THE FftAXCIS MYSTERY.
mi-: Missixn max meanders
INTO LEBANON.
a vi:i:y six:ri,AR story.
On the oil inst., some gentleman
while traveling near Kendalls
bridire on the Calapooia in Linn
county, about twelve miles east of
Corvallis, found a hat with a bullet
hole through I he crown, a blood'
necktie, and some other articles of
a mans wearing apparel. There
was also considerable blood on the
ground and various evidences of a
severe struggle having taken place.
The articles were taken to Albany
and considerable excitement cre
ated, and the impression soon
o-ained ground that a murder had
Leon committed. The clothing
and other articles were recognized
:is belonging to W. Y. Francis, a
shoemaker who resided at Halscy,
and who had
Lett Albany for hit Home
Late on the previous evening with
several hundred dollars on his per
son. Among the articles found
was a small canvas sack in which
he had been seen to put his money
a short time before leaving Al
bany, and oit which were the
initial letters W. "NY. F. A tele
gram was immediately sent to S.
L. Porter t llalsey, inquiring if
Mr. Francis was at home, and a
reply was received to the effect
that he had gone to Albany
with the intention of returning on
Frida', but he had not so returned,
and that his horse had returned
riderless with blood on the saddle.
All these facts, and some others
that we do not deem worthy of
repetition, seemed to lix conclus
ively the fact that Mr. Francis
Had It"ii I'oiilfj Henlf Willi,
And the deputy sheriff with sev
eral other parlies went to the
place of the supposed murder to
search for the body of the missing
man, but all efforts were in vain.
Since that time it has been ascer
tained that on the day of the sup
posed tragedy, Mr. F. had recorded
a deed in the clerks office at Al
bany, transferring all his real prop
erty to his wife, that he had also,
placed several notes in the hands
of a collector at Halse' a few days
before directing him to pay the
money when collected to his wife,
that he had also recently taken
out an insurance policy on his life
in favor of his wife, and that when
he left home on the day above
mentioned, he took with him two
. hats and other unnecessary arti
cles, all tending to create the im
pression that
This 1V:is .lust a MUlr Came
Gotten up by Mr. Francis to ac
count for an unexpected departure.
There seemed to be no reason
however for such action on his
part as he was doing well in busi
ness and had accumulated property
to the value of perhaps four thou
sand dollars, and seemed to be
happily situated in domestic af
fairs. Mr. Francis was for a con
siderable time a resident of Cor
vallis and was well known both
there and at Halscy, and sustained
a good reputation.
The Sequel to the Miiij.
On "Wednesday mornings mail
from Lebanon, June loth, the fol
lowing letter reached the Albany
Democrat effice:
Lekaxon, June 15. Y. W.
Francis is here looking very hag
gard. He cannot give any correct
account of where he has been, or
how he came to where he first
came to himself. The Odd Fellows
have him in charge now. I found
him sitting on the sidewalk earty
this morning. He says I am the
first man he has spoken to since
he encountered the one on the
bridge. Respectfully yours,
V. H. Reed.
Immediately on receipt of the
above the editor telegraphed to T.
J5. Black of llalsey, that a letter
had been received from Lebanon
stating that Francis was there, and
in bad condition, and suggesting
that his friends go to Lebanon and
look after him. He also wrote at
once to Mr. Reed at Lebanon, re
questing him to send full particulars
of the matter. In reply he has
the following statement sent by
him. He savs:
"Wednesday morning at about
five o'clock I saw a man sittuiir on
the sidewalk in front f Dwiecas
grocery store. He had & white
handkerchief tied about his head
and there seemed to 1k something
the matter with him, so I crossed
the street to where lie Mil and
asked him what the trouble whs.
