LOOKING FOR MISSING MAN.
Local Police Requested to Aid in the
Search

E D. Wilson, an elderly man from An
drews, n c., visited Capt. Boardman at
police Headquarters yesterday afternoon
and asked that the policemen Of this city
do him the favor of looking for his son,
De j. Donald Wilson, a physician, forty
eight years of age, who disappeared from
here last Monday. The visitor was greatly
affected over the disappearance, and was
unable to control his feelings while relat-
ing his story.
''He had collie dog with him." the
father said. land wherever he is found
the dog is likely to be. He brought the
dog here and before he disappeared he told
friends how much attached he was to the
dog, saying 1t was all he had brought with
him from home"
Since his arrival in this city about five
weeks ago the dog was the constant COM
panion of the man. Almost everywhere he
went he took the dog with him. When he
left his boarding house last Monday the
dog accompanied him and his failure to re-
turn to the house excited the suspicious of
those with whom he boarded. The police
were asked to look out for him, and the re-
quest was made more forcible yesterday
afternoon when the father called upon
Capt. Boardman and repeated 1t. The miss
ing man was graduate of college in
Atlanta, Ga, and was a member of the
faculty prior TO the time that he removed
to Andrews.
The father says that the condition of the
son became such that he was unable TO
give proper attention to his practice. and
about two months ago. when bis wife suf-
fered mental ailment 1t caused the physi-
clan to collapse. Mrs. Wilson, he says, was
sent to Atlanta for treatment and later
was taken to Cincinnati, where she has a
sister The physician then came to this
city. thinking the change would benefit his
health. He was apparently getting better
when he suddenly disappeared. 1t is
thought that he may have wandered out
IN the country and been taken sick or that
he may have started for Cincinnati, think
ing he might see his wife. His father and
friends at 1898 NJ street, as stated, are
anxious about him, and the police are rem
dering what assistance they can.

Another highly satisfied patron who gave
his views was Mr.. w. NJ. Bailey, who
thought that Mr.. Gardner was the logical

not understand how it could be claimed
after the school had had remarkably sue
cessful history for seventeen years under
the MANAGEMENT of Mr.. Gardner that the
Institution had been without competent

A GREAT TREAT is IN
STORE FOR MONDAY NIGHT.

Probably the best entertainments
Laramie will have this season will be
those in the lyceum course, which op-
at the New Grand next Monday ev-
ening with the celebrated Slayton Jul
bilee Singers. THE greatest company
Cf colored artists that has ever ap-
peared here has been the universal
verdict of press and public wherever
this superb attraction has appeared.
They are unquestionably the ideal col.
ored artists of America, having given
over 1000 concerts to date. From Bos-
ton to Frisco they have appeared in ey-
cry large city, and in every first-class
lecture course, and they have been the
enc colored company thus recognized.
The same high standard of the past
will be strictly maintained the coming
season. They are ~uneXcelled and up
to-date in every way. New material is
always introduced as fast as 1t is found
necessary to keep up the standard Of
the organization. The company has
played more return dates than any
musical organization in the country,
and are recognized as the one and only
colored attraction. They give a varied
program, including the old-time jubi-
lees, as well as the up-to-date numbers,
and during the coming season will be
stronger and better than they have ev-
er been. Laramie musiclovers cannot
afford to miss this attraction.
Course tickets may be reserved at
the Bee Hive after 4 p. m. on Tuesday,
the price for the five entertainments
being $500. Single tickets on sale at
the Red Cross Pharmacy Saturday at
rs cents and 81.
