West | W. A. Cummings it is Believed Knows Something of the whereabouts of a Wealthy Young Englishman who Dis- appeared a Year Ago—Search Here Unsuccessful. IF W. A. CUMMINGS, recently em- ployed at the State Hospital for the Insane =t Norwich, will communicate with Redington & Stillman, 15 William street, New York city, he wiil hear scmetbing to his advantage. Anvone giving definite information of his pres- ent_whereabouts will be suitably re- warded. b This want adyertisement appearing in The Bulletin this week no doubt at- tracted attention and stimulated the curiosity of many as to whether Mr. Cummings had fallen heir to a large fortune or some smaller sized gift. It appears, however, that such is not the case, though if he c¢an be found and he able to deliver the Informa- tion he has sald he could he will doubt- less be substantially rewarded as the advertisement indicates. It is under- stood that he has some information concerning a wealthy young English- man who disappeared from his home snd has never been located, thoueh his family has made evers effort to find m. About a vear ago there disappeared over in England a young n _con- mnected with a wealthy fam.! They sought every way to locate him, ad- vertised extensively and had lawyers giving their attenifon to t ‘matter, but nothing was ever heard 1.om him. Every clue was run down without re- sult and, being unable to get any trace whatever of him, they had almost de- cided that he was dead. It was at this point that Mr. Cummings, who had ev- ldently seen the advertisements, en- tered the drama by writing to the fam- ily and_ stating that he had seen the young Englishman in Montana. The zamily notified their attorneys and it bappened that a fmember of the firm was in this country at the time, and upon receipt of the letter across the yiater he was cabled concerning it and began to run down the wri Mr. Cummings was an attendant at the hospital at Howard, R. L. at the time he wrote and the representative of the law firm hastened there to see him. e found that Mr. Cun had left Howard for the hospital, and he came here in search of the young man. Mr. Cumminss had left Howard a day or two after writ- in~ the letter and was here as an at- tendant for a few days a week to two weeks 2go. When the attorney reach- ed here Mr. Cummings had goue, his services at the hospital being dispensed with, and since then it has been ab- solutely impossible to locate him. There was certain information which Mr. Cummings gave to the family in the letter which the lawver said the members of the family alone knew, and for that reason it is believed thal Cummings has either seen the young man, or someone Intimately acquainted with the family, or is the wanted young I man himself. It has been thought the missink Englishman may have been tempora 1lly deranged and that Cummings mas have seen him at one of the hospitals at the springs in Montana where he was employed. Much depends upon finding him and getting his story. A telegram sent to Montana brought no results. Where. Mr. Cummin~ went from here was not known at the state hospital, though all assistance possi- | Ble was'siven the searcher on his visit here. MANY GUESTS ON WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Martin V.
