Hellen when he departed Hellen waa driven Into town Tuesday last September 27th and that night took the midnight train for San Francisco Since then he has not been heard of After conducting the springs for a year- Hellen renewed hla lease for another year last July and It waa thought he was making quite a success of the business and no doubt he was doing well His going away and not returning In due time caused Wallbrldge the proprietor of the Springs to become suspicious since Hellen was several months back in hla rent Wallbrldge therefore had an attachment placed on the property teat Sat urday afternoon and he and Under-sheriff Warmouth remained at the Springs all 'day Sunday and since then Mr Wallbrldge has been virtually in possession of the property Mrs Hellen remained at the

United States Since the attachment of the Springs waa made It la said that no account books of any kind were found about the hotel It said no hooka were kept by Hellen after the renewal of the lease
