Or, who went to Parsons, Kan,
to visit his SON. On July s he registered
at the fremont hotel, and at 6 o'clock in
the evening spoke pleasantly to the day
clerk who was just going of duty, and
walked out. No one has seen him since,
and although theories of murder or sui
ciGe have been advanced, not a mite Of
evidence has been discovered TO substan.
tiate them.
E. c. Read, the son, has searched all
through Missouri and Kansas for his
father, out to no avail. The New York
l.lfe insurance Company, in which Read
was insured for 5000, has also had its
agents at work, without success.
The only theory advanced by the police
Is that Read met with foul play. 1t is
believed that persons who knew he had
considerable money followed him TO Kan
sas City from Parsons and murdered
him. He could have been enticed to some
Isnely spot on the river and slugged and
robbed, and his BODY thrown into the
Missouri river TO hide the crime. II he
Vas murdered, the crime was probably
by persons who were led to
believe that he had on his person the
1900 which he gave his wife before leav-
ny home.
