WHERE Is BALLARD?
lie Can Not be Found and is Wanted
Badly,

D. P. Ballard, the well known lawyer Of
this city, has been missing for some time
with funds of Geo. H. Thomas Post of the
G. A. r., Of which he was member. The
Post discussed the matter last night and
would like to have some trace Of Ballard
but that is more than his wife and daugh-
ters have. He was pretty deeply in debt
and when he went away over month ago
he gave no clue as to his future wherea
cumstances. Mrs. Ballard, a devoted wife
who has, it is said, had trouble with him
before, went to Vancouver their former
home to find some trace Of his wherea-
bouts. His two daughters, both young
ladies, left for the same place last evening.
too aggressive. He was disbarred three
years ago and re-admitted to practice by
the supreme court of the state.
