missing from his home at Thornton
and also from his place of business on
Smiths Hill, since q week ago last Sat-
urday. The story told by his wife is that
she and her husband had a dispute on the
Saturday referred to and he left the house
vowing not to return. Mrs. Iffrate did
not min this very much, as her husband
had many OF the characteristics of his
race, being generally a good, warm-hearts
ed fellow, but at times disposed to be un-
reasonable. She waited patiently for his
return for a few days, and then she visit
ed the shop in a quiet way a few times
during the present and past week but
found ii locked.
She was disinclined to call on the police
for aid, but yesterday she became afraid
that her husband might be DEAD in his
shop, so she asked officer Gilfoil TO ascer-
tain whether or not the missing man was
in the shop. The officer, with the assist
ance of one OF the Burdick Brothers. en-
ployes, got into the cellar, under the cob
bler's shop, and then into the shop. MIR.

OF the shop had probably visited it since
he left his home, a week ago Saturday, for
all his tools of any value had been remoy-
ed.
