SANUAS' STRANGE CASE GARNER BELIEVED DEAD.
MAN WHO THOUGHT MONKEYS

LEGATIONS on That Subject-Was
Stricken With Jungle Fever.

BOSTON, January 12.-Friends of
Professor Robert l.. Garner, the famous
explorer, scientist and author, are an
xiOus over his possible fate in the wlds
of Africa Grave fears as to the pos
sibility of his death are entertained.
Among those concerned over the pro-
fessur are the Rev. H.. H. Hale, Pro-
fessor Putnam of Harvard Professor
Furber and S. A. Merrill of the Mecha-
MICS National Bank.
Professor Garner called from New
York about July 10, 1900, en- route to
Africa. His avowed object was to
make further study Of the monkey Ian
BuaBe, and the Interest and appTOba-
ton of many eminent scholars and
scientists, including the four men above
mentioned We're enlisted I'm his object.
on August LIST he arrived i'm Lisbon,
where he remained until the 21st, maxi
ing fun preparations and gathering
equipments for his intended expedition.
ON August 2iSt Professor Garner left
Lisbon, arriving in the first week Of
September in san Thorme, in the
French Congo.
While I'm this place, on the eve Of his
departure for the interior, he suddenly
was stricken with jungle fever al
though his two previous expeditions to
the same place had, in his own judg-
mont made him immune The eXorbi-
tant rates levied upon him for trans
portation and the money already laid
out upon his really Inadequate equip
mcnt, had by this time made him al
most pcnniless and when his funds en-
tlrely failed his faithlcss hrelings fed
. leaving him to fight the grim speCter
alone.
ON November 9th he wrote urgent
letter to Messrs. Hale, Putnam, Furber
and Merrill, apprising them of his ex-
haustcd financial and physical condi-
/ ton and urging that aid be Immediate
~ sent to him. These were the last
messages from him and none of the let
ters were received until the last of
December Efforts at once were made
to cable money to him. but cable COM
munication could not be had with any
bank in the vicinity Of the place from
where the letters had been posted. All
efforts 10 locate him also failed. on
last Tuesday $. a. Merrill of the Me-
chdniCs' National Bank, was informed
mat All efforts to communicate with
Garner had proven futile Mr.. Merrill
then sent q cable to San Thorme in the
hope Of discovering Gamers where
abouts. No reply to this message has
been received. Messages sent yester-
day also have failed to elicit any res
pOus" and Mr. Merrill who has been
one Of the most sanguine, at last has
given W all hopes.