He said he had been tin-own from
a horse about ten days ago. 1
then asked him where he lived and
he said at llalsey. and said his
name was AY. AY. Francis. 1 then
told him about the clothing, hat,
necktie and scarf pin having been
found on Kendall's bri'lgc and
brought into Alban', and the
circumstances attending the mat
ter. He interrupted me and asked
if they found a linen coat; I told
him they did. He then said he
left home that day to go to collect
a note and on his way back he met
a man and a woman in a wagon on
the bridge. The man he said was
of medium size, sandy complexion
and red whiskers. 1 hey stopped
him and asked him numerous
questions about farm lands and
crop prospects, what land could be
bought or rented for and the best
sections of the country to look for
lands, etc. He said he raised his
hat in one hand and was wiping
the perspiration from his forehead,
when
Someone Shut a PMol.
ne could not see who it was
though. His horse became fright
ened and jumped, throwing him
off and the last thin"- he remem
bers is the sensation of falling
from the horse. The rest is all
blank until he came to himself
somewhere in the mountains, he!
does not know where exactly. For
several days he wandered about
and does not remember to have
eaten anything, until one day he
found some wild black berries. He
ate a few of these and a short time
after found some water and got
down to it, drinking a good deal.
The water made him very sick and
he threw up the berries he had
eaten. He was bruised up badly
and very sore and lame. He
managed to kill a bird and a little
after that a rabbit. He was so
hungry and had no way of cook
ing them, that he ate them raw.
Then he has no memory of what
occurred for a time but remembers
having found a cabin, though he
cannot tell where it was. "When
I saw him there was a bad bruise
on his forehead larger than a half
dollar, and he was verv lame in
one hip, complained that it almost;
drove him crazy at times the pain
was so great. I took him and put
him to bed where he went to sleep
at once. He would not cat any
thing. He had been asleep only a
short time when Messrs. Claugh
ton, Houk and Gilbert came in to
see him. Prof. Gilbert said he
knew him and went to his room
and woke him up, when these gen
tlemen came in. Prof. Gilbert
asked him if he knew who he was,
and Francis said: Yes, you are
the school superintendent. 1 asked
how he came to be smooth shaved.
He said he was shaved but he
could not tell how he came so.
He had a pistol with him and said
the parlies at the bridge did not
take that away from him. He said
he
Xfnd Keen Itnbbrri r Hit Jlouejr
And watch. The talk seemed to
worry him and lie cried for a time,
finally saying he was very anxious
to go home to his wife and wanted
to know if there was not some way
of getting there, lie spoke of
making the transfer of his property
to her and said he knew something
would happen. He talked of a
good many things in a rambling
way, and asked to see a livery
man, so he could get home, saying
he had no money with him but
could get it when he got to llalsey.
I saw Mr. Bilyeu and he got a
team ready and at half past eight
o'clock started home with him. It
is a mystery to all here where he
came from and no one seems to
have any satisfactory explanation.
Mr. Bilyeu returned from Halscy
where he left Francis with his peo
ple, and he reports that Halsey
people were as much surprised to
see Francis as we were here this
morning. Mrs. Francis was con
fined only a few days ago, and is
still very weak. The meeting be
tween them was very affecting.
It seemed to affect Francis very
strangely. He fell down and went
into something like a fit, frothing
at the mouth like a mad man.
Dr. Smith was called at once and
had great difficulty in forcing his
mouth open to get him to take
medicine. "When Bilveu left he
was still unconscious and had not.
spoken. Respectfully yours,
W.1I.1:ki:i.
The Story Is a Strange One.
Another correspondent of the
Democrat says a package of money
was received from San Francisco
amounting to over $400, and con
signed to AY. AY. Francis, by
Martin and Smith, or Smith and
Martin, of San Francisco. Mr.
Henry Habnc, of "Halsey, states
itiat rraucis nas recovered par-
IjV. T- I . .1
tially from hi Mckness, nilitough
still in led. He joeys Franeis
claims the $-100 was money due
him for work done long ago, when
the jwirties for wIkmii he worked
were tumble to pay him. and this
is now payment of the debt. Some
who are familiar with Francis
handwriting say there is no doubt
but the address on the package is
m his writing. Mr. Habne says
Francis talks some, part of the
time rather incoherently, altlioiigh
most of the time he
Seems to he national Huougb.
