JAMES YEO.

Union Road, Oct. 27, 18s7.

Since Mr. Yeo disappeared early ia Jan uary last, his parents and friends have been ulceasing in their efforts to ascertain his whereabouts. These efforts have not Lee :

they have arrived at the conclusion that he has been foully mur dered and his body hidden in some out of the way place. If the latter is the case the murderer or murderers have done their work well. Not aclue has, so far as known, been left behind which can bring the ter- rible crime home to the guilty party.

Yeo was known to have considerable money in his possession while here. The exact sum, or just how he carried it, is how- ever, not definitely known. had all his money in wallets on his person, snd others state that he carried it in a belt round his waist. Whether either or both of these stories are correct it is at present His murderers could pro- ly throw a little light on the mystery.:

difficult to say. bal

Che missing man is a son of Yeo, a respected resident of Union Road, and is about thirty-six years of age. He was a shoemaker by trade, having served his apprenticeship with Mr. William Pass- more of this city, in whose employ he was for about eight Some eight or nine years ago he left for Winnipeg.

eked chiefly at the baking busi- ness, and being a steady and industrious considerable money. He corresponded with his parents and relatives regularly, and always gave good accounts of himself and his prospects.

In September of last year he to the Island for the purpose of spending a few weeks with his

young man, bVié

parents and relatives

and seeing his old friends and acquaintan- ces, While here he spent his time visiting between his father’s residence at Union Road, and his relatives and friends at New Glasgow, Bradalbane Station, Lot 10, and this city.

While on his way to the city on the 27th September last he dropped in at the residence of Mr. 8. T Sellick, at Bradal- bane. Mr. Sellick having some important business to transact in the city, and being somewhat pressed for time, asked Yeo to attend to the matter for him as soon he came totown. Yeo said he would, and on attended to Mr. business as promised. This was the last Mr. Sellick saw of him.

Yeo, it is said, remained in the city from that time until the 3rd of January, the date of his disappearance.

He was atall man, about six feet in height and well built. His hair and moustache, were light in color. When last wore a long blue overcoat, a light checked undercoat and vest,and dark pants. When Yeo disappeared it was at first thought that he had returned to Winnipeg; but had overlooked letting his relatives know of his movements. The authorities at the Capes and at other sections of the Island were communieated with, _ but nothing could be learned of the missing man. His friends in Winnipeg were also written to, only to learn’ that he had not returned there. Other places in the Dominion and the United States were applied to for information on the subject, but without success. This is how the case stands at present.

Some people assert that Yeo was a little weak-minded, and may have committed suicide. His relatives and friends say that he was all right, and not the kind of man to do away with himself.

Yeo’s friends in this city and Winnipeg report that he was a model young man in every respect, and think thatif alive he is being kept out of the way for some reason oranother. Previous to his leaving the Island he also bore a good character.

We trust that there will be a speedy solu- tion of the mystery; that if alive, Yeo will soon be restored to his friends, and that if dead the ‘‘murder’ will out,” and the guilty parties will be made to feel that justice, though slow, is sure.

fell te the lot of the elder brother of the joker for opening. After a remarkably vigor

ous effort to introduce the question,the opener finished with the following peroation: ‘* And Charles the First came forward and he laid his royal head on the executioner’s block, and it rolled beneath the blow of the executioner’s axe, and Charles the First was no longer.” Che audienee was riveted with the impassior e | eloquence of the speaker, but were quickly turned from grave to gay when our friend arose and thus proceeded: ‘* Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—The opener of this debate may have taken us for fools or he may have not, but I do think he is imposing a little too much when he informs us that at the time the head of Charles was severed from his body, he (the King) was no longer. We admit it and have always been under the impression that he was then ten or twe're inches shorter ! The audience enjoyed the joke, but the opener showed considerable chagrin and wished to have his tormentor ejected. He was, how- eV er, allowed to remain.
