except on Tuesday from about a. m.
TO p. m. During that time Hines told
Cea that he met an old Fort Dodge ac-
quaintance with whom he spent the
day and whom he said was inclined to
be little sporty. Mr.. Cea says that
Hines did not show any signs OF hav-
ing been drinking and has no idea what
became Of the man. They were to-
gether continually from Tuesday night
until Thursday. On Thursday after
room they started home over the Rock
Island railroad. Hines soon made the
acquaintance Of man who claimed TO
have lived in the same town he did at
one time and the two, with John Cea
and another man, were sitting in the
smoking room of a chair car when
short distance on this side OF Joliet.
Hines and his new friend got up and
left the car That was the last seen OF
either of them.
Mr.. Cea thought little about his abb
sence until they were nearly to Rock
Island, when his companion failing to
return he made what effort he could to
find him.
The strange part OF the affair Is thai

It made 1t appear that the value of the
draft was in doubt In the mind OF the
one who endorsed 1t. AS Hines did not
have 5000 on deposit neither bank
would cash 1t and so the Chicago bank
was advised.
Mr. Hines has wife here. who has
been nearly distracted 20: several days
over the absence of her husband and
the uncertainty as to what had hap
pened to him.
