Denver Man
! May be Lost
1T is THOUGHT THAT HE TOOK A
CONSIDERABLE SUM OF MON
Ely INTO THE MOUNTAINS.
His Friends are Worried About Him,
But it is Possible that He Will Turn
Up Safe and Sound

Among the relatives and friends OF
William Hagart, of Denver. much I'M
easiness is felt, because that gentle
mans whereabouts are unknown to
them and his disappearance is some
what mysterious.
William Hagart is a wealthy mining
man and owns considerable stock in
mines of the Cripple Creek district. He
came to FL Paso on the 14th of last
December and put up at a hotel, where
he remained until the Goth of the same
month. On that day he left over the
Sierra Madre line with the intention
of spending about thirty days in the
mountains hunting and prospecting.
He is supposed to have left accompan-
led by Mexican guide. as he told the
hotel keeper that he had engaged such
a person to go with him.
No person who knows for certain
about the guide going with him can be
found. The fact that the guide is sup
posed to have accompanied him makes
the relatives of the absent man more
uneasy He was advised before he left
Ell Paso to be very careful about the
selection of guide. but he laughed and
said that nobody knew he had any
money. He went plainly dressed in
order to prevent any one from suS-
pecting that he had money. 1t is not
known that he took any with him, but
the fact that he was wealthy may have
leaked out and it would have been
natural for the thought that he had
money with him to exist
While he was stopping in Ell Paso a
Herald reporter had an interview with
him. which was published in this pa

More About
the Case of
May. Stevens

News reached the city last night too
late for publication in The Herald
that the same Ell Paso peace officer
who went to Kentucky a week ago to
get an alleged fugitive from justice.
had left Danville, Indiana, for home
with little May Charlotte Stevens the
child who is said to have been kid
mapped from this city, nine years ago.
There are no new developments in
the noted case today except that fur
| Their details have been received from
indianapolis. A dispatch from there
states that the little Stevens girl was
found in the Hadley industrial school
near Danville and when the Ell Paso
peace officer arrived he went there ac-
companied by two detectives.
The telegram from Indianapolis
reaching Ell Paso last night says:
The case is one of the most remark
able that has come to the attention
OF the police in years. The child was
discovered in the school by an Indian
apolis woman who visited the place.
BY chance she asked the child concern
ing her past life. and the little girl
told a disconnected story about being
taken away from her home The In
annapolis woman took an interest in
the case and wrote to the authorities
in Texas for particulars. Why the

actress. Four years ago the child was /;
taken in charge by Miss Brazier of La

fact that the little one had a home and |
short time later she was placed in |
the industrial school.
THE police were told that the father
of the child had died since the kid

The disclosures made in yesterdays
Herald concerning the finding of the
little kidnapped girl after the lapse of
so many years created a tremendous
in this city. If any officer
here knew that the child had been
found they had from unknown motives
kept their secret well guarded.
The Herald has other means of gath
ering news than from non-communica-
tive officials.

CZOLGOSZ, BODY.

NEW YORK, October 3l.--If the body
of Leon Czolgosz were eXhumed tomor-
row it would be found well preserved
in a plaster of paris cast instead of
having been dissolved and disintegrated
by the action Of the quicklime and vi
| triol with which it was covered when
inferred in the prison burial lot at Au-
burn. 1t had been determined by War
den Mead and superintendent Corne
Illus Collins to destroy the body so that
no trace of the assassin should remain
as a possible incentive to relic hunters.
When the body was inferred a layer of
quicklime had already been placed in
the grave. On this the coffin, the lid
of which had been removed was laid
and the body was then covered with
two barrels of quicklime. over this
carboy of vitriol or sulphuric acid was
poured two more barrels of quicklime
was thrown in, and over all earth was
shoveled until the grave was filled.
1t was anticipated that as a result
of the action of the sulphuric acid and
quicklime the body would be dissolved
within twelve hours, but it is improb-
able that this has been the case. When
quicklime and sulphuric acid are COM
bined the chemical result is plaster of
paris and water TT is entirely prob
able that Czolgosz' body is inclosed in

Charles F.. Chandler of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons and of the
University of New York tonight. 'Plas-
ter of paris would result from the COM
bination of sulphuric acid and quick
