THE LAST DAY OF AUTUMN.

THE LAST DAY OF AUTUMN.
Like a spirit gloriied.
The angel Of the year departs. lays down
HIS robes once green in spring,
Or bright with summers blue:
And having done his mission the earth.
Filling ten thousand wales with golden corn,
Orchards with rosy fruit.
And scattering flowers around,
He fingers for a moment in the west,
While the declining sun sheds over all
a pleasant farewell smile,
And so returns To God.
From the German.

SAYS GIRL LIVES
Fred Els Replies to Accusations
Connecting Him With Nellie
Knox's Disappearance e.
DRIVEN AWAY THROUGH FEAR
Claims Her Home Life Was Tn
pleasant-Biames Her Step
Mother.

Nellie Knox, who mysteriously dis
appeared from her home in 1886, and
believed to have been victim of foul
play, still lives. according to Fred
ELS, who recently returned to the city
after an absence of several years.
The public is familiar with the
story Of Nellie Knox-the money that
was spent by her grandfather, the
late {. b. Knox, in a fruitless effort to
get some trace of her. Nothing was
heard or seen of her after the night
She babe her family good night and
started for her room to retire in her
home at the northeast corner of Sew
enteenth street and Fifth-and-a-half
avenue. in the house now occupied by
the family of Capt. George Lamont.
1t will be recalled that while eXca-
waiting for foundation for a house in
the vicinity of Twenty-frst street and
Tenth avenue in 1897 human bones
were unearthed The remains of a
woman's hat were also found. The
find reopened public discussion of the
case and more firmly convinced the
relatives and friends of the girl that
she was murdered and her body bur
led in what was Il pasture at the time
of her disappearance.
1t has always been the opinion Of
the relatives of Nellie Knox that Fred
ELS knew more about the case than
he would tell. but they have long since
abandoned hope of ever securing any
positive information as to her fate.
Driven Away by Fear.
There is only one person who
knows where Nellie Knox went" said
Els to an Argus reporter, land that
is her step-mother. the second wife of
Nellie'S father, Samuel Knox. She now
resides in Colorado. She has made
the same charge against me, but when
she made such statements she knew
he was uttering what were not
truths. The last time the case was
aired the insinuations against me were
renewed. but | was II another state
and not in position to defend myself.
However. l have never run away to
escape them. and | am here now pre-
pared to meet any charges they may
feel disposed to make against me. l
knew Nellie Knox as little girl. She
was Is years CT age when she dropped
out of sight. / well remember the
night Mr.. and Mrs. Knox and some
others were playing cards. About 81
o'clock Nellie said good night to all
and started up stairs for her room.
That is the last they saw of her, they
say. There was a buggy in waiting
in the alley back of the house.
Locked In House for a Week.
Nellie voluntarily entered that con-
and was driven to a certain
house in Rock Island, where she re-
manned secreted for week. l am
now stating facts. Where she went

went to a Colorado mining town. Mel
lie was driven. from home through
fear. Sire knew things the telling of
which might disrupt her family.
1.-Two years afterward Mr.. and Mrs
Knox went west. They have since
been divorced and Mrs. Knox has re-
married. / am telling what l know.

AUGUST LUETH TAKEN
BY DAVENPORT POLICE

August Lueth, the young man who
is charged with the attempted kid

ment in the county jail at that place
a week ago. was captured in Dayen-
port last evening by Officer hartman
and Detective Mundt. while wander
ing aimlessly down the streets weak
from want of food and loss of sleep
since his escape from Jail. He was
unable to speak English except to
answer affirmatively TO query as to
whether or not he was August Lueth.
but when asked at the station in Ger
man as to his identity and his where
abouts since escaping from imprison-
ment at Upton. he made no attempt
at Withholding any information de
sired by the police. He was given a
quantity of food. which he devoured
@reedily. From his conversation. il
appeared that no attempt had been
made by him to evade arrest. although
there are numerous posses on his trail
seeking to effect his arrest Accord
ing to his story he had been in Daven-
port about two days. during which
time he had neither slept nor eaten.
sLueth was engaged at the county
Jail in Upton in bringing wood into
the Jail building in wheelbarrow.
when opportunity offering he made a
dash through the open door for the
open country and was soon lost to
view. This happened in the evening.
after dusk, making the pursuit very
difficult. 1t is the prevailing opinion
that he is not sane. His actions indi-
cate that he is mentally unbalanced.
