field, Thursday night, arrived in
wheeling this morning at about seven
o'clock after one of the hardest trips
II would have been possible to make
in this section of the country. The
party had been up all night and they
were tired looking set when they ar
rived here. Chief Clemans told of his
trip after the young man who was sup
posed to have been dead and buried,
as follows:
All Night Search.
II left here and with Charles
Adams Of the gas office, who formerly
played ball with Bishop, went to Bril-
liant, Mingo and then TO steubenville'
We searched all three Of those towns
and during the afternoon got word
from Lieutenant Hastings that a let
ter had been received here by Charles
DIETRICH, a driver for Asmus, in which
the statement was made that BishoNI
was at Rodgersville, Ohio. We had
quite a time locating that towa butt
finally found out it was the name OF
the postofice at Plum Run, whore theI
United States Coal Company's mines
are located. at once ordered link
Gilman and Kelley to come to Warren
ton and on meeting them there we got
an express wagon and team and start
ed for Plum Run. 1t was one OF tn"
worst drives I have ever taken. The
mud was bad and 1t WINS dark aud cold
every little while we were com
PEELED to inquire the way and did moi
arrive at Plum Run until late in the
night. We aroused Manager Carter
Of the company store and he Told nSl
where we would find Bishop. He also
said the man we were after was
afraid of being arrested and would
run il he saw us. We went toI
the home of the Cousins, where Bish
op was staying, and found him in bed
After assuring him he would not bel
molested he consented TO come to-
Wheeling and we started back, max
ing the drive to Warrenton, crossing
the river to Short Creek and taking
the car for Wheeling.
Reason for Mistake.
qThere is every reason why the
relatives Of the young man could have
been mistaken in their Identification
Of the body Of the dead man they
buried as their son."
Chief Clemans has no idea whom
the dead man may be, but stated that
he believed the story told by Smith,
the man who talked with him in the
park to the effect that he was from
the east. The chief is also of the
opinion that the dead man was d.
,,,artad and no evidence of this DOirts
