DAVID MUNRO IS MISSING,
An Insurance Man Who Cannot
Be Found.
He Went OH Spree and Has Not
Come Back.
An Old Resilient or the City Il Said to
to Have Disappeared = The
Note He Left.

e David Munro, an insurance agent,
who has an Office at l21 South Broad
way, has been missing since last We'd
nesday morning. The case is myste-
rious one.
Munro was an old resident of this
city, having been in the insurance busi-
ness here for years. He was held in
high esteem by those who knew him,
and was always looked upon as a sue
osssful business man. Despite these
good qualities, however, he is said to
have allowed himself OF late to indulge
too freely in the use OF liquor.
II Last Wednesday morning about
o'clock Munro is said to have been
v found on Esst First street in state of
intoxication. He was taken to the
& police station, where he deposited So.
. After his release that day he went to
his room in the Francis lodging house.
S22 South Spring strees, and wrote some
letters. one OF which was left with his
bookkeeper. Mine limerick.
A. Hoist. proprietor of the place. says
that Munro was not in his room after
O'Clock Monday night. He left a note
on hook to the effect that he would re-
tatn soon. nothing elee as to his inten-
tions being found in the room. A peculiar
feature OF the affair 10 the fact that
Munro took a blanket from the bed,
though for what purpose remains to be
seen. All his clothing and other effects
were left undisturbed.
The contents OF the note to the book.
keeper is contradicted by those who saw
it. Miss limerick stated last evening
that the letter was to the effect that she
was to go ahead in conducting the af-
fairs OF the Office until his return, which
: would be in q day or two. She says
Munro was suffering from o eevere at
tack OK la grippe and was going to take
q short rest. She denied that the let
ter related to Munro's despondency, or
that he did not care to live longer.
An officer looked into the case yester-
dsy, but found no clue that would lead
to the discovery Of the missing mans
: whereabouts. No theory was advanced
by the police, and even his friends are
et lose to account for it at all.
1t is fact that he has not shown up
at his room for several dsys, and it is a
fact that he could not be found in the
city yesterday.
Agentleman in the same Office as
Munro answered the question as to his
whereabouts by saying that he was out
OF town for few days. 1t was his
opinion that Munro had gone to Ven
tura county to do insurance among the
bean farmers, as he had heard Munro
express himeell as wanting to make a
trip for that purpose.
Others are OF the opinion that he has
secured room in remote part of the
city and will be all right in few days.
Whatever the result may prove to be
the case will be anxiously watched by
Mr.. Munro's many friends.

TRIBUTE TO PLATT wICKs.
From Chief Justice Reed Of the United
States Court Of Private
Land Claims.

Judge Joseph r. Reed, who for
twelve years served as judge of
the Thirteenth Judicial district in
Iowa and who was also judge of
the Supreme court of that state for
a term of six years, later served a
term in congress and is now chief
Justice of the United States court
of private land claims, writes the
Chieftain under date of October 9
the following very complimentary
letter concerning Hon. Platt
Wicks and his eminent fitness for
the office of judge of the Tenth
judicial district Of Colorado.
COUNCIL BLuFFs, IA, October 9, 1888.
PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN. l see by
the Chieftain of the Sd inst. that
Hon. Platt Wicks has been placed
in nomination as the Republican
candidate for district judge of the
Tenth judicial district of Colorado.
I have not the slightest disposition
to mingle in politics, either in Col
orado or elsewhere. I can not re-
ATdlH, uoweNoI, rum cApAooo1AS
the qualification I feel over this
recognition of an old neighbor and
friend. It was my fortune for
nearly twelve years, to hold the
position of the Thirteenth judicial
district of Iowa, in which Mr..
Wicks resided, and during all that
time he was engaged in the active
practice of his profession, and I
had abundant opportunity to take
the measure of the man. I always
regarded him as man of learning
in his profession, and I know that
he was a very industrious and
painstaking lawyer. In both his
professional and private business
he was unusually successful. The
only instance of bad judgment on
his part was when he turned his
back to Iowa-which is Gods
country-and cast his lot with the
"wild and woody west" But that
is question upon which well
meaning men might differ.
Very respectfully,
JosRPH r. REED.
