Frankfort, Indiana, Sept. ~
MOurned as dead by his family and
friends for years, and declare to be
legally cad by the court of Clinton
county in orer that his mothers es-
tate might be settled up, it now de-
velops that Levi Wratten, former
sheriff of the county, who mysterious
" disappeared from his home in thi,
city twelve years ago, is alive and
well, and is living under an assumed
name at Waterville, Wash.
Soon after he had served his term
as sheriff of the county, Mr.. Wratien
left this city over the Glover Leaf,
stating that he was going to St.
Louis This was the last seen of him.
lie left behind him a fine farm in
Michigan township, wife and seye-
raj children and his father and moth
err
The police in all the large cities Of
the country were notified of his dis
appearance, and the family tried in
every known way to get some word
concerning him, but without success.
In time his father died and in a few
years his mother. she leaving a goodlv
Fart of her estate to the missing son
provided he returned within two
years after her death to claim it.
The two years passed without a
word from him, and in order to set
tie up the estate, Levi Wratten was
declared by the Clinton circuit to be
legally dead. Then, in order that
she might better administer the es-
tate left her children-the will of Mrs
Wratten providing that in case the
did not return that the property
should go to his children-Mrs Wrat-
ten obtained divorce from her miss
ing husband on the ground of aban
dOnment.
When Mr.. Wratten left here he
was hopelessly involved financially,
but his transactions were not of a
criminal nature, and he appeared TO
be devoted to his family. Within
the last week, resident of this city
visiting at Waterville saw Mr.. Wrat-
ten. and though the latter at first
denied his identity, he finally admit
ted that he was none other than Levi
Wratten of Clinton county.
He had been in the west for a
number of years, had begun life over
and was prospecting. He expressed
deep regret at leaving his family as
he did, and stated that he hoped
within short time to be able to re-
turn to his old home, and be in a po-
sition to pay off his indebtedness. He
admitted that after leaving Frankfort
he got as far away as possible and cut
off all communication with Indiana,
taking an assumed name and making
new start in life. Mr. Wratten was
one of the most popular officers the
county ever had, and was a member
of one of the pioneer families of the
county.

AN APOLOGY.

The World wishes to make an apol-
ogy to its readers for an article which
in Fridays issue under the
theatre notice.
This matter is usually prepared for
the theatrical companies by press

under "Press Agents Promises. -
The article on Friday, however, went
il without that caption, and we are
informed that a number of people
were misled by it.
The World has always endeavored
to give it's readers the truth in ref
erence to these public entertainments,
and in future will continue to do so.

PLOT Is DISCOVERED
MANY ARRESTS MADE IN LIS
BON TODAY.

LISBON July 2s.-The government, ac-
cording to the news papers Of Lisbon.
has discovered and frustrated a wide
spread republican plot for an uprising
scheduled for today. the anniversary OF
the abortive revolt OF July %. which was
suppressed by ex-Premier Franco.
This announcement follows q large
number Of mysterious arrests made dur
Ing the past few weeks. Alfonso Costa
and Bernardino Machado, the republican
leaders, are among those under suspicion.
They have not been taken into custody
but are kept under sharp police surviel-
lance. Portuguese officials are reticent
regarding the matter. Senior Magro. the
chief Of police will say nothing except
that there was conspiracy afOot and
that many men are implicated, including
officers Of the army. Ell Mundo says the
sergeants OF the 18th Regiment are
involved and that there has been a sys-
tematic propaganda among the other
regiments quartered in Lisbon.
The colonies Of all the regiments To-
Gated in the capital were summoned be-
fore the minister of war and informed by
him that they would be held responsible
for the loyalty of their men. Ball car
tridges have been served out to the men,
bers Of the municipal guard. The Diario
Popular. the official organ of the govern
ment, says the authorities have taken the
measures necessary for the suppression
OF any revolutionary outbreak.
