Kelleher’s Flight.

A dispatch from Frankfort says of J. J. Kelleher, the Cattle dealer: “This city is still puzzled over the flight of J. J. Kelleher, the cattle dealer. He left a number of creditors, but none were crowding him. A. McCoy, of Rensselaer, the wealthy banker and stock man, who was associated in business with Kelleher, was here yesterday and said that Kelleher, was not short more than $2,000 with him, and that he would have supplied him with all necessary money to continue business, had he known his condition. Kelleher’s total indebtedness wi’l not exceed S4OOO. There is nothing criminal in his transactions, but tn evi dently could not bear to face his creditors, so he left, taking his family with him. The exact date of his departure is not known. He has gone to Tacoma, Wash.”
