law. This gentleman suggested that the boy might be in Bessemer. where Mir. Smith resided at one time; or if not there. at Pratt City. Inquiries of the most dili- gent kind had been made in both of these places, but no one seemed to know any, thing of the matter, nor could anyone sug- eest probable theory for Elmer's sudden disappearance. The boys father says that Elmer may have run away, with the inten- ton of trying to make living for him. self, and says that if he knew this was the case he would be satisfied
 "There was nothing between us that would cause Elmer to leave in an angry mood" said the old man, as his eyes filled with tears 'iHe was a good boy and l always treated him kindly and consider ately."
 MT Smith gave the following description of the boy at the time he left the tent:
 He had on blue overalls and blue cap, together with a percale or calico shirt, badly soiled and little ragged at the el- bows. The trousers were of grayish brown color, and he was without shoes. He is 12 years and months old, and weighs between sixty and sixty-five pounds, being very small for his age, though tough and Rlry.
 The police department was notified on Wednesday, and have been actively at work on the case, which is exciting much interest all over the city, but no tangible clue has been discovered.

Suspicious a White Man

'There is another man I suspect very strongly of having hand in the disappear ance-a white man, too. He doesn't live far from here and we have had some trouble over our children. The last time we had any words my boy had traded a box of bluine to this mans son for a hoop, such as children love to roll. keeping 1t in motion with a stick. The other boy didn't like the trade and wanted to rue back as 1t is called. Elmer refused to rue and the other boy ran to his home and told his married sister that Elmer had imposed on him. She at once came to where my boy was, took the box of bluine away from her brother and threw 1t in the branch near by. Then she took the hoop from Elmer and gave it back to her brother.
 "A week afterwards the two boys met again, when the other boy cursed Elmer severely. Heretofore he had stood all this cursing. because. as he explained to me, the other boy wouldn't fight like man, but would lay down and cry like baby and he hated to fight him when he acted that way. But on this occasion he couldn't stand it any longer and he gave him a sound whipping.
 ''I suppose the boy went home, and told his father all about it, for the next morn- ing I received visit from the gentleman He came clustering into the little yard which surrounds my tent, and inquired, in very offensive tones what kind of business I was conducting. I replied very politely that he knew as well as l did. Then he began to curse and abuse me. I finally got up and got handful of rocks. Then I told 1o,+ at a what I could do with the assistance of the rocks. He got off some little way from the tent and yelled al me that if he ever caught either me or the boy away from the tent he would kill us.
 "I hoped that the incident was closed, but on the next day his married daughter came to the tent and poured forth such a torrent of curse words at me as I never heard from the lips of a man before, much less a woman. She threatened to get up a mob and burn my tent to the ground and mur- der my son and me. l told her that I re- spected lady when she acted as such, but that when she acted like man she must expect the same consequences. I or dered her off, on pain of punishment and she finally left, cursing me as far as | could see her
 Another one of my neighbors, who saw 1 how was being persecuted, offered me the loan of a gun, but I refused; for I knew that if I was to get into any trouble with
 this crowd I couldn't control my temper the next time and would kill one of them l No Piau,ible Explanation l MT. Smith said that none of his relatives , had offered any possible explanation of 1 the disappearance, except his brother-in-

DISAPPEARANCE OF
 ELMER SMITH Still a Mystery to the Police
 and Parent. NO PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION Lads Father Inclined to Theory ofFoul Play, and Suspects Two Persons With Whom He Had
 Had Trouble
NO PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION

No traces have been found of little El- mer Smith, the boy who mysteriously dds- appeared from his fathers umbrella repair tent Tuesday afternoon. His father, pale and haggard from his constant search, talked to a reporter yesterday in regard to the case, but said ne was puzzled. "I can find no possible clue" he said. 'Elmer left my tent Tuesday afternoon about o'clock, saying, Father, will be back before dark He had to go only about mile and should have made the trip there and back in an hour or hour and a half at the most. He didn't return, and waited patiently until o'clock. Then could stand the strain no longer and started out to look for him. I have been searching for him since that time, but so far there has been nothing to reward me-"
 MT. Smith first thought the boy had de- cided to go to his grandma ther's and went there immediately, but the family had seen nothing of him. Then the distressed father came back by the tent, thinking that the boy might have returned in his absence, but again he was disappointed.
 'I still did not give up all hope," he said, ''but took the path l knew the boy had followed, and went to the house where he had gone to deliver some work which l had just finished He had not been seen uy any one along the way, and I have received 10 tidings from him since"
 Suspects Foul Play
 Mr. Smith was asked if he suspected foul play, and, if so, who he thought was re- sponsible for the disappearance. He hes itated an instant and then replied:
 Well, yes there is good ground for me to suspect such thing from two sources. On two different occasions the boys life has been threatened The first was by negro merchant. On several occasions I have had some trouble with the negro. On the last occasion he sent a clerk to my tent with a wagon umbrella, asking that re- pair it immediately, so that it would be ready for him by o'clock the next morn- ing. This was only a few days ago. I neglected some of my work to oblige the negro, and when he called the next morn- ing about 6:30 the umbrella was repaired and ready for delivery He asked me what 1t was worth. l told him that I wouldn't charge him but 25 cents. He at once be- came furious, cursed me and said the work was only worth dme
 T argued with him reasonably and ex- plained that it was worth at least a quar- ter, as the price of heavy canvass had ad- vanced, to say nothing of the high express age. Then he became contrary and tried to tear the repairs I had made to pieces. l struggled with him, refusing to turn the umbrella loose until he had paid me for it. When he saw that I was determined, he gave up and paid me the price of the re- pairs; but he did not leave before cursing my son and me to every vile name he could think of and repeatedly threatened both of our lives During the struggle between us he managed to throw me to the ground from the effects of which my body is still slightly bruised.
