had gone with Joynes.
Descriptions were sent to all OF the
chief cities. and Detective West here was
employed to locate the runaways. The
uncle, n. B. Joynes. was anxious 10 nave
the nephew return to his wife. and mott
fled the newspapers that he would not
prosecute the young man.
Mr.. Joynes and an officer went to Chi
cago and returned home this morning.
But they do not tell what became of
young Joynes.
One report Is that he returned all or
part of the way and is now in easy reach,
but as his uncle does not wish to pros
ecute, but to save him, the young man is
not to appear in public for a while. The
same rumor says that when released
from the station-house in Chicago the
uncle got all Of the money Joynes had, or
$3.50, and took charge Of him too.
Meanwhile Lambert, the herb doctor.

Of wealth. has not been found, although
the detectives are still looking for him,
with the hope of convicting him of hay-
ing the baneful influence of hypnotism on
the younger man.

a saloon on Main Street at Yoxleys Lane.
and who was charged with having his
