appeared from his home and Office Satur-
day morning. and all efforts of the police
to secure a trace OF his whereabouts have
proved futile. Mr.. Firor was at mis- desk
at the baking company's office at the usual
hour Saturday morning. After remaining
there short while he placed a note on
his brothers desk in the same office and
walked out. When his brother, George
Firor, who is employed as assistant book

the note and was greatly surprised to find

mated that he was about to commit suicide

daughter OF Mr.. Charles Schneider, are
