Owensboro, KY., Dec. 13 — Edward HOAG of Denver, Col., came here two months
ago to marry Ella BROWN, one of the belles of the city. Two days before the
ceremony was to have been performed HOAG disappeared mysteriously, and
although a vigorous search, lasting four or five weeks was made for him, no
trace of his whereabouts could be obtained. He was given up for lost and his
disappearance was set down as a mystery that would never be solved. Yesterday
morning a little colored boy found a skull and some clothing on Bon Harbor
hills four miles west of the town. The remains proved to be those of HOAG and
had evidently been exposed during the whole time of his absence. He had over
$500 in cash when he was last seen by his friends and there is a strong
suspicion that he was murdered for his money.
