expecting to be gone but a short time.
He concluded to remain In Danville and
SO informed friends in Iowa. He remained
In Danville until in 1889, when he sud
denly disappeared. Nothing could be found
of him by his relatives and FIVE years later
the court Of Hendricks county, Indiana, adj
Judged him dead and admitted his will to
probate. In this will he disposed OF con-
siderable property and made several be-
quests to Friends colleges. Later 8 trustee
was appointed in Jefferson county, Iowa,
and the court declared Burgess to be dead.
Today the clerk Of the courts In Jefferson
county received a message from an attor-
ney in Muscatine, stating that Isaac w.
Burgess, alias David Baker, was there,
