BASS FRAZIER LOCATED.
After Years of Mystery News Comes
of Former Tech Student.

After Years of Mystery News Comes
of Former Tech Student.
Atlanta, Jan. 21.-After three years
of mystery and unexplained absence
Bass Frazier, the former Tech student
from Union Springs, Ala, has been To-
Gated.
Young Frazier is a corporal in the
Twenty-sixth United States infantry
stationed at Fort RingOld, Tex. His
family has known of his whereabouts
since last July and while they have
made no secret of their knowledge.
only few OF their friends knew the
facts until day or two ago.
Young Frazier, then a student at
the Tech, disappeared from Atlanta in
January, 1901. just four years ago.
The peculiar circumstances leading up
to the disappearance caused the wide
spread impression that he had been
kidnapped and foully dealt with. Search
ing parties were organized, rewards
were offered and the brothers of young
Frazier came to Atlanta TO assist in
the prosecution of the search.
IL now develops that while the
search was under way young Frazier
was in San Francisco and later in the
Philippines in the ranks of the Tween
ty-sixth infantry under the name of
J. Z. Williams.
The following telegram from Union
Springs, Ala, Tells OF Frazier's dis
appearance:
Union Springs. Ala. Jan. 19.-Bass
Frazier, the young man OF this city
who disappeared from Atlanta in jan
uary, 1901. and was believed to have
been kidnapped, is in the United States
army.
On Jan. 8, 1901, Frazier left Atlanta
and went direct to Denver, where he
enlisted in the Twenty-sixth infantry.
Frazier then removed to San Fran
cisco and embarked for the Philip
pines, where he served two and . half
years. He was engaged in some Of
the hottest fights or the campaign
and acquitted himself excellently.
Last July he was returned to Fort
Rngold. Tex, and has since commu-
nicated with his people here.
He had enlisted under the name of
]. F. Williams. Until then he was I'M

re-enlist instead of coming home. |
This he did on the 9th instant and
was Immediately appointed corporal, |
with fiattering prospects of early pro.
motion. He is now enlisted in his |
own name. On account OF the good |
standing Of his family his disappear.

him. All this while the facts of his |

Trains on the road were crowded.
