Edward WeIIinghoff, Who Disappeared
July 19, in Chicago, is Unable to
Explain Movements.

Elgin, ILL.,, Aug. 16.-Edward yelling
hoff, whose mysterious disappearance
on July 19 caused a sensation here
and set private detectives and the To-
cal police searching. has been found
in Chicago and will return to this
city.
Wellington left the city without
informing his friends or fellow Elks,
of which lodge he is exalted ruler, and
it was feared he had met with foul
play. The Elks Immediately subscrib-
ed a fund with which to institute
search for the missing man, and his
relatives made numerous trips to var
ious parts of the country on false
clews.
w. w. Sherwin, proprietor of the
company of which Wellington had
been manager, examined his books and
believed he had discovered shortages.
Saturday he held a conference with
Wellington in Chicago, and the sup
posed defalcation was explained salts
factoriiy.
Wellington, it is understood, is un-
able to account for his actions. He
believes that he has been at Mount
Clemens, Mich. but is unable to state
accurately his movements during the
last month.
