l.. L. Babb and several other Omaha men
were In the city yesterday hunting for

visited Manawa and made careful inquiries
In that vicinity, but could find nothing to
verify the rumor. A story that had a very
vague foundation was in circulation last
night that a man answering his description
was seen riding a wheel and going In the
direction Of Lake Manawa via the Wray's
landing road. This gave rise to the fear
that 1t might have been Robinson and that
he had gotten into the lake and was
drowned.
