West Al1is Boy, Headed for Law
renee University, Disappears.
Since Arthur \. Ehlert of West Allis
started for Lawrence university on Oct.
u nothing has been heard of him. Presi-
dent Plantz upon receiving a letter from
the boys mother investigated and found
no such name on the enrolment list.

West Allis high school two years ago he
wanted to go to a university, but Frank
Ehlert, his father, was not wealthy
man. Arthur went to work for the Allis
Chalmers Company with the intention of
saving all his money. When he left home
he did not bid his parents good-by, but
pinned note on his bed telling his moth
er that he was going far away and would
send her money as soon as he could. He
told a friend that he was going to school.
A search at other colleges has proved I'M
