Carl A. Young, who disappeared from
Tracy, has been found in this city. For
two weeks or more he has been going
under the assumed name of A. G. Case,
giving his home as Omaha. The Free
Press yesterday told how Young came
to the city on the morning of Nov. lst,
got room at the Stahl House, register
ing under his right name, and how he
left the hotel in the forenoon by the side
door, after getting a glimpse of Postof-
flee Inspector Smith, who was sitting in
the office at the time, waiting for him
to come down from his room.
Passed as A. G. Case.
Young showed up at the City hotel
on the afternoon of the same day and
registered under the name of "a G.
Case, Omaha" He went to his room.
after informing the clerk that he did
not desire any supper and not to call
him if he did not come down. For the
next thirteen days Young remained
there in bed, being served with his meals
by Clerk f. S. Krauss. He continued
to conceal his identity for some reason.
While at the City hotel, Young was
very sick with stomach trouble, being
able to eat little or nothing, yet he re-
fused to have a physician. Finally he
became so bad that Mr.. Krauss told
him that he had fears for his life and
that if he had relatives he had better
send for them. He finally said that he
was an Odd Fellow and consented that
the local lodge No. Is be notified, which
Mr.. Krauss did.
On Monday of this week, Young was
removed under the direction of the lodge
and by the advice of local physician
who had been summoned by the lodge, to
the home of Mrs. A. A. Brooks on State
street, where he still remains, receiving
treatment for his trouble, which now
seems to be yielding slightly to treat
ment.
From Young's lodge papers it was
learned what his true name was, and
relatives at Tracy were notified. His
brother in-law arrived Tuesday, and
yesterday his wife came and will remain
with him until he RECEIVERS.
Mind Was a Blank.
Young's explanation of his somewhat
mysterious actions was that when he
arrived in Mankato early on the morn
ing of Nov. LIST he was sick. He went to
his room in the Stahl House, but after
that his mind is blank until he awoke
to find himself in the City hotel. He
had no recollection of leaving the Stah'
House or of seeing Postoffice Inspector
Smith in the office, or of going to the
City hotel, or of registering under the
name of A. G. Chase at the latter place
When asked in regard to his financia;
affairs at Tracy, Young stated that they
are all in correct shape. As regards
people inquiring for him at the Stahl
House since his disappearance, he said
that they were persons connected with
the postal service, as he had left his
run unprovided for, owing to his illness
A travelling man who was in Tracy
within the last two or three days was
informed there that Young's accounts
are in excellent shape, and not behind
1t was thought there that he was out
of his head, as he was believed to have
tendency in that direction.
Rockford Detective Arrives.
H. F. Chandler of Rockford, ILL.,, de.
tective, arrived in the city this morn
ing on business connected with Young
He visited the hotels where Young had
stopped He spoke of Young's record
and remarked that the man had been 10.
Gated finally, but did not say what he
wanted with him.
Chief Donahue has been aware of the
presence in the city of Young, under the
name of Case, but did not know his
true name. Owing to his mysterious ac
tons, he has had suspicious that he
might have been connected with the
New Ulm affair, but no evidence ever
developed to substantiate this.
What Mrs. Young Says.
"When l last saw Mr.. Young at
Tracy" said Mrs. Young to a Free Press
representative this morning, 81 think it
was on the twenty fourth or twenty
fifth of October. He did not seem at all
sick then only he was very nervous. He
clearly had too much business on his
