CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Walter Southgate,
the old-time theatrical advance agent,
who mysteriously disappeared from this
city in September last, has vanished as
completely as though the earth had
opened and swallowed him up. He was
universally known to the theatrical pro-
fesson, but although inquiries have been
sent to about every place in the United
States that boasts OF a place Of amusement,
not trace of his movements from the
hour that he was last seen can be found.
His wife and family, who are residents of
one Of the suburbs, are in great distress
over his prolonged absence, and, while
hoping against hope, are fearful that he
has met his death somewhere and been
buried as an unknown.
