Different Theorie# It is reported that at first there were etrony fear# that he might have imet with foul play and some inquirI les were made along that line, but a# tar as could be learned nothing developed to substance this theory. | -Another theory is that Mr. Stewart may have been discourageti in business matters and in a spirit of desI pendency decided to quit his huslnes, and quietly depart.
