The ; death-bed mar miage. the death and the disappear ance ot the Glbaon will at the Battery virk HotL at-Aehevllle. make a ln- lereatlng study. - Young Glbaon, alck with tubercu losis, came to Aahevllle from hla home at Cincinnati, hoping that he might cheV the ravages of the dreaded dis cus. He had money, friends and de voted relatives, and the future wai trlght with promise for him. On bis arrival ln the Land of the Sky tie secured a room at the Battery rark Hotel and employed a lung specialist. But the Great White Plague, with Its tnerctleaa, relentless grasp, ha almost completed Its work. Glbaon was doomed and hla physicians bad told him so. It waa then that the hopeless Invalid'! (thoughts turned to fh Mlaa Henrietta Cecilia Wolf, the woman whom ha loved, had courted and became engaged to. A telegram, calling her to his bed-aide, rs-s sent to Providence. As quick as trains eouio snng ner ane came, to her lover. - ' fearing that he would never be any better Glbaon begged bla dance to marry him. but she urged him . to wait until he was 'stronger. Sat be Insisted and bis wUl prevailed. A license waa procured, and the cere mony . : performed. Oa that or the following day Gib son sent for a lawyer and a Justice of the peace and made a will, bequeath ing hla estate, valued at more than 1,0M6, to bla wife. Those who witnessed the execution of the will were: Mrs. aibeon, the lawyer, the Justice, and twe alck nurses, v The Bight following Gibson died. , Soon after the young fellow explr- mA arhH tile, tuutv wee DaMr nrenar- ed for removal, a search waa made .for the will. a Mr. Gibson bad not taken pesseaaloa of If. The lawyer, mHa A tlA . 1 1 .nil th iriBtlee, hA bad acknowledged It, were sent for, but they declared that the will waa left on the little table In the room. It was last aeea there by the officers, the widow and the nurse. Mrs. Gib son bad accompanied the lawyer and the masrlatrata out after the saner waa duly drawn and algned. The table on which the will waa left stood at aome distance from the sick bed and if Glbaon had desired to get it, he could not have done se ln bla feeble condition; be was to weak that he oould not turn himself in the bed. iiiviv mti, hv til m ,a t.i m rvum wio will could not have been destroyed Borne argued that Gibson had re considered his action of several hours before.-secured and destroyed the wllL This could not have been. Gibson waa physically unable to get out of bed and, then, there were no traoea of- torn paper left in or abont the room. A thoroush search waa made. The trunk of Glbaon and Ma bride were searched In vain, i.'very person, who had been present when the document waa made, made affidavit that he or aha knew nothing cf the will. Every crevice or crack In the house was examined, but no trace oL the paper waa found. The: que. lion, "What became of that wlUT" remains un answered. The disappearance of the ; Glbaon will la a mystery until this day, Mr a. Olbson cannot have It, for could ahe produce it aha would, have M.vOO.eoo instead of the paltry sum . cf llOO.Ott.
