man in the office Of c. P. Turner in the
Phoenix block, has been missing since
Friday night and his friends do not know
whether he has left the city or whether he
has met with foul play. His hat and
pocketbook We're picked up in an alley
at the rear of the Victoria hotel Ninth
street and Nicollet avenue, Saturday
night, and the police fear foul play.
&. Mr.. Eastman was last seen by friends
when he left his office in the Phoenix
block Friday afternoon to go to the pub
lie library. When he did not return home
Friday night, his family was greatly wor-
RED. They thought it was possible that
he had been called away on business,
but when Mrs. Eastman received the hat
and pocketbook yesterday morning, she
felt certain that her husband had met
with foul play.
= AS soon as the finding of the. hat and
pocketbook was reported to police head
quarters, Chief of Detectives Captain J.
Fl. Doyle and several plain clothes men
began search of every basement in the
vicinity in hopes Of finding the man or
some clue. Every effort, however, was
in vain. . -. U.s. - :.
No motive can be given for the mans
disappearance. The officers think he has
either been murdered or that, stunned by
blow from highwayman and in state
OF bewilderment he has wandered away.

where he was engaged in the hardware
business. He is about 40 years of age, {
