also belonged He had been injured
in a railroad wreck and was taken TO
the hospital for treatment How he

When Klockson disappeared he had
about 600 of the lodges money and
was ostensibly on his way to attend
the meeting of the grand lodge at
Leavenworth. He had large business
interests here and his family is
among the first in the city.
Klockson is not dangerously hurt
and will be brought home as soon as
possible. Large rewards for his iden-
tifcation had been offered by both
lodges.
The telegram received here said
that Klockson was penniless and was
\ unable to tell what became of the
mouey he carried from here.
klockson left home one September
afternoon to attend the annual meet
ing of the Knights of Honor grand
lodge at Leayeaworth. lie met sew
