j. G. Mccoy Of Appleton Escaped
the Boxers and is on His
Way Home

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 17.-[Special. /
Word was received by friends OF J. c..
Mccoy that he will leave the Orient in
short time and arrive in Appleton about
September 10. The letter was written
in Nagasaki, Japan. and was undated. al
though from personal illusions, it is
thought to have been written not earlier
than July 20. Mr.. Mccoy was formerly
an insurance agent in this city and left
about year ago to pursue the same
business in China. For d long time af-
ter the beginning of the Boxer move
ment, no word was received as to his
whereabouts and printed reports stated
several times that he was shut up in Pc
kin. Direct word from him, however,
discredits these reports as he was in the
southern part of the empire when the
trouble commenced and has since gone to
Nagasaki, where he is at present and will
remain until he leaves for this country.
