ELGIN FARMER'S SON HAS SUD
DENLY DROPPED FROM VIEW ,
STARTED HOME TUESDAY NIGHT
.HODE BLACK HORSE BUT NEVER
ARRIVED AT THE FARM.
THE HORSE HAS NOT COME BACK
With Every Reason to Believe -That
.the Youth Would Have Returned
'Homo Unless Molested , It Is Feared
'Something Serious Happened.
I * . Elgin , Neb. , Oct. 18. Special to The
"News : Elgin and the entire country
side for miles around are In a state
of Intense excitement today because
of the mysterious disappearance from
home of August McCllntock , a young
man twenty years of age , whoso pa
rents live on a farm four miles north
west of this place.
Started For Home.
"Young .McCllntock loft homo at 7
'o'clock Tuesday night , riding a horse ,
aind rode a mile and a half to the
"homo of a neighbor. Ho spent the
evening nt the neighbor's home and
left at 9 o'clock , to return to his own
'farm. He has not been seen since.
The horse , which was raised on the
farm , has not como back homo as it
would naturally do If It were rider
less. There is every reason to be-
If llovo that the boy would have como
straight home If nothing had happened
to him. The natural supposition Is
that the young man must have met
with foul play.
Horse Seen , Strange Rider.
The foul play theory Is strength
ened by the fact that a farmer from
this vicinity , who was west of Clearwater -
water yesterday morning and who
knew nothing of the disappearance of
the boy , met a man riding a horse
which he nt once thought ho recog
nized as the horse In question belong
ing to the McCllntocks. Ho returned
to Elgin and asked the McCllntock's
if their black horse was gone. He
said that he was positive this was the
animal. A strange man was riding
the horse a heavy set man , with a
saddle on the horse , though the boy
.had no saddle.
Searched All Day Yesterday.
Farmers and citizens of this vicin
ity , when they learned yesterday of
the non-arrival home of the McClin-
tock boy , began a thorough search
And kept It up all day long yesterday
and last night. Every nook and cor-
Tier of the country has been scoured ,
tout without avail.
Telephone wires have been used in
- < avery direction , but no , trace of the
missing youth lias , been found.j.
The boy , , , when , ho .left home ' , was
dressed In a suit , p oyeralls. 'H.O had
no money , w'jlh himHo was riding
& black horse. ,7 ,
No Trouble at Home.
There Is no reason to believe that
the young man would leave home vol
untarily , and there IB every reasons to
believe he would have returned
straight home if he had not been mo
lested. He had had no trouble of any
Kind at home , and his relations were '
exceedingly pleasant and amicable
with all of the family and farmhands
The man who wns seen riding the
black horse west ot Clearwater was
dressed In black. He was riding In
a heavy saddle and with a heavy brl
die.
die.The
The horse had never been away from
the farm for any length of tlmo and
it is therefore believed that , If the
boy had been thrown and left the an
Imal riderless , It would have returned
to the farm.

DEATH FOR I5JN SUBMARINE
Little Doubt That Crew of French
Plunger Have Perished.
Blserta , Tunis , Oct. 18. The officers
engaged In the salvage work express '
the certainty that the crew of the
French submarine Lutln have per
ished. Members of the crew of the
tug Ishmul which convoyed the Lutln
on her last voyage , declare that the
submarine plunged twice successfully
and after she had gone down for the
third lime her bow showed twice :
ab'ove the surface of the water before
Bho finally disappeared. This leads
to the belief thattho , catastrophe re
sulted from a sudden leak at the
stern. The water probably rushed In
very rapidly and overturned the nccu
jnulators , This would cause death
giving fumes to emannte from the
adds , and the crew of fifteen would
have no change for life.

W. Morton Grlnncll , a member o !
the board of directors , had died dur

Harrlman faction agreed that Grin
noil's successor should he a man
whose presence In the directory would
not be Inimical to the Indcpcndenco

will Cutting of Now York in nomlna-
tlon. Ho then cast a total of 013.703
shares for Cutting. Cromwell , ns a
matter of record , voted 2.100 shares
against Cutting , and later cast them
for DeForest , whom ho had placed In
