TT. Dodge, Oct. 2S.-W. S. Garter,
travelling man from Chicago. who
stopped at the Duncombe house IN this
city, several days has disappeared anu
efforts to locate him have failed. His
baggage is still at the hotel. The last
seen Of him was Sunday night when
he inquired of the hotel clerk the To-
cation OF the nearest drug store.
The missing man came to Ft. Dodge
a week ago Wednesday and taking one
of the best rooms in the Dunconibe
house began canvas OF the leading
banks and business houses OF the city,
He was connected with prominent
business firm In Chicago, whose inter-
ests he was representing here, and
carried references from number of
the leading banks in his home city.
He was a very fine appearing man,
well dressed, and we'll educated.
His work took him to some Of the
best people of the city and all the
persons visited by him retained a very
favorable impression of him. The
name of the firm represented by him
is the Creditors Committee of e. r.
Dumont, representing number of the
leading banks of Chicago"
He worked last week in the city from
the time OF his arrival on Wednesday
up to Saturday night. On Sunday he
was sick all day and sent out for his
lunch. He arose from his bed at five
o'clock in the afternoon and from that
time during the evening he was about
the hotel, staying the most of the time
in his room.
At midnight he came thru the office
and on his way out addressed the
clerk: Where is the nearest drug
store?" On receiving the answer to
the question:, the door closed behind
him, and that was the last that has
been seen Of him.
Later it was discovered that his
room was unoccupied and that his bag
gage was still in it. Mail kept coming
to him right along thru the first days
Of the week, and the management OF
the hotel became very uneasy about
him. On Wednesday Mr.. Parsons wiz
ed to his house telling him Of the sit
uation and this morning he received
a letter in return stating that they
knew nothing of the mans where
abouts and asked for further detailed
information with regard to his disap-
pearance by return mail. They fur
Their stated that they had sent him a
draft last Friday and had heard moth
ing from him since that time. They
also said Carter was working on COM
mission and received only money that
was his due.
Investigations are still being pursu-
ed in the matter, but so far with a
complete lack Of success. The disap-
pearance of the man is so wrapped in
mystery that even theories are lacking.
One thing is certain. No one so far
as is known has seen him since the
hotel door closed on him last Sunday
at midnight. Whether he ever reach
ed any of the drug stores. or if he did
and finding them closed, wandered of
to some lonely spot, and was unable to
get away from it is unknown

ALLEGES SIX SEPARATE GRIMES
Jeaunette Claims to be the Disnheritod
Son of an Affuent Swiss Family and
Charges Prominent Men With Elk
tortion, Abduction, Forgery, Robbery
and Threats to Kill.

Des Moines. Oct. 2S.-Emil G. jean
nette. according to his own story is a
much wronged man and according to
the story OF several men whom he ac-
cuses. criminal caused sensation
yesterday. He filed six different
charges against George Berker and
w. B. Haines. of Des Moines, alleging
extortion. abduction. forgery, robbery.
threats to kill, etc.
Owing to Jeannette's past history the
charges have been taken under consid-
Grafton Inv Justice Duncan. On account
Ct the prominence Of the accused men
and the straightforward story they tell
of their connection with Jeannette, the
latter's tale is discredlted.
w. b. Hdines, in discussing the stu
alton last night declared that Jeanette
had simply filed the charges against
Benkert and himself to brighten them
from prosecuting him on the charge Of
forgery. He said that he had written
to Pury & Co, bankers at Neuchatel,
Switzerland. concerning Jeannette's
claims. The latter responded that the
father was man of affluence but had
long since disinherited the son. who
refused to abide with his wishes.
Mr.. Haines also claims to have In his
possession two worthless checks for $40
and $40 which Jeanette drew on the
bank of Van Meter despite the fact
that he did not have any money depos-
tied there. Mr.. Haines and Benkert
oashed both of them for Jeanette, be-
fore they discovered that he was
worthless instead of the heir to $50, 900
as he claimed.
Mr.. Haines questions the sanity of
Jeanette and says that 1t was on ac-
count of the latter that he wrote to
Switzerland to ascertain the where
abouts Of relatives who might aid him
out of the difficulty in which he has
placed himself.
Mr.. Haines alleges that Jeanette
first told the story Of his inheritance
to several al Van Meter from whom
he secured 10 Later he claimed he
wanted insurance and said he would
lay for it as soon as he received his
inheritance. He showed letters alleged
to be from relatives in Switzerland
which substantiated his claim.
Mr.. Haines claims that the $4,000
note which Jeanette alleges he gave
was only an application for an insur-
ance policy for that amount which was
long since turned down as undesirable.
Jeanette was for time employed
on Mr.. Haines' farm near Des Moines,
from there he went to the Savior min

sympathy and it was for her and the

MAJORITY in
FAVOR OF BONDS
FIRST WARD CITIZENS SHOW
STRONG DESIRE TO HAVE
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

The Drogressiveness of the First
ward voters is shown by the result OF
the vote for and against bonding the
district to the amount of $4,000 for
the purpose of building new school
house The returns show that ALI
votes We're cast in favor of the bonds,
while only % voted against them.
This shows that the people want the
building and that they will stand by
the board of education. It is very sell
dom that bonds are carried by such
a majority, although it seems strange
that % people are against what they
must see to be a necessity.
The new building will be started
next spring as soon as the present
term of school is completed. a spe-
cial effort Will be made to have the
building flushed for the term next
year.
The members of the board in the
meantime will visit other schools in
order to decide upon plans for the
new structure. It is now thought
hat ten room building will be nee
essary to accommodate the school |
