WHERE Is ALLISON?
A Gener Air of Mystery Relative to His
Whereabouts


Great Falls, Dec. S.-where is w. II.
Allison. the constable? That is the
question which is worrying quite a
number of people about this town.
Since election he has been seen but two
or three times. His is vacant
but contain most OF his clothing. His Of
flee is unoccupied and there is an air
of mystery generally covering his
whereabouts and his actions of late. On
Nov. IL he was in the Office of Judge
Burleigh and promised to squar up
some accounts with him at once, but
left the Office without so doing. On Nov.
20 the judge met hin at the lodge meet
ing of the Odd Fellows, where Allison
paid up his dues. Since that time he
vas seen late on the night of the 25th
and one man thinks that he has seen
him since, early on Tuesday morning.
about 3 o'clock, coming across the
river from the west side. His over
coat is still hanging in his room and,
as stated, most Of his clothes are there
also. 1t is known that on the night
Of the cath he had a considerable
amount of currency on his person and
there seems to be three solutions of
the mystery: He has been held up.
robbed and possibly murdered: he has
deliberately left town: he has delib-
erately committed suicide.
OF the three solutions the first and
tiii.d have no foundation save as pos
sible theories. and the remaining solu-
ton few people are willing to accept.
Yet IL is a fact hat there are some cir
cumstances which might make such an
act possible with some people. He was
indebted to Judge Burleigh to the ex-
tent of about s35 or $40; he had collect
ed garnishments. probably to the
amount of $500: he had $50 of the funds
of the Hold Carriers union, according
to report. According to the story of a
friend who remained with him in his
room on Thursday night, Nov. "a. he
had a large roll of money. The fol-
lowing nights he was seen by Officer
Sheehy about midnight and hat is the
latest definite information on the sub
ject. II is to be hoped that all three
solutions of the mystery are incorrect
and that Allison will turn up some
morning all right and with a satisfac-
tory explanation of his disappearance.
