Stewart, proprietor of the Coast
House on West Alder street and one
of the best known citizens of this city,
has disappeared He left his room
ing house Saturday evening about
$50 O'Clock and has not been seen
since.
The family was considerably wof-
ried when Mr.. Stewart, who IL 81
years old, did not return home Sat
urday night and yesterday every
friend and relative of the aged man
was communicated with, but they had
seen nothing Of him The family is
heartbroken over the mysterious dis
appearance. of the father end hus-
band and is unable to account for It,
though they refuse to believe he has
gone insane and say they do not think
he has met foul play. In fact, they
did not know what to think.
Mr.. Stewart came to Walla Walls
in the early days and for many years
was engaged in the livery business
For the past several months he has
is in the Drumheller building. When
cradle damage and brought suit
Stewart alleged he suffered consid-
cradle damakge and brought suit
against the Drumheller company. The
case was tried and Stewart lost, being
assessed the costs of prosecution.
Stewart contemplated appealing the
case, but Friday the sui: was COM
promised and dropped. This has
caused both Mr.. and Mrs Stewart
considerable worry. 1t was not hard
to detect Mr. Stewards health was
failing. He also had financial worries
which he is said to have declared
would drive him insane
Friday Mr. Stewart called on his
son, who is employed at the City mills,
and told him Of the compromise.
When seen by a reporter yes

better spirits than on Friday. He
stayed about his home all that day

THINKS FIGHT WILL GO
TWENTY-FIVE ROUNDS

san Francisco, Feb. 21-That IL
Will require about tweney five rounds
for Nelson to knock out Wolgast in
tomorrow's fight at Point Richmond
Is the opinion of Nelson's manager.
John r. Robinson, formerly a prom
inent newspaper sporting editor. He
is quoted as saying:
Wolgast is not knockout fighter
despite his rugged build and strength
He Is mauler and his blows lack
the Knockout snap. Nelson is a
greatly improved fighter since his last
meeting with Wolgast. He has de,
veioped himself considerably along
the speed route, and today is a skilled
boxer.
with this speed development he
has lost none of his stamina nor
punching powers. His punches seem
to get harder the longer a battle pro-
crosses. In his fight with Eddie Lang
in Memphis he was punching ten times
as hard in the eighth round as he was
in the first. He was like lightning
on his feet and his ring generalship
was perfect. He is still the same
sugged Battler as before. his perfect
methods of living being responsible
for this.
II expect Wolgast to maui him for
fifteen rounds. then get tired and dis,
couraged through his inability to
make any impression on Nelson's cast
iron frame. Bat will then begin his
real attack, and inside of the next ten
rounds for the fight to go at least
twenty-five rounds, and possibly n
little longer.
Nelson is a cleaner hitter than
Wolgast and his blows carry much
more force. He hits shorter and with
better judgment. Then, again, you
must give him a good percentage for
his greater experience. He has been
in the ring for thirteen years, while
it was only a little more than three
years that Wolgast was fighting for
IS purses.
