CAPTAIN GUTHRIE STILL ABSENT
His Family Exceedingly Anxious
and Unaware of His Whereabouts

Nothing has yet been heard from Cap
tain Jackson r. Guthrie, the yard con-
ductor of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac railroad, who disappeared
from his home. No. 1920 west Marshall
street last Monday. His family are ex-
ceedingly anxious concerning him. and
the police, at their request, are looking
for him.
Mrs. Guthrie said last night that she
knew of no possible reason for his 6b-
sence and she is greatly grieyed and dis
turbed by his failure to come home. We'd
nesday morning a report reached her that
he had been drowned, and she was much
distressed, but there was no confirmation
of the report.
The missing man drew his salary on
Monday, and the fact that he had a con-
siderable sum of money with him led 10
the suspicion that he might have met with
foul play. He is reported to have been
seen on Broad street Tuesday, but this
report lacks confirmation.

AmputatIon Necessary.

The ARDMOREITE is informed
that stone and brick contractor J d.
F. Brown, formerly of this place
but now of Davis, finds it necessary
to have leg amputated below the
knee. About a year ago he had
his leg injured by blow from a
stone hammer. This had never
gotten entirely well, and the other
day a further injury was sustained
on the same limb, and the belief
now is that amputation will be
necessary in order to save the limb
above the knee.
