MAN AND MONEY GONE.
A Neighbours Wife Disappears at the
Same Time.

Randolph. NY. August 14.-Social
circles in East Randolph are, excited
over the disappearance of Clair Helms
and Mrs. Frank Walker. The couple
have been absent two weeks, but the
story of their disappearance has been
so carefully guarded that it is now
made public for the first time.
Clair Helms is about thirty years
president of the village and for many
years a town assessor. Clair mas been
once married and has one child a
couple os weeks ago Mr.. Helms father
went to Salamanca to attend u meet
ing of town assessors, leaving nearly
$500 at home for safekeeping.
On his return the money was missing
and inquiry developed the fact that his
son had gone to jamestown On the
same train that brought the father
from Salamanca. Proceeding to James
town Mr.. Helms consulted the police,
who soon learned that Clair had taken
a boat to Mayville and gone thence to
Buffalo. on the same night Mrs. Walk
er is said to have received a message
from Buffalo calling her to that city.
On the following day Mrs. Walker
sent her two oldest children to her
mother at Friendship and taking her
youngest child a girl of three or four
years, left the village for parts I'M
known. She is said to have with her
besides her wardrobe, a sum of money,
her husbands gold watch and u re-
Volver.
Frank Walker is an operator il the
Pennsylvania oil fields and spends most
of his time away from home. 4 few
days after his Wifes departure he ar
rived here, bringing with him his chill
dren from Friendship. Finding his
wife gone he made Il quiet i1vcstiga
ton ana after convincing himself that
she had deserted her home for another
he philosophically placed the children
in charge of his mother and returned
to his work.
Tho growing intimacy between young
Helms and MS. Walker. who is Il N'o-
man Of thirty-live, had been u subject
Of comment about the village for some
time. Mr. Walker has been once di-
vorccd and friends of the wife allcge
that she is not altogether to blame for
going. although none cure to specify
in what respect she has cause to COM
plain.
1t is believed that Helms and Mrs
Walker are at present in Canada, as
the former has friends and acQuain-
tances in the ncighborhood of London,
where he worked at one ,time. Mrs.
Walkers maiden name was Benjamin
and she formerly lived at Friendship.

Referring to the Irish land bill the
speech saws it offers inducements to the
land owners to continue their residence

Reference is made in the speech to
the general anxiety regarding the sit
