Fresno, Cal, Aug. S.-Rev. A. L
Patt, until a few weeks ago pastor
of the Christian church, at Selma, mas
disappeared and so has Mrs. Allie
Johnson, a come'y widow, who was a
member of his congregation, and his
conduct is now being looked into by
the state board of directors.
Rev. Mr.. Platt went to Selma with
his wife about year ago from Nc.
Minnville, Or. Not long after arriving
there he met Mrs. Johnson, woman
of much beauty. Their acquaintance
soon ripened into friendship that grew
stronger and stronger until at last gos-
sip concerning the two became so
prevalent that Platt resigned his pas
torate and moved to Santa Cruz.
Mrs. Johnson visited in Santa Cruz
soon after Rev. Platt left on the
train to accompany her to San Fran
cisco. July 25, and that is the last
heard of either of them.
