Taylor Borrow has been found and
the veil OF mystery that enshrouded
his disappearance ten years ago has
been lifted. He lived south Of Ham
ilton, and with two companions on
June IA, 1890. went to the Oakley races
and was never heard Of again, says the
Youngstown Signal.
His family and friends thought that
he had met with foul play. and bis
body had been secretly buried TO hide
the crime. The mysterious disappear
ance filed many columns of the news
papers at the time, but without avail.
He could not be found. But yester-
day a telegram was received by his
family from Portland, Ore, stating
that under the name of Chas. Dumont
Taylor Barrow was paralyzed inmate
Of the City Hospital and would die
The sufferer wished his family to
claim his body When he left home he
was accompanied by Harry Pitzer and
Hudson Scott, two prominent citizens
living near Sharonyille On the day
Of his disappearance 1t was shown that
he drew $500 out of the bank and
this only made the suspicion of foul
play stronger. His companions left
him in the city and thought nothing
more Of him. On Tuesday, June 10,
Mrs. Barrow cane to Sbaronville and
going to the Victor Hotel, of which
hotel Scott was proprietor, inquired if
he had seen her husband Scott told
her that Barrow had left them at the
depot and was taken by surprise when
informed that he had not returned
home. A search was at once instituted
for Barrow and the news that he was
missing spread broadcast. Days
passed, the missing man was not heard
from. and ugly suspicious grew apace.
On Jrly 3, 1890, a man named Boyle. a
former schoolmate of Barrow's, arrived
in Cincinnati and stated that he had
met the latter in Chattanooga, Tenn.
a few days previously. and that the
missing man had assumed the name of
Charles Dumont Scott accompanied
Boyle to the office of notary and had
this statement sworn to. Scott then
visited Mrs. Barrow and her brother.
John Viii iamson, at the farm, and
displayed the sworn statement. Will
hanson stated that he believed Boyle's
statement, but Mrs. Barrow secuted
the idea, and said that Scott had paid
Boyle to swear falsely. Scott then
went TO Chattanooga, and. although
he heard Of Taylor Barrow, or Charles
Dumont the latter had left that city.
Scott then offered $500 reward for the
discovery of the missing man, and
news came repeatedly. He was re-
ported seen at one time at Kansas City,
Mo-. later at Ft Scott, Kan, and in
1893 word came that he had been seen
in Denver, Col. At the time of Bar
rows disappearance he was the Butler
county agent for w. H. Hill OF Cincln-
natl Rumor had connected Barrow's
eynlanatfons. Taylor Barrow had, in
their opinion, been murdered. IN tne
meantime Mrs. Barrow, the suppose"
widow and her only son lived on the
home farm near Sharonville, amply
nrovided for by revenues derived from
nroperty owned by the missing nus
hand and father. The 5-year-old son
grew to a stalwart youth, but no mes
sage ever came from the missing "a
