MYSTERY UNSOLvED'
Disappearance of Emil Sunden,
Augustine College Student,
is Complete.
SUICIDE THEORY GAINING GROUND
Parents Say He Acted Queerly and
Objected to Coming Here
to School.

Since the disappearance at the be-
ginning of the present week of Emil
Sunden, the 16-year-old lad VINO came
here from Chesterton. Ind, to enter
Augustana college, tine authorities at
the school nave used every means in
their power to solve the mystery of
his whereabouts. and in vain.
No trace whatever has been found
of the missing lad, although the po-
lice of the three cities and of the sur
rounding towns have been at work ON
the case from the beginning.
1t seems that, having lost his left
arm. he would be sufficiently marked
so that he could scarcely nave es-
capped notice had he left the town by
any of the usual channels of travel.
and the impression is gradually gain
ing ground that he has made away
with himself
Parents Heard From.
His parents have been commune
Gated with and a. reply received from
them seems to support the theory of
suicide. They say ne acted rather
queerly before coming here and that
he was adverse to attending school.
So ii may be that. homesick and dis
heartened when he found himself
alone so far away from home, he de
termined to make an end of himself.
If he did so. there is not the slightest
clue to indicate what method he
for no one noticed him from
the time he was assigned to room.
Expenses Paid In Advance.
His expenses were paid till Christ
mas. the parents having sent the
money direct to the college authori-
ties. 1t is believed that the lad had
less than s. on his person.

In London an American, boasting Of

There's one thing in which this coune

this Ia nothing compared with some Of
the fogs we have around New York
harbor Sometimes the fog IS so thick
around there that It's n common thing
