APPEL WILL
 LOOK TOR FAIRFAX

w. M. Appel of San Francisco ar rived in the city yesterday, and will make a thorough investigation of the disappearance of F. NJ. Farrar, who was last seen in this city on the sixth of this month
 MT. Appel has traced the missing and is informed of his movements up to the time he was last seen here.
 'Farar's accounts are all straight, " said MT. Appel last night, and the search l am making is in his inter- ests. The company with which he is connected is anxious about his coz dition. cant account for Farrar's disappearance"
 Arthur Pritchard who came in yes terday from Fort Huachuca brings in formation that may throw some light on the affair. He says:
 About eight days ago a man came to a ranch near Huachuca siding. and asked for something to eat. He acted very strangely, and the cowboys thought he was not in his right mind The man went to bed, and about 5 o'clock in the morning got up and ran out of the house.
 One of the cowboys saddled horse and tried to catch the man, but could not find him. When he left he had no clothes on, and must have been out of his head. The description of the man is the same as that I have heard in Bisbee.
 They asked the man at the ranch several questions, but all they could get from him was the words Santa Monica As far as I know, nothing more has been heard of him, though the officers were told about what had taken place"
 When asked what bearing this might have upon the disappearance, Mir. Appel said that it was not unlikely that the man seen at the ranch was Farrar. He will go to Huachuca this morning to gather more particulars. If the clothes left at the ranch by the man when he ran out of the house are still there, they will prove valuable in the effort to find Farrar.
 Yesterday afternoon the grips left by Farrar at the Copper Queen were opened, but they contained nothing that might indicate what his intentions were when he last packed the grips.
 In reply to another question, Mir Appel said:
 "Farrar is a single man and there is no woman in the case. He gam bled some in Tucson and Bisbee Tn the first place he quit winner, though I am positive that when he left Bisbee he had no money. Farrar's gambling is something unusual. have never known him to even take a drink"
 John Bowman, a lookout in the Orient, says that on the fifth of this month, a man answering Farrar's de scription, spent a good part of the night gambling He did not win.
 Outside of the theory that Farrar suddenly became mentally unbalanced and tramped across the hills ana plains to the ranch, which is about twenty-five miles from here, there is no clew to his whereabouts No one can be found who saw him leave the city on the sixth.
 Farrar is described as a man about 5 feet inches tall, is middle aged. and weighs about TO pounds. He has dark hair, eyes and moustache, and his head is slightly bald. His lower teeth are false. The plainest mark of identification is a scar on his left jaw.
 Farrar was employed by the Copper Queen company in this city about ten years ago. He has two brothers ia New Orleans, both well known, and his home is there.
 Mir. Appel said last night that on his return from Huachuca, he might be able to give out some additional in formation that would help to clear uy what now appears to be a mystery
