Southern Part Of the State Are
Asked to Make lnquiries-Ray
Kelly is Seeking His Father, Moth
err and Two Brothers.

The officers of Laramie as well as
those of all the other towns along the
Union Pacific in Wyoming have been
requested to make inquiries concern
ing the fate that has befallen a family
of four persons. The request comes
from Ray Kelly. whose father and
mother and two brothers are lost. Mr..
Kelly is himself hardly Z. ag4. but he
is bent upon solving the mystery that
appears to be wrapped up in the disap-
pearance Of the family. He passed
through here a few days e and Is
now In Rawllns.
The family were travelling overland
from Georgetown, Colo. to Baker City.
Oregon. They left Georgetown. Colo
RADIO. in May and travelled as far as
Rawlins on their way to Oregon with
out mishap. When near Rawlins the
two sons were taken i'll and Mrs. Kelly
wrote to her son at Georgetown. telling
him Of their sickness. Money was for
wardsd to Green River, with the belief
that they would get it there, b It it was
returned to him. He then sent money
to Rawlins, but this likewise failed to
reach the family. Since that time Kel-
ly has inquired of all the towns along
the route the family would take to
Oregon and also made the entire trip
to Baker City on a wheel, but nowhere
could find the slightest trace of his
relatives after they had left Rawlins.
All the circumstances of the affair
point either to a wholesale crime or a
terrible accident, in which all the
members of the family of four per-
ished. The son says he will continue
the search until the mystery has been
solved.
