kel'eher of Franktort Skips Out.

Frankfort, Ind., January 14. This city is still pnzzled over the flight of J. J. Kelleher, the cattle dealer. He left a number of creditors, but none was crowding him. A. MoCoy, 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 of his condition. Kelleher’s total indebtedness will not exceed S4OOO. There was nothing criminal in his transactions, but he evidently could not bear to faoe 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.
