CASHIER MISSING.

Foul Play.

NEW YORK, Oct. l7--No trace has
yet been found Of John Gunther, the
missing messenger of the Lafayette
Trust Company Of Jersey City, who dis
appeared Monday with $4,000 worth of
checks and 1875 in gold which he was
directed to carry to bank. Late yes
terday the checks were returned to the
bank by express but Gunther and the
gold are still missing
A remarkable feature Of the case Is
that Gunther delivered to the First Ma

morning. The bank officials who think
Gunther is the victim Of foul play, say
he could just as easily have made off

BECAME SEPARAT L ID
FROM PARTY OF CON
TINENT TOURISTS
AFTER MANY ADVENTURES
Drifts Into MarSeilleS Where
He Awaits Ownership.
(By Associated Presa.)

Paris, March IA boy of eleven,
more especially a sharp American boy.
does not strike one as being easily
mislaid Moreover, when so lost or
mislaid such a boy is even still more
unlikely to be unable to give an ac-
count Of himself Therefore there is
something that requires explanation
in a story that comes from Marseilles.
To the busy city on the Mediteran-
mean, it IS reported, a boy Of the type
and age described above has drilted
after many adventures, and now
awaits ownership. He is said TO have
left Baltimore with some wealthy
tourists. At Naples he became separ-
ated from his party, no one seemingly
having troubled about him. For
months he has been knocking about
the Continent, entertained, and sent
from one place to another by kindly
strangers, but never a word has he
h ard of his friends Anyone owning
the much-travelled youngster can
claim the property by communicating
