In the latter part Of October last
fall sensational story was reported
from Lawton, in the northwestern
part of this county. in which it was
currently reported that Wm., Shannon,
the hired man Of AL. posey, a farmer
residing near that place, had myster-
lously disappeared and that foul play
was suspected. Shannon had been in
the employ Of Posey all summer, and
on Sunday preceding Thanksgiving
day the two men decided to gog.o the
Minnesota lumber camps fol the win,
ter. They hitched mp a team and
drove to- Lawton that afternoon.
Both of them drank quite freely while
in town and about seven o'clock that
evening they started for the Fosey
home, each one fsirly well under the
influence of liquor. Posey reached
his home about ten o'clock that night
ard upon entering his house Mrs.
Posey asked him where Shannon was
Tin the barn, responded Posey, some-
what nervously, and his peculiar ac-
tions attracted the attention Of Mrs.
Posey. Posey left his dwelling
apartments again to attend to some
unfinished work in the barn and told
his wife before leaving that he had
driven Shannon within nine miles Of
Crary, which distance he was to walk
lin order to catch the train for the
woods. Posey left the following day
for the same destination, and when a
| few weeks later current rumors about
shannon $ mysterious disappearance
| were communicated to him BY his
wife, and the information SO conveyed
implicated him IN the shropded affair.
Posey at once returned to his home
and putting on a bold front presented
himself to the county officers for vim
ldication. He adhered to the stor, Y
which was orroborated By his wife,
that he had driven Shannon within
nine miles Of Crary and then returned

This theory was accepted by some
Of the Lawton people. while others
we're determined that an Investigation
should follow. Upon the latter,
States Attorney Anderson and Sheriff
lRutten repaired to the scene but fail
led after two days investigation to
find anything that would bear out the
foul play theory. The matter was
ltnen temporarily dropped and Posey
iwent about his calling apparently
cleared Of most serious crime, and
returned to the Minnesota woods.
But murder will out, is an old
and antiquated saying and this inci-
ldent is no exception to the ruis.

ed for that purpose by Sheriff Rutten
