OGDEN PREACHER IS MISSING
D. RHYS FRANCIS DEPARTS FOR
VER-POPULATED EAST"
Business Partner Said to Regret
Francis Failure to Make a Set
Element Before Going Away.
Especial to The Herald.)

Ogden, May 1.-THE Rev. d. Rhys
Francis, who left Ogden some weeks
ago, will, in all probability, not return
very soon. At least this is the theory
advanced by those who know some
thing of his financial transactions dur
ing the past few weeks. Mr.. Tout,
who was associated with Mr.. Francis
in the work of selling a map of the holy
land. is back in Ogden, and while he
is not discussing the business affairs of
Mr. Francis, it is generally understood
that the ministerial gentleman left
with something more than his share of
the money.
AS near as can be learned, Mr.. Fran
els, together with Mr.. Ed Tout and
one or two other gentlemen, left here
to sell the map in Salt Lake county and
southern Utah. Their plan was to give
a concert in each town, closing with
lecture on the holy land, illustrated
from the map. Mr.. Tout had charge
of the music and the map sales, while
Francis was the lecturer. The project
was quite successful, the map selling
by the hundreds. About conference
time Mr.. Tout came to Ogden, leaving
Mr.. Francis in charge. In a day or two
Tout got a letter, saying that Francis
was obliged to leave because of the Sc
we're illness of some of his children in
the east. The letter had evidently been
delayed in transmission, for Francis
had been gone some time when Mr..
Tout returned to the field. Most of the
maps and the money We're also gone.
Ii is said that Francis told others that
he had gone TO accept the pastorate of
a church in San Antonio. Tex.
Mr.. Francis came to Ogden about
eight months ago. and soon becaEle
very we'll known. 1t was given out
that he was a minister who had been
dropped from one of the orthodox
churches in the east by reason of his
liberal views. He was well educated
and a fluent speaker upon almost any
subject. He is Welsh. a musician of
some ability, and a painter of unques-
toned skill. He became quite popular
and spoke from several pulpits and
platforms. He supplied the pulpit for
the Presbyterian church during the alb
sence OF Rev. Richardson in Great
Falls. Later he delivered a lecture IN
the Weber stake academy, and shortly
afterwards went on this southern trip.
He was young, handsome, and reck-
oned something of Don Juan by those
who knew him intimately. The popular
impression was that he was unmarried,
but a few understood that he had sep
arated from his wife in Emporia, Kan.
Those who heard him speak in the
Weber stake academy thought him a
good Mormon: others thought him a
Presbyterian or Methodist, according TO
where they heard him speak

$50 o'clock by two men walking along
the Oregon Short Line railway from
