Friends in Salt Lake of Thomas
Hughes, a candymaker, are alarmed
lest ne may have committed suicide in
Ogden or its vicinity. He has not been
heard from for five days. The last word
from him was that he had made up his
mind to take his own life.
Hughes was a sufferer from kidney
trouble. The ailment took an acute
form about two months ago. He was
in great pain at times. and was able to
work only at rare intervals. In this
city he had room at the Lincoln room
ing house, First South and State streets,
which he had occupied for seven or
eight years. On Saturday, June 10, he
went to Ogden with a friend A week
later, on June 20. he wrote two letters
from that city i'm which he told Of his
determination to commit suicide.
ITO Cross the Divide"
One Of the letters was addressed to
James Russell of this city, an old friend
of Hughes. The letter reads:
Dear Jim: I will not write much, be
cause I am too III to do so. I have con-
cluded to cross the divide, so by the
time you read this ] shall be no more,
but viii have gone the route.
Kind regards 10 all the boys Good
luck to YOU always. Goodbye"
The other letter was to Mrs. BiancO,
122 Social avenue, who runs a candy
stand. and by whom Hughes had fire.
quently been employed In the manufac-
ture Of candy. It's tenor is similar to
the letter addressed to Mr.. Russell.
Dear madam wrote Hughes, L

a friend of mine asked me to come here
to Ogden and rest over Sunday. I came
and now 1 am completely broken in

ford and called on Chords widow,
whom he had never met. One of the
first things Mrs. Clifford showed him
was a sketch which Mr.. Clifford had
made a short time before his death, and
which had been locked up and seen by
no one until a few days before Mr..
Thompson's call. This sketch was ex-
actly similar in every detail TO one of
the sketches Thompson had left with
Professor HyslOp.
This fact and other equally surprising
features in the case, prompted Pro-
fessOr Hyslop to even a stronger belief
that the spirit lives after death, and
that the artist Chords spirit finds
communication with this world through
the medium Of the goldsmith THOMPSON.

delivery. 1 am brOken-hearted and mis-

but I cannot stand the strain any long

Hughes had often been employed at
the Rio Grande lunch room and candy
kitchen, 509 West Second South. but the
proprietors of that place said yesterday
that they had not seen or heard of him
for two. weeks. Nothing was found in
Hughes room tending to throw further
light on his whereabouts.
Fear It Is Suicide.
Mr.. Russell and other friends Of
Hughes are convinced that Hughes has
carried out his threat of self-destruc-
ton. They are of the opinion that he
purchased a quantity of poison and
went into one of the numerous canyons
about ogden and there took a fatal
dose.
His friends here are at a loss
to know what steps are to be taken to
ascertain the truth or falsity Of their
belief. The police of Ogden will be
asked TO look into the matter. and rem
der assistance If possible in finding the
body and clearing up the mystery.
Hughes was IS years of age, : feet s
inches in height, weight 135 pounds,
three fingers of left hand lacking. large
scar of burning on left arm, row of false
teeth in upper jaw, sandy complexion,
sandy moustsChe, streaked with gray.
He wore a gray suit, black Derby hat,
white collar and dark tie.
