HERE'S A MYSTERY.
Former Rich lillian Leaves Home With
Stranger and is Never Heard
of Again.

The appearance of horse at Ne
vada, Saturday, in the possession 81
some horse ira ders, revived the sad
sad story" SAYS the Post. OF the
mysterious disappearance last May
at Kansas City of IL son of W. II.
Quick.
So closely did this animal resemble
the horse driven by the missing man
when he left home that those who
saw it Were almost certain il was the
same Mr.. Quick. however, upon ex-
animation pronounced it not his
sons horse.
The missing man was the eldest
son of W. H. Quick. of Nevada. He
was a carpenter, and resided with his
family in Kansas City, Kan.
On the morning of May 10, last.
he left home for point about II
miles in the country, where he had
contract to build barn. He was
driving a good horse to d brand
new spring wagon and had a gold
watch and $50 in money on his per-
son. He was accompanied by a
strange man about 40 years of age
who had applied TO him for work the
day before. Mr. Quick expected TO
return home Saturday night, but he
did not come, and though every
effort possible has been made, moth
ing whatever has ever been heard of
him. He disappeared as completely
rs if the earth had opened and swal-
lowed bin up.
The stranger, who left home in his
returned in three or four
days. He was arrested and is now
in jail charged with the murder of |
his benefactor, but this he persistent
~ denies. He explains his return by |
saying that after proceeding few |
miles with Mr.. Quick he concluded to |
return to Kansas City, where he
could make more money than Quick |
was to pay him. Neither the watch |
nor money were found upon him. Ii
is believed that he murdered Quick |
and disposed of the rig, watch and
money to cOnfederates
The case is, in many respects. sim

C0NGER'S DISPATCH
COMPLETELY VERIFIED.
Original Cipher Telegram Signed by
Cenger Is Dug Up and Delivered
TO Consul Fowler at Che Foo.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 3.-The
state department to-day issued the
following:
The state department has received
a dispatch from Mr.. Fowler, consul
at Che Foo, dated at night on Aug.
2, stating that when he learned from
the Shangai papers that doubts were
entertained OF the genuineness of the
Conger cipher telegram. he wired on
the 9th TO the governor of Shanp
Tung to send him the original bv
courier. The governor at once con-
piled with the request, sending a spe-
cial postman, who, by travelling
night and day for five days, made
the journey, which in ordinary time
would have required twelve DAYS. He
delivered to Mr.. Fowler the original
OF the COnger cipher dispatch. 1t was
signed by Dir. Conger and dated July
H. IL Is practically the same as the
received at thestate depart
ment, with several words prefxed.
which came in an unintelIigible form
to the Chinese legation here.
The dispatch in its complete form
says that the members of the Ameri-
ian legation had been besieged for a
month in the British legation.
Mr. Fowler has no doubt of the
genuineness Of the dispatch.
