Council Bluffs, July 13.-Henry j.
Smith, a carpenter and financial sec
rotary of the Trades and Labor assem-
bly,. left his home at $40 Harrison street
Sunday morning, July o. and has not
since returned. His continued absence
has led his family and friends to fear
that he may have met with some mis-
hap, or in a fit Of dependency over
financial troubles taken his life. The
afternoon of July 5 Smith was seen
at the ball game at Lake Manawa but
since then no trace of his whereabouts
has been found
Until lately Smith had not been able
to secure steady employment at his
trade and his wife's illness. necessitat-
Ing serious surgical operation at the
Woman's Christian association hospital,
had involved him in financial troubles
and it Is said this caused him to drink
heavily.
on.the Fourth Smith went to the ball
game at Manawa, promising to return
home in time to attend his wife while
their daughter went to spend the after
noon with friends He failed to re-
turn at the time promised and his wife
reproached him. In answer to her up
braiding Smith said:
We'll, never mind. 1 won't be here
many more days for you to scold."
The next morning Smith arose earlier
than usual and sat on the porch Of the
house reading the paper. About s
o'clock he left the house and since then
his wife and daughter have not seen
him. Smith had been employed on the
office building being erected by DR..
Hombach on First avenue, but inquiry
there showed that he had not returned
to work there Monday, altho he had
not taken his tools away. Smith. his
wife states, had been in poor health
for some time past, and this. with his
other troubles. added to his despond-
ency. Men who are well acquainted with
him. however. scout the idea that he
may have committed suicide.
AS financial secretary of the Trades
and Labor assembly Smith turned over
the money in his hands each meeting
night Of the assembly to the treasurer
and as he was scrupulously honest, 1t
Is not thought that his accounts are
short, altho his books have not yet been
checked over.
Mrs. Smith and her daughter are left
entirely dependent upon the good will
of their friends. and unless Smith re-
turns home in a few days they will be
compelled to leave their present resi-
dence and go to the home Of Mrs.
Smiths father, east Of the city. The
missing man is about 80 years Of
age.
