time, but he seemed to have recovered
from that, and on Tuesday was allow
ed 10 walk about without attendants.
The last seen OF him was when he was
walking north toward the upper end OF

peAred as completely as II swallowed
up by the earth. His wife and family
were In sore distress and sent every
where for tidlngs OF him, He was a man
above average height walked erect,
but would not attract especial attention.
So far as known he had not provided
for an absence from home and his ap-
pearance In any community would soon
attract attention He was found at Rob-
erts' brick yard,ReaF Bellaire, last even
ing, and was taken 60 his home.
The Bellalre steel plant Is now in full
operation IN all departments and with
business enough on hand TO insure
good run. All of the machinery In the
steel department is new and the rolls
are new, so that caution is used In the
operation. Besides the presence OF a
soaking pit and many other modern
features are new and the workmen are
not crowded until they get used to the
new appliances. But everything so far
is moving along smoothly and in or
der, and the product here will be almost
double what 1t formerly was when the
newness wears of. The second furnace
will also be started up and this mill viii

the same thing. The Bellaire Bottle
works Is running with an increased
force and Rodefer Bros. glass factory
