Mysterious Disappearance.

S. B. Deupree, cashier of the Bank
of Ellinwood, disappeared in some
what mysterious manner on the even
ing of the 18th of July, and up to the
present time no clue to his where
abouts have been obtained. He in
company with DR.. Dunn went to Flor
ence on the date above named, and in
some manner the two became separa-
ted. Not being able to find him, Mr..
Dunn took the next train home, sup-
posing him to have arrived on the
train the night before. All the books
and accounts of the bank, together
with the money in the safe have been
examined, and as shown by the state
rnent in this issue, were found to be
correct to a cent, which makes his
strange disappearance the more mys-
FERROUS, and as he had quite considr
cradle sum of money on his person,
his friends believe him TO have been
foully dealt with.-Erpress.
Up to the time of going to press no
word has been heard of or from him.
Various rumors have been started
one of which was to the effect that his
dead body had been found near Ly-
ons, another that he had been seen at
Kansas City, and was on a big drunk;
other rumors were circulated as to the
condition of his affairs in Ellinwood.
None of the above stories, however,
are properly authenticated.
