The Times this morning prints a long sensational account of the disappearance of Mr Logan, manager of the Cromwell Company. It is argued that he has been murdered, be- j

cause of the following telegram received in town from the Clyde:—"' It is reported here that Mr Logan left Perriams hotel, Lowburn, at half-past eleven last night. His horse and buggy have been found on the Cromwell side of the punt. There are marks of blood inside the buggy. About a mile on the Cromwell side of Taggart's hotel, a pool of blood was found and the road has been disturbed.

Mr Logan can't be found. Great excitement prevails." The police have just received intimation that Mr Logan only fell from his buggy, and was found in Marsh's farm house last night. He is all right.
