RICH FARMER WHO
VANISHED, IS NOW
A LABORER
JOSEPH PHiLPoTT, OF GRAND
BLANC TOWNSHIP, LEFT HOME
THROUGH GRIEF OVER FANclEo
MisTREATMENT BY FAMILY.
trrom a Special correspondent


FLINT. Mich, June 6.-Disappoint-
ed and grieved. SO he said, over the
treatment accorded him by his fam
lily, Joseph Philpott. wellknown
farmer, OF Grand Blanc township,
after marketing load Of produce III
this city, disappeared one day late
last fall Nothing had been heard
from him since that time, in spite OF
bis relatives efforts TO find him. until
yesterday a dispatch came from Oma-
ha, Neb., saying that Philpot was
living In that city with his brother
and working upon the streets as
common laborer.
Philpott, says the dispatch, refuses
to discuss family affairs and TO give
any reason for his action, save that
he believes his family was united
against him In trying to make his life
miserable and that every man. after
he has attained so years OF age, should
live alone"
Philpott has always been a hard
working man and had accumulated
considerable property and good
farm in Grand Blanc township. About
two years ago, he had some little
trouble with his family and became
melancholy and later, morose. he re-
fused TO eat at the table with the
family and fixed up a bin in the gran
AIRY and lived there by himself, re-
fusing to take any interest In the
management OF the farm, or advise
with his wife and sons upon the sale
of produce, leaving the matter entire
ly TO their care. He would often go
TO the village Of Grand Blanc and buy
himself a few things and sometimes.
IL Is said, he discussed family matters
with his friends.
Left Business TO Family.
He was evidently satisfied with the
manner In which his property was
being handled and the sales that were
made, as he never inquired as to
prices received, nor did he seek
share OF the proceeds. The sons fire.
Quently urged their father TO come
to the house and live. but he always
refused and would give them no rea-
son for his strange action. He had
said, on several occasions. that some
day he was going away TO start life
over again. but the family placed lit
tie faith in these statements as he
had SO often made threats OF this
kind.
Refused Officers Aid.
After Philpott disappeared, the fam
lily refused to ask the officers 10 aid
them In the search as they believed
him TO be hiding somewhere In the
neighborhood. But as time went on
and nothing was heard from him. let
ters were written to each OF the rela-
tives and Ii was in answer TO one OF
these letters that the Omaha dispatch
was received. Those who know Phil
pot best, say that they do not believe
him to be insane, but that his actions
are simply the result of ill-humor and
fancied wrongs. In the light Of his
refusal TO return home, ii is consid-
cred likely that the family will seek
q settlement OF the property.
