day. The report was circulated that he
had been drowned at Forest Lake. This
rumor was strengthened oy the finding
of his clothes in a drifting boat. Dill-
gent dragging of the lake has failed
to find his body. Il has come. to light
that he forged a mortgage for $1,000
on another mans property and that no
was in debt to fellow employees to large
extent. The supposition is that he has
decamped and resorted to the drown
ing report to ceyer his tracks. His wife

body has been abandoned.
