and comfortably situated at the home
of his parents, Avenue D and Fifth
street this city. Nevertheless. he was
near enough TO the great divide to re-
alize better than most persons what
death means.
The first seen of him after his
strange disappearance last Thursday
was when John Heyner. an engineer
employed by Roberts 4 Mack, at their
camp east of town, found him lying
nesday afternoon. Heyner was walking
toward the camp after a visit in town.
and saw Ames lying face downward
with his mead about eighteen inches
from the track. He was breathing
family. but in a deadly stupor
After some difficulty Ames was
aroused, and. though pitifully weak
from exposure. was able to talk. He
said that the last recollection he had

was that man entered his cider store
and broke a glass. \ man from Cos
mopolis entered the store about 10: 80
o'clock Wednesday evening. the night
before he disappeared, and in a
friendly tussle over the only glass of
cider of that days make broke the
glass.
Ames says the next thing he re-

struck out for home. falling by the

He does not know how he got in the
car. how long he was there, if he ate
gone. or. in fact. a single thing after
the glass broke. He does know that
his money was taken from him. His
mother saw him have four $40 gold
pieces, which are not accounted for.

whisky of which ne drank so much
that it made him sick. and to this fact,
his life is due.
