Cafe Martin made an offer about ono
year ago of $500 to any Of his EN-

From August |. 1905, to January l.,
1906 thirty of his employees married,

youngsters were christened with
alarming rapidity-for Mr.. Martin.

Missing Bank Official Leaves Straight
 Accounts, Left to Seek New rome.

Texarkana, Jan. 4. The Tex arkana National bank received a letter today from it's bookkeeper, .C. U. Mullins, dated yesterday and postmarked at Fort Worth, Texas, fast night. He wrote a few lines, as he said, to let his friends know that he is not dead. He said, also, that he was going to look for a location in the far West, and he might write again after he gets settled. He failed to write to his wife or to even mention her name in the letter to the bank. His leaving home without notice had caused some fear that he had fallen victim of foul play. Mrs. Mullins ex- presses unbroken faith in her husband, though she is utterly unable to explain his conduct.
 Mullins is an alderman on the Texas side of town from the Sixth ward. At the bank today the statement was reiterated that his accounts were straight, with not a cent missing. Mul- lins father reached here from Ruston, La., today. He says he is unable to throw any light on his sons conduct.
