RRY SVvIGER, DEAD, COMES BACK TO Ii
Thought to Have Been Buried in
Cemetery Here, Young
Soldier is Alive.
rs a THR ARAIY ~ oURA
And Veil Of Mystery Enshrouds
Body Wrapped in Robes


Harry swiger. mourned as dead,
IS among the living. but not the
.resurrected. though, it seems like a
vision to hear of hfsS being alive.
All that was mortal OF Harry
swiger was supposed to have been
laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery
/ here. where the sod has grown over
the grave since the last rites, hut
wondrous are the ways of God and
man. and, now comes the message
that he has not been dead al all,
though earth to earth, dust to dust
and ashes to ashes he was presum-
ably consigned. and not until the
Great Day, when the grave gives up
its dead, may 1t be known whose
mortal clay was placed in that sepuI-
chre. but assuredly not that of Harry
Swiger. unless his ghost has wrap
ped the shroud around the inanimate
form and walked forth to do hattie
again for the country as Harry did
before body identified at that of
Howard s. Smith by relative was
/
then discovered not to be his, but
firmly believed by young Swiger's
relatives to be his own and so iden-
titled by his sister and several Will
sonburg residents who knew him
there number of years before he
enlisted in the army, and, the identi-
fication was thought to be complete,
because It was done by persons who
saw him grow up from boyhood in
to manhood. The body had all his
features. birth and other marks, and
was .tattooed as Harry's was known
to be. And the body was buned as
that of Harry swiger, notwithstand4
ing the fact that the army officers
here maintained that it could not
be his as they had no notice of his
deserting from the army and because
of that could not reconcile themselves
to the statement that Harry had
wandered the country over to escape
the army detectives and other offic-
eEs and was the one killed at Grand
Junction the first of April last. when
trying to escape from officers. who
wanted the stranger for theft
Generally accepted that Harry was
dead and buried, his relatives and
friends made no special effort to To-
cate him, If alive. and Monday night
an innocent looking little postal
card received by Edward Maxwell of
Wilsonburg, startled the denizens of
that burg as much. perhaps, as il a
real ghost had walked. The post
card was from Harry swiger and in
his own handwriting. There was
no mistake about it.

Company.
LBY Associated prees. /

NEW YORK, Oct. 22-E Excitement
amounting almost to alarm marked
the opening of business in Wall street
today. The stock market opened
demoralized under heavy selling and
at the same moment a run OF con-
siderable proportions was being
made on the various Offices Of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company. At
the main offices more than humid
red and fifty persons were ia line at
1880 o'clock, and there was a line
of carriages in waiting extending
more than a block.
The stock market opening showed
severely the. effect of the renewed
shock to confidence caused by the
spread of financial distrust by tho
publishea details of the affairs OF the
Knickerbocker Trust Company.
Prices broke wildly but almost Inn
mediately rallied
The run on the Knickerbocker
Trust Company continued until 2:aO
when the company announced it
would have to stop payment to- de-
positors because the currency could
not be obtained rapidly enough 1t
added the company was perfectly
solvent and may resume payment
tomorrow. In the meantime the ex-,
citement on the stock exchange is
not abated.
