of this item, Mr. Rush C. Montgomery, is a young lawyer
who officed with Mr. R. C. Capers up stairs at 805 Main street.
He boarded with his father in East Dallas, Mr. L. P. Montgomery,
the assessor and collector of that city. On the 15th inst, he
came home to dinner, and as usual, returned to his office. Shortly
after reaching his office, he left, saying to Mr. Capers that
he was going out to the water works to see a Mexican who had
sent for him. No particular notice was made of this incident
at the time as Mr. Montgomery was in the custom of making and
filling appointments with clients, one of whom, the Mexican was
supposed to be. But, Mr. Montgomery failed to return after a
reasonable length of time, and Mr. Capers very naturally supposed
when he failed to appear at the office by night, that he went
home. He came not the next day and his absence caused Mr. Montgomery
to make inquiry at the office for him when he was surprised to
learn that he had not been there. Then, search for a clue to
furnish some idea of his possible whereabouts was instituted,
with the result of finding on his table, a memoranda left there
the day he left, reading as follows: "Go to district court.
See Dave Williams at 4 p. m. Pay Mrs. Cobbs taxes; then must
go see Mexican at waterworks, from whom I received a note."
Here, all trace of Mr. Montgomery is lost. The memoranda indicates
that the Mexican mission was the last intended for the day. Search
has been made for a Mexican in the vicinity of the waterworks,
but no such person was found, or the presence of such even recalled
by the inhabitants and frequenters of the locality. - o o o - Mr. J. E. Penry received a telegram this morning from Capt. J. K. Ross, stating that his father, Dr. J. M. Ross was still living, but no hopes of recovery. Capt. Ross is at the bedside of his father in Brenham. - o o o - Miss Sallie
