These are 1899 goods, in stripes and

HARDING HAS GONE.


r. H. Harding, the alleged Montana
capitalist who reported to the police last
week that his young and pretty wife had
fled to Alaska with a supposedly rich
Klondiker, has left the city. and the po-
lice are making no further efforts to To-
cate his vanished spouse.
The statement that Harding is a cap
italist is called Into question In letter
received by the Post-Inteliigencer yester-
day from Rev. r. Neale, pastor of the
Congregational church at Huntington,
Or. Mr. Neale says that last August
Harding and his wife went to his town,
the husband representing himself as a TOR
mer railroad surgeon. He represented
himself. so Mr.. Neale says. as being sick
and needy. and the good people of Hunt
ington raised money enough to pay. his
fare to Portland and his hotel bill at
Huntington. Mr. Neale further says he
has heard that Harding at one time APP
piled to the authorities at Salt Lake for
assistance. He says, however. he cannot
verify this statement.
At the Rainier Grand hotel yesterday. Il
was stated that Harding had paid his bill,
with the exception Of two days room
rent After his wife left 1t was stated
that he claimed to be In financial straits.
and was allowed to take his baggage
from the hotel without settling for the
last two days he stopped there. Where
he Is now Is unknown.
