NEWS OF CENTRAL CITY
Advertiser Bureau,


 The failure to find the body of Otto Rauch- fus. whose reported drowning by his com panion yesterday was the talk of the day, has led to the offering by Sheriff Blackwell of a reward of $l5 for the recovery of the body. Rauchfuss. ''Skeets," as he was best known. had great many friends and the most of these are reluctant to believe that he deliberately took his life in the manner told by the man in the boat with him. "Skeets" did not take life seriously at best. If he had a care In the world he kept it to himself He worked that he might live and when he had amassed a sum sufficient to keep him going for a season he would not work for love nor money, He was an expert in his business and had all the work he could handle so long as he let drink alone
 That he might have fallen overheard or that he might have jumped expecting to swim out. being an sexpert swimmer, is thought probable by those who know him best. but they not reconcile with his temperament any thought of deliberate sui eide.
