Dr. Adler of Rochester, N.Y. Leaves His Hotel.

CARRYING A REVOLVER

He Leaves His Goods Behind Him in Ann Arbor and has not Since Been Heard of.

One of those unaccountable things hard to be explained, happened at an Ann Arbor hotel last week.

A well-dressed man appeared at the hotel, registering as "Dr. Adler, Rochester, N.Y."  He stated that he was a specialist physician, and wanted a room; that he expected to remain all winter- He had with him a trunk and two grips. For two nights he slept in the hotel but took no meals there. He was then seen, by a fellow guest, to go to his room and, after taking a revolver from his trunk, leave the hotel, since which nothing has been seen of him. While around the city he was reticent and had little to say to anyone, so that nothing of his past history is known. He was seen so little about the hotel so little that the clerk and waiters hardly know how he looks and beyond the fact that he appeared to be about 50 years of age, but little description can be given of him. He was evidently not on the beat as his trunk and grips, which have been examined, are filled with good clothes, such as befit a man of his profession, will many times pay for his stay at the hotel. One theory is that he was trying to escape the vengeance of some one; that he saw his pursuer in the city, got his revolver to defend himself and left town immediately to escape. Further developments are looked for.
