Oneonta, Ala., July 25--(Special)--W.J. Lee, editor of The Blount
County Democrat at Bangor, in this county, left for parts unknown last
Saturday, carrying with him a horse hired at a livery stable at Oneonta.
He had about $50,. which he had borrowed to purchase a better press. He
left a wife and child.
Mr. J.A. Brice returned tonight from a two days' search for the run-away
editor. He says nothing can be heard of him after he left Blount
Springs. George F. Bynum, the liveryman, is still out hunting for the
man and his horse.
