Mr.. and Mrs. E. D. Thomas, Of This
City, Disappear From Chicago
HOTEL mysterious Affair.
AND NO TRACE CAN BE FOUND.
Clothes of the Young Woman Left Behind
Advanced Searching.

Reports sent out from Chicago state
that the police of Kenosha and Chica-
go have been asked to search for the
whereabouts of Mrs. Bessie Eppler
Thomas, of Chicago, who disappeared
from her rooms at the Hotel Princeton
in Chicago on the evening of October
10, under conditions that gave grounds
for belief that the young lady may
have met with foul play.
The story has caused quite little
surprise among the friends of Mrs.
Thomas in this city, but her relatives
here declare that no anxiety is felt in
regard to the young woman. Mrs.
Victor Eppler. mother of Mrs. Thomas,
when seen admitted that Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas had left Chicago without the
knowledge Of her relatives in the city
and that a private detective had been
employed to look for the young couple,
but she insisted that no report of the
matter had been made to the Kenosha
police, and that Mrs. Thomas had been
located with her husband in Mexico
several days ago.
Every effort was made to suppress
the facts, and when Chief of Police
Timme was seen he asked to be ex
cused from talking of the case. Not
withstanding these statements, the
search for Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas is 60
ing materially on both in Chicago and
Kenosha. Chief Timme admitted
under protest Wednesday night that
no trace of the young woman had been
secured and that renewed efforts were
being made to obtain clue to her
whereabouts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas were married
year ago and after a short residence
in Chicago they came to 6enosha and
made their home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Epp1er on Prairie avenue. Several
months ago the couple went to Chica-
po and took apartments at the Hotel
Princeton. Mrs. Thomas sent regular
letters to her mother Until the 10th Of
last month and when the letters ceased
coming Mrs. Eppler went to Chicago
to look into the matter.
A call at the hotel discovered the
fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas had
left the hotel on the evening of the 10th
and had not been seen since. The
clothing belonging to the well-known
young lady was, found in the room and
this fact gave rise to the theory that
the young woman might have met
with foul play.
A private detective was at once en-
gagged on the case and when he failed
to make any Roadway Mrs. Eppler re-
ferred the matter to the Kenosha po-
lice. It was thought possible that the
couple had gone to Mt. Claire, COL, to
visit sister of Mr.. Thomas, and Chief
Timme sent a letter to the officials
there asking their aid in the search.
There was no trace of the couple at
Mt. Claire and the actions Of the par
ties connected with the case seem to
indicate that it is very mysterious
one. Mrs. Eppler and the other rela-
tives and friends of the missing couple
are decidedly worried over the matter
and renewed efforts are being made to
locate them.
