Was Earl Coburn Abducted,
Did He Run Away or
Get Killed
WATERLOO POLICE ARE HUNTING
A Fourteen Year Old Lad Has Been
Missing From His Home In Water
loo Since Friday ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Special to imes-Republican.
Waterloo, Oct. II. - Was Earl Co
burn, the 14-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. William Coburn, abducted or did
he run away? This is the question now
trying to be answered by the police of
this city. The parents are frenzied
with grief for they will not believe that
the boy ran away hence they fear foul
play or some untold accident has hap
pened to him.
Earl arose as usual Friday morning
and breakfasted with the family, and
started for the school house located a
mile and a quarter distant on the wa
terloo and Cedar Falls road. He left
home about o'clock and has not been
seen since. The lad disappeared with
out leaving a clue to his destination
and officers have been unable to lind
any trace of him. A friend OF the
family states that he saw The lad
trudging along toward school about
half mile from his home at $3.50, but
he did not report at the school mousse:
When the boy did not return home
at the usual hour, his parents began
wondering what was keeping him and
as the hours wore on, commenced to
worry over his prolonged absence. The
matter was reported to the police and
every effort is being exerted to To-
cate the missing boy. Mr.. and Mrs.
Coburn are loathe to believe that he
wilfully ran away, and are of the opin-
ion that he has met with foul play or
has been abducted.
Earl Church Coburn is aged fourteen
years, is of medium height, dark
complexioned, black eyes and dark
hair. When last seen he wore gray
coat, blue overalls, white shirt and
collar and gray cap. He had in his
possession a nickel watch with his
name engraved in the charm.
The Coburn family have lived here
only comparatively short tirne, and
have made their home in Westfeld adj
dition. The father is employed in the
Kemp Manufacturing Company's plant
in the capacity of night watchman.T The
relatives are nearly frantic over the
disappearance of the boy, and any in
formation that will lead to his where
abouts will be thankfully received.

A CLEAR LAKE ENTERPRISE.
Citizens Propose to Put In Heating
and Light Plant.

Special to Times Republican
Clear Lake, Oct. lie. #. Crane, +.
l.. Rogers and S. r.. Young, of Clear
Lake, have proposed to put in a gas,
light and heating plant for this city.
The subject was introduced at a late
meeting Of the city council but at that
meeting no action was taken, but it is
expected to be settled in the near fu-
ture. The matter of granting the fran
chise will be brought before the voters
in the near future. 1t is said that In
light and heating plants such as is pro-
posed can be operated in small towns
from 500 upwards with success and
that light and fuel can be supplied at a
low rate of expense. So far as public
sentiment is concerned there seems to
be no opposition to it, and the petit
ton to submit the matter to a vote will
receive nearly every signature. The
people alone must decide the grant
ing of the franchise when it is pro-
posed to place such plant in a town of
that size.
