Captain D. Troutman Disappearance

There have been no new develop
ments in case of Capt.D. Troutman, the
well-known steamboat man, who has
been missing for several days. Detec-
tive Cudihee, of police department,
and private detectives in the employ
OF Mrs. Troutman are still working on
the case, but not an atom of evidence
has been obtained. Mrs. Troutman
the missing mans wife, is almost
crazed with grief over the matter, and
Troutman's friends in marine circles
are utterly at a loss to account for his
disappearance. Capt. Troutman was
heavily involved in debt, and this
is claimed by some to be the
reason for his leaving town so sudden
