Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 2O.-Up to noon
today the mystery of the disappear
ance of Virgil White, son of Fred
White, the former candidate for
governor on the democratic ticket, had
not been solved AS reported in the
dispatches yesterday( it is believed he
has been drowned in the river while
canoeing. Young Whites absence was
first noted Monday morning, when he
failed to return to his rooms and by
the finding of AN overturned canoe
near the river bank. Underneath the
floating canoe were discovered several
articles OF clothing identified as belong
ing to him, and as he was known to
have started on a canoeing trip up the
river about o'clock Sunday night, the
general supposition is that he met his
death by drowning.
A diligent search is being made for
the body. Dynamite has been used in
an effort to float it, but thus far with
out success.
His father, Fred White, of South
English, arrived in Des Moines last
night at 1910 o'clock over the Rock
Island and will take charge of the
searching parties, who worked until
late last night to discover the body
of the unfortunate young man. Mr.
White was naturally deeply crushed
by the sudden blow which had fallen
upon his family and had but little to
say concerning the affair. He is con-
fident, however, that his son, If dead,
came to his death thru accident.
The last seen of Mr.. White was
about o'clock Sunday evening, when
he left the home Of Miss Della
University avenue, after having spent
the larger part of the afternoon in her
company at Waveland park. He had
been light-hearted and in the best of
spirits all afternoon, and on leaving
Miss Thompson had signified his inten-
ton of spending the evening on the
river, saying that he wanted to practice
canoeing, so he could enjoy the sport
this summer.
Graduate Of Drake.
Virgil White is a graduate of Drake
University, where he was prominent dn
athletics, and since his graduation has
been treasurer of the Drake University
Athletic Association. He has been
practcing law in Des Moines and was
to have argued motion for new trial
court Monday morning, and when he
failed to appear at his office in the
Good block at the usual time, sus-
picion that something was wrong sug-
gested itself to Messrs. Hume and
Hamilton, with whom he had his Of
flee. He is punctual in his habits and
an inquiry was instituted which re-
suited in the discovery that he had
not been seen at his boarding house
since the previous evening.

cred so very bright and made some
simple remark, which his father, who
happened to be in bad humor, hap
pened to overhear. He picked up a
very heavy cane and hit the boy sew
eral blows over the head and face,
knocking out three teeth and brllising
his body considerably. Yesterday
morning the boy was brought to town
by some friendly neighbors and filed a
warrant against his father. Mr.. Mat
hews has been guilty of beating his
sons quite frequently whenever they
did not suit him.
His trial will probably be held to-
day in the Justices office The boy is
being taken care of this day in the
sheriff's home but will probably be
sent to the county home where he can
receive better treatment
