AN OFFICER MISSING.-It was
learned here yesterday that Deputy
Sheriff Lee Hobbs, of Graham county,
disappeared over n week ago under pc
culiar circumstances, and has not
since been heard from. He saddled up
his horse and told an intimate friend
that he was going away on n little
business. and asked him to say moth
ing about it for three days. There
was nothing strange in the request
when his official business was taken
into consideration. But as the days
went by and nothing was heard from
him. an investigation of his books was
made and he was found to be about
$500 behind. That need not have caused
him alarm. however. as he had many
friends who would willingly have ad-
Vanced the amount. 1t is therefore, be-
lieVed. that the man has become fnen-
tally unbalanced through worrying
about family affairs. His sister was
killed some months ago by her husband,
and Mr.. Hobbs has never been the
same man since the tragedy.
