KENNEDY GOES BACK TO FARM Has Had All He Wants of Seeing the Sights, Dan Kennedy, the aged and wealthy farmer from Ulysses, Neb., who came to Council Bluffs to ses the sights and suc- ceeded In seeing a goodly share of them, was sent home yesterday. The police, who gathered him in for safe keeping Friday, gave him enough money of what he had left to pay his way home and sent the balance to his bank at Ulysses. As to the drafts for several thousand dollars which the old man was reported to have dfs- played during His peregrinations about the various resorts of the eity, Kennedy when he had sobered up yesterday morning, told the police they were #afe, but was not dis- posed to glve out any more information concerning them. Chief Richmond, however, took the pre- caution to notify the bank at Ulysses and recelved word back that the bank officials would protect Kennedy and that the drafts would not be honored if presented for pay- ment by any person other than the old man himself. It was sald that Kenneay had between 36,000 and $7.000 on deplsit in the Ulysses bank. Kennedy In bidding the police goodbye and thanking them for taking care of him #aid he had come to Council Bluffs to get a little excitement after the humdrum life at the farm. “I guess I found what I wase looking for,” he sald, “and I guess I have had enough for the present and had bet- ter go home, .

DEEPLY REGRETS HIS ACTION| Stery of Operation for Appendiecitis & Fiction Intended Simply to | Throw Searchers Off Track and Let Him Disn Bdward P. Fitch of this city, who last October, while traveling in Burope, dropped out of sight and after a fruitiess search had been made for him turned up at Naples a few weeks ago, has fssued a statement in- | tended to clear up the mystery of his dis- | appearance. Mr. Fitch is still visiting rela- tives in Evanston, Il and the date of his return to his home in this city Is as yet uncertain. The statement, which was sent to an intimate friend of the family here with the request that it be given full pub- licity in the newspapers, follows: Upon refurning to Councll Bluffs, my home since boyhood, and having, since ar- riving at New York two weeks ago, been placed in the posseesion ot many faots, It s my duty, voluntarily undertaken. to make 2 plain statement of events occurring during the four painful months of my absence. The reluctance of one to return to the scenes where explanation must be made for his misdeeds must be apparent to all, but the necessity for such an act is equally aprarent. Realiging that no words can ever make reparation for the suffering endured by my family and friends; that no words can ex- press tho gratitude T feel for the sympathy, encouragement and aid offered to my sisters; that no words can extenuate my actions, yet I feel it may help to a fuller understanding if the simple facts are known. Sk Appreclating gratefully that the press has been a kindly medium through which ry friends have been kept informed of the efforts put forth in my behalf, yet some articles published are to be deeply regrett: because of their inaccuracies and the fol- lowing statement will assist in correcting Seuply abeorbed in a business requiring olose application and oareful study, & business filled with a mass of seemingly bewlldering detall. 1t became impossible to me to give up any portion of it, even though realizing the necessity for it en- Jined by an ever increasing business. In justice, I uimn" th ‘thmy c'r‘nplrn;;m: ed me to relinquish mueh of ori: 16 place detalls In the hands of | ers and to secure relaxation by oc- tntonal” vacations. Even this seemed im- | possible to me. t of Self-Destrmet Increasing _difficultics and complexities were brooded over and magnified until v assumed undue proportions and t | task became too heavy for proper accom- | plishment. Outdoor exercise presented no attractions, hence there was no physical set to_this mental stram. O raduaily and insidiousty the thought ot self-destruction took possession of me. This fdoa remained until hours of morbid thought were given to it. Finally came a distinct apprehension of entire collapse. At this time a trip to Burope was Sug- gested and urged by my employers. This had been my life's desire and seemed to present & solution of the problem. From the moment of boarding the train at Councll Bluffs on August 2, 1908, con- fiicting_plans for the future occupled my mind. Business requiring attention enroute was, at times, properly considered or again neglected with an indifference that 1s yet rehensible to me. R aHing the first five weeks after my ar- rival in England T wrote frequent letters to my family and friends. The inspiration to travel buoyed my mind and apparently relieved the tension, but later I found that my business worriés were not diminished by retrospect nor rendered less ominous in ture. e Fihie juncturs T decided to disappear and invented a piausible story to cover disappearance. 1 had often ex- ressed & fear of appemdicitis.
