AS the efforts to find the missing man
with the order in his pocket, good for $40
in gold at Harry Clark's Clothing Store,
has proved unavailing up to now, Mr.. Clark
wishes us to give the following tip: "The
man with the order is business man and
walks down High and Church streets, and
as a rule goes up by the schoolhouses onto
the upper streets to his home. The man is
or has been prominently connected with
city affairs. If the man is not found before
II O'Clock at noon Christmas day Mr.. Clark
will turn the money over to some charitable
institution for the benefit of the worthy
poor"
