trace of his movements could be found
for several days, but II has been learned
that he told one of intimates he intended
going TO Boulder, Col, and later to Cali
fornia, thence around the world to Paris
and New York.
Although he is said to have boarded q
west-bound train at Plainfield, this story
is not taken seriously by the family. who
believe Smith has met with foul play.

late Mrs. Charles l.. Fair and one OF the
claimants to the Fair estate, who was
supposed to have been missing from his
home In Newmarket, N. j., has turned up
