Rev. Pessell of Zion Evangeli-

Burlington, Dec. 9.-Nothing further
has been heard from Rev. Pessell, pas
tor of Zion Evangelical church In this
city. but 1t Is understood he is with
friends in Quincy, Ill. In the mean
time developments since his myster-
ious disappearance have shed some
light upon the cause of his sudden de-
parture. 1t has resulted in sensation
in German church circles in this city.
Rev Pesseil came to Burlington from
Fort Madison few months ago and
and took up the ministry in Zion
church here. He brought with him his
wife and four lovely little children. He
was successful in his work and grew
very popular with his congregation.
One night last week the pastor at
tended a meeting of the church congre-
CATION. Shortly after his return home
word was received by the members of
the congregation that he had been
stricken with sudden illness and had
fallen down stairs and had seriously

the hospital. Anxious inquiries we're
made at all the hospitals in the city,
but Rev. Mr.. Pessell was in none Of
them. The anxious church members
went to his home but found 1t dark and
the family gone. Doubts were arr
reused by these circumstances, and an
investigation was inaugurated. No
trace of the pastor could be found for
several days.
Meanwhile ugly rumors began to cir
culate, and 1t developed that Rev. Mr..
Pessel's presence was wanted In Fort
Madison on very grave charge pre-
ferred against him by girl IA years
of age. Pessell claims he is innocent
OF the charge, but has placed his res
ignation in the hands of the church
officials here.
