cottage Sunday morning.
Possessed of Property.
The story OF Harden's Disappearance
is far different from those of nine cases
out of ten reported to the authori-
ties de and Mrs Harden have been
married three and One-half years. He
Sc~iA4c AclG from NeDraSka SIX years
ago he has some property and a lit
tie money. This he had saved during
years or toll as blacksmith and later
from conducting a cigar factory He
and his wife were on the best Of terms.
He was cheerful and planning ahead
when he went to bed Saturday night
Do you want to so out to Saltair

The animal he intended to buy be
longs TO John Brown. who lives at
IWelfth South and First West streets
Richard Amos had made the deal with
Harden Saturday afternoon. and Har-
oen was 10 go and see Amos at the
IaUUeTS home. 55S East Eleventh South
street he rose at 4-3O O'CLOCK Sunday
morning and started thfther. He took
with him $40. which he got from his
VIE just before he left the house
III get the COW in the cool of the
morning, he said: and then III be
back IN time to 90 to Saltair with
Never Seen Again.
That was the last seen of him. Amos
did not set up until 10 o'clock sun
day morning. Harden had not come
TO his home
This is all that has come I'D save
a great many facts obtained bv the
officers, all 10 the effect that Harden
was man of regular habits haDDv
disposition and had gotten along Wen
at home.
The route between Harden-s home
and the Amos home as well as the
path between Harden's and the Brown
place, have been traVersad many times
by detectives and deputy sheriffs
Mounted officers rode all through the
southwestern part of town YESTERDAY
None OF them got any trace of the
missing man.
No Light Vet Found.
Many instances are known where
men have thus vanished and have
turned UP later, victims of temporary
mental alteration, or worrying from
domestic difficulties. In other instan-
ces their bodies have been found In
the case of Harden careful search has
gained no trace of violence, and re-
search has brought no information as
to mental trouble or domestic worry.
And so the police are in the midst
of what they confess is the deepest
mystery of many months And Mrs
HArden is calm, for she believes the
medium told her rightly in saying that
her husband is alive and unhurt.
