submarine plunged twice successfully,

she finally disappeared. This leads
to the belief that the catastrophe re-
suited from a sudden leak at the
stern. The water probably rushed in

Home Unless Molested, IL is Feared
Something Serious Happened.
Elgin, Neb., Oct. 1S.-Special to The
News Elgin and the entire country
side for miles around are in state
of intense excitement today because
of the mysterious disappearance from
home of August McClintock, a young
man twenty years of age, whose pa
rents live on a farm four miles north
west of this place.
Started For Home.
Young McClintock left home at 7
O'Clock Tuesday night, riding horse,
and rode a mile and a half to the
home of neighbor. He spent the
evening at the neighbours home and
left at o'clock, to return to his own
farm. He has not been seen since,
The horse, which was raised on the
farm, has not come back home as it
would naturally do if 1t were rider
less. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the boy would have come
straight home if nothing had happened
to him. The natural supposition is
that the young man must have met
with foul play.
Horse Seen, Strange Rider. .
The foul play theory is strength
ened by the fact that farmer from
this vicinity, who was west of Clear
water yesterday morning and who
knew nothing of the disappearance of
the boy, met a man riding horse
which he at once thought he reccg-
nized as the horse in question belong
ing to the McClintocks. He returned
to Elgin and asked the McClintock' S
if their black horse was gone. He
said that he was positive this was the
animal. A strange man was riding
the horse-a heavy set man, with a
saddle on the horse, though the boy
had no saddle.
Searched All Day Yesterday.
Farmers and citizens of this vicin-
tty, when they learned yesterday OF
the non-arrival home of the McClin-
took boy, began thorough search
and kept 1t up all day long yesterday
and last night. Every nook and cor
ner of the country has been secured,
but without avail -, .....,..
Telephone wires have been used In
every direction, but no, trace OF the
missing youth has been found.
The boy, when he left home, was
dressed in a suit Of oyeralls. He had
no money with him. He was riding
q black horse. ,.r- a..f D.. ,..s .. .
No Trouble at Home. a,
There is no reason to believe that
the young man would leave home vol
unfairly, and there is every reason to
believe he would have returned
straight home if he had not been mo-
Tested. He had had no trouble of any
kind at home, and his relations were
exceedingly pleasant and amicable
with all of the family and farmhands
The man who was seen riding the
black horse west of Clearwater was
dressed in black. He was riding in
a heavy saddle and with heavy bri
die
The horse had never been away from
the farm for any length of time and
it is therefore believed that, If the
boy had been thrown and left the an
imal riderless, it would have returned
10 the farm.
