TO THROW LIGHT UPON THE SUBJECT

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Rev. Elwood o. Ellis,
pastor of the South Eighth street
Friends church, still deepens, and
there is no more definite information
today than we gave yesterday. The
family and friends of the popular
minister are hoping against hope that
he will turn up all right, and that
fears now entertained will be allayed.
The police force. the friends. the rel
atlVes. are all searching every nook
and corner for some trace of the miss
ing minister.
Rivers and ponds are being dredged
fearing that the mind of Rev. Ellis
had become deranged and that prob
ably in a demented moment he might
have taken his life. These are only
theories, but in the present state of
excitement everything possible is be-
ing done to find any clue to his
whereabouts.
Only last week Mr.. B. johnson and
Mr.. E. G. Hill called on Mr.. Ellis
to arrange for his vacation. They
wanted to select a suitable place for
him to rest and recreate, but he did
not seem to want to 60. He made the
excuse that the weather was cool here
and he believed he wouldn't 90. The
gentlemen thought it very strange for
Mr.. Ellis to decline this offer, but
made no comments upon it.
Timothy Nicholson was seen and
! he deplores the whole affair very
much. He was always IN close touch
with Mr.. Ellis and had never noticed
anything strange about his actions,
except that he was somewhat nervous
at the last interview he had with
him. They were together on Satur-
day at the Dickinson Trust company
clipping bond coupons for Earlham
and he noticed nothing unusual in his
actions.
Paul Ross says that last Wednes-
day afternoon he saw Rev. Ellis 60
ing down South Eight street. He
SAID he cOulQ Oe mistaken IN the Qay
but he thought it was Wednesday.
! Will Holly, the Eighth street bar
Der. said he saw him on Tuesday aft
ernoon passing his house on South
Eighth street. He is positive of this.
There WAS a rumor about town that
several persons saw him @oine east
on Main street Tuesday afternoon
on his bicycle This report is denied
by the family as his bicycle is at
home. He hasn't used his wheel for
some time, the family say.
Mr.. Ellis's mother arrived from the
East early this morning and is as
sisting the family in their search for
the missing minister.
Mrs. Ellis was seen by Palladium
representative and she is all broken
up over the affair. In fact she has
had fears for some time that Mr.. Ellis
would lose his mind. because he had
not acted like himself.

of Richmond railroad men. Despite
the numerous publications Of this
same deal and the numerous denials
of it by Christy and Bradford, the

and it only waited to ascertain the
name of the purchaser. The c., c. &
L. has been for sale in private way
for long time and the c., H. & D.

as soon as the proper connections,
etc, are made tickets will be pur-
