William Barber took the train south
bound for Oklahoma, ostensibly to
look up a business location. Both his
wife and son received letters from him
from Kansas City, stating that on
account OF family troubles they need
not expect to see him again.
Rumor has It that he he'd becoms
infatuated with niece OF his wife and
will be Joined by her at some point in
Oklahoma.
Mr.. Barber has been a prominen:
figure in the affairs of BOWS for over
twenty years. holding the offices d
school director and town councilman
almost continuously for the past tif-
teen years.
Three years ago he resigned his po-
sition as assistant cashier In the Far
mers' Exchange bank. He was a man
fairly well fixed. Leaving his family
his home and converting the rest OF
his property into cash he left for
parts unknown.
Our community is greatly shocked
and the affair is the principal topic
