Portland, Mich., April 23. - A letter has been received from Chicago by a young woman in this village in which it was state that the writer had seen, the day the letter was written, Leon Morse, the son of ex-Game and Fish Warden Grant M. Morse, who so suddenly and completely disappeared a year ago last February and from whom no word has ever been received.
The young man, who avers he certainly saw young Morse, is Claude Holcombe who is a resident of Portland, and is now a member of one of the bands connected with Sells Bros.' Circus, now showing in Chicago. Not only did Holcombe see Morse, but the latter called to him and spoke to him, but when he went to go near him Morse disappeared in the crowd. There is not much chance for Holcombe to have been mistaken for he was a classmate of Morse when they attended Portland schools, and both have always lived there.
