LOOKING FOR THE BODY.
Disappearance and Probable Suicide
of Watts HaydOck.


Los ANGELES, Dec. 6.-Reatives and
friends of Watts Haydock of Nordhoff,
Ventura County. are greatly worried over
his sudden disappearance. For several
days Hayd0ck had been visiting his
brother-in-law, James Teale of Long
Beach. Last night Haydock registered
at the Fettsrman House, Long Beach, and
was assigned to room. This morning a
coat and revolver were found on the
wharf and idenufied as having belonged to
Haydock. The chamber of the revolver
was empty. In the inside pocket Of the
coat was letter addressed to his wife.
The letter has not been opened. but Mrs.
Haydock has been notified of her hus-
bands disappearance. As soon as the ar
ticles were discovered on the wharf search
was made at the Fetterman House for
Havdock, but an examination of the mans
room disclosed the fact that the bed had
not been occupied during the night. Hay
dock had been melancholy and morose,
seemingly worried about something, but
did not divulge the nature of his trouble.
The supposition is that Haydock commit
ted suicide. Searching parties are now
looking for his body.
