Probate OF the Will of John Gratz Late
of Paris, Reveals an Unusual
Story Of Missing Man.
NO WORD SINCE CIVIL WAR TIME.
John Gratz left his Home in the Town of
Paris in 1860 and has Never Been Heard
of Since. May be Declared Dead.

John Gratz, the son of John Graft,
a former prominent farmer in the town
| of Paris, has been missing from the
parental home for the past forty
years and in that time no trace of
him has been found. This fact was
brought out by the probate of the
will of the elder Gratz in the county
court of Kenosha county, a few days
ago, and in order to have the settle
| ment of the estate regular an effort is
being made to find some trace of the
missing man or his relatives if he is
dead.
Hoping against hope that the son
would return to his native county, the
father waited almost to the day of
his death before he made his will and
when the son failed to return, he
made will in which the property
was divided among the other children
and heirs to the estate.
John is not mentioned in the will,
but James NORM who was one of the
witnesses to the signing of the will
stated that at the time the will was
made the father of the missing man
spoke of him and told the story of his
strange departure SO many years ago.
Grdtz was the eldest son of the fam
lily and in 1860, when he was about
twenty years of age, he decided that
he would go west to seek his fortune.
The Gratz family had resided in Paris
for many years, and the father had
opposed the determination Of the son.
However, there was no i'll feeling be-
tween them when the son left Kenosha
county.
A year later word was received
from the boy that he was doing well
IN the far west, but from that time on
no word was received. The father
started several times to search for
him but always without effect. He
seemed to believe that the boy was
alive, and insisted that he would re-
turn home sometime
During the war it was reported that
the boy had enlisted in one of the
Iowa regiments for service in the civil
war and had been killed on the field of
battle, but this report could never be
confirmed.
In order to remove any doubt of the
titles to the property left by Gratz, it
may become necessary to declare the
missing heir officially dead. The law
makes provision for such cases, and
when a person is missing for several
years without anything being heard
from him the court may in it's discre-
ton declare the person officially dead.
Judge S1osson states that in the
County court at the present time there
are no less than dozen cases similar
to the GSatz case, and no trace can be
found of any of the missing people.

Kansas C,ty,s convention Hau.

One Of the public buildings of which
Kansas City is justly proud, says the
Architectural Record, is the Conven-
ton hall. The present building occu-
pies the site Of the former building Of
the same general dimensions, which
was destroyed by fire on April A, 1900.
The Democratic national convention
was to meet in this building OH July
4 Of the same year, and this seemed al
most an impossibility. Before the
flames were eXtinguished on the old
building, however, new one had been
pledged, contracts made and in less
than ninety days from the date Of the
fire the new Convention hall stood on
the site Of the old one-a freproof
building, 1913 by 314 feet, with a seat
ing capacity for more than 10000 per-
sons, under steel roof which spans
