well-knOwn proprietor OF the DemOnicO restaurant,
Saturday evening, yesterday and to-day. Mr.. Del

soothing medicine. On Saturday he took the
medicine and a few minutes later slipped away
from the attendant and left the house. He has not
been seen since. Police Captain Williams applied
all the skill acquired by long experience to the work
OF getting sonocue, but without 1t is not
