ExCITES A CITY.
Thought to Have Been Robbed and
Murdered.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., July ia
genuine sensation has been caused by
the sudden and unexpected return to
his home in this city of F. D. Mills a
Sioux Falls contractor, VINO mysteri-
ously disappeared in Kansas City last
April under circumstances which led
the authorities of the Missouri town
to believe he had been robbed and
murdered.
Relatives of Mills declare that he ap-
pears dazed and not able to give any
intelligent account of his wanderings
since his disappearance last April. In
some quarters it is limited that a tenn
porary financial embarrassment caused
Mills to keep in hiding for a time, or
until his business affairs had been
Strengthened out.
At the time of mis- disappearance
Mills was on his way to a point in
New Mexico for the purpose of closing
the business in connection with the
construction of some government In
dian school buildings. Recently a To-
cal business man, who had been as
ISOLATED with him in the government
contract in New Mexico, learned that
he was in Portland, Ore. He left for
that city for the purpose of finding him
but before his arrival Mills had left for
Sioux Falls.

Fatal Fall of F. w. Houston.

In attempting to ascend steps lead
ing to the front veranda of the home
of his son-in-law, Mr. Joseph Rion, on
Second street, Mr. Franklin w Hous-
ton, one of Bourbon's oldest and most
highly respected citizens fell, striking
his head against the stone foundation,
sustaining injuries from which he died
at 1 80 O'Clock Sunday morning. Mr..
Houston was the youngest child of a
family of nine children. His father,
Samuel Houston, was born March 8,
1871, near Cane Ridge, this county,
and was the son Of Peter Houston, one
of the early pioneers of Bourbon and
a soldier of the Revolutionary war
Mr. Houston was born September
%, 1918, and resided all his life at the
old homestead, near Cane Ridge. He
was highly educated, a speaker of con-
siderable ability, a deep thinker, and
an accomplished writer. His contri-
buttons which frequently appeared in
the local press, were upon a variety
of subjects, and were much sought
after by those acquainted with his
talents and abilities. In the early
forties Mr.. Houston advocated the
macadamizing of the public roads, and
contributed literally for that purpose.
The last work of Mr.. Houston's life
was to write an obituary of Mr.. Jno.
D. Hearne, the Cincinnati banker,
who died Friday, he having been
born near his old home, and mailed
1 it to one of the Cincinnati papers.
Mr.. Houston for nearly half cen
fury took an active part in politics.
Belonging to family of uncompro-
missing emancipationists, he was an
old line Wing, and later identified
with the Republican party. He was
a friend of the common schools of the
county and for many years taught the
children of his immediate neighbor-
hood. He was consistent member
of the Christian church, his father,
Samuel Houston being a co-laborer of
Barton w. Stone, the great reformer,
and assisted him in the building of the
famous log church, still standing at
Cane Ridge and where in 1901, a great
revival took place.
Mr.. Houston is survived by eight
children: Mrs. Mamie M. Boone, of
Bedford, Ind French w. Houston,
of Lonoke, Ark. Mrs. Laura E. Craig,
of Vevay, Ind; Richard M. Houston,
of Humboldt, Kan; Joseph D. Hous-
ton, prominent attorney of Winfield,
Kan. and Mrs. Fannie L. Stone, Mrs.
Joseph M. Rion and Jefferson Hous-
ton, all of this county. The funeral
will take place to-day at the residence
of Mr.. Rion at o. clock, conducted by
Elder ]. S. Sweeney. Burial at North
