Seattle, Aug. 17 ? Henry E. Nieolai, fownerly of Skag
way and who began a crusade against the liquor dealers at
Sunuyside, Washington, some three months ago after which
he mysteriously disappeared and for whom there was a
standing reward offered by citizens of the town in which lie
lived, was discovered last night by detectives on a ranch in
South Seattle where he had been working as a farm hand
for some time past. Nieolai is out out of his mind at times.
He claims that lie was drugged and forced to leave home
with three men, claims he can recall but little of what took
place after he left Sunnyside. Ou many things his mind is
a blank. Local police authorities place no stock in his
having been kidnapped and aeserts that his is simply a cas.3
of insanity induced by excitement over religion. The
reward which amounts to $1250 will be turned over to the
Theil Detective Association, ifliose officers traced . him so
successfully.