No one has been able to get a sat
isfactory explanation of his disap
pearance from him yet, what he
says being about as our Lebanon
correspondent has given it. The
Halsey people are at a loss to find
any satisfactory explanation of the
mystery. Various theories are ad
vanced, but none of them seem to
be very generally accepted. Most
believe that he is not in his right
mind, and has not been for some
time back, even before transfer
ring his property to Ins wife. All
in all, it is a very singular story,
and the probabilities are that the
true iuwardnessof the whole affair
will never bo fully explained.
Should any tiling of further interest
transipre, we will endeavor to give
our readers full particulars.
News and Notes.
If Depew can now be elected a
senator from New York, after i;he
exposure of bribery in his interest,
the Alta thinks it will be a new
chapter in the history of low
down politics. Vanderbilt has
many millions, and Robertson has
a thousand appointments; but they
cannot elect Depew.
It having been stated that Gen.
Rosser had discovered a new route
for a portion of the Canadian
Pacific railway, which would save
at least one hundred and fifty
miles in distaucc, the London
Engineer remarks that the General
had better look again; perhaps he
could save it all.
"Whittaker is to be dismissed
from his cadetship, but he has cost
the country a good deal of money;
has brought undeserved blame
upon West-point; has caused tho
removal of the able commander of
that institution, and has been a
nuisance generally. It is a pity
that the colored people had not a
better representative.
It is very probable thatBadeaus
Life of Grant will not take rank
as an authority any more than
Shermans Memoirs. Badcau is
too much of a Boswell to be an
impartial historian. He seems to
have unjustly belittled Meade and
othor commanders, and his ac
counts of the closing campaigns in
Virginia will hardly be accepted
as entirely reliable. Grant is so
great a soldier that he docs not
need such panegyrists as Badeau.
Most Generals win victories by
attrition, superior numbers and
forced fighting. There is no need
of misrepresentation of the Vir
ginia battles and victories. Grants
success warranted his policy, and
his fame is assured.
The 2vev York Sun frankly
admits that it was not justified in
publishing the false report that
Blaine was mixed up in tho Star
route scandal. For once the Sun
does an honest thing.
Sara Bernhardt, having gone
home with a sack full of American
money, Patti and her Nicolininow
contemplate coming to gather a
golden harvest. These people
belong to one of the least de
serving and best paid classes iu
the world.

Cinchona Rubra.
The Count Cinchon was the bpauish
Viceroy iu Peru in l(X). The Countess,
his wife, was prostrated by an intermit
tent fever, from which she was freed by
the use of the native remedy, the Peru
vian bark, or. as it was called in the
language of the country, Quinquina."
Grateful for her recovery, on her return
to Europe in lfi, she introduced the
remedy in Spain, where it was known
under various names, until Juuuv.us
called it Cinchona, in honor of the lady
who had brought them that which was
more precious than the gold of thelncas.
To this day, after a lapse of two hun-
nrai ami any yean, science na.s jjiven
ns nothing to take its place. It effectu
ally cures a morbid appetite for stimu
lants, by restoring the natural tone of
the stomach. It attacks excessive love
of liquor as it does a fever, and destroys
both alike. The powerful tonic virtue
of the Cinchona is preserved in the
Peruvian Bitters, which are as effective
against malarial fever to-day as they
were in the da. - of the old Spanish
Viceroys. We guarantee the ingredi
ents of thoe bitters to lie absolutely
pure, and of the IhM known quality.
A trial will satisfy you that this is the
bct bitter in the world. "The proof of
the pudding is in the eating," and we
willingly abide this tel. For sale by
all druggists, grocers and liquor dealers.

They get all kinds of orders from far and

For every thing there- looks so clean and so
" neat,
And their beer is so sparkling, it cannot b
beat.
If vou are feeling bad or the blues do appear.
You can drive thera away by drinking AL

I have an old father, who's now eighty-three,
And tliis is tho advice he guvs nnte me.
He spoke to me kindly with a voice bright
and clear :
"If you want to be healthy, drink ALBANY
BEER."
Since then I have done so, and I'm hearty
and sound,
At the round age of fifty I can always be
found
At ray daily labor before the sun does appear
And each day and night I drink ALBANY
BEER.
Also, on draught, THE CELEBRATED
BOCK BEER.
