Nicola. Feb. 3.-Among the numerous
cases of mysterious disappearance of
Iowa people which have been reported
the past few months, none bid fair to
remain as impenetrable mystery as
does that of the disappearance of G.
w. Chapman. from Emmetsburg, which
occurred December 20, last.
Mr.. Chapman formerly resided here
and sister, Mrs. A. Knight, still a
resident of this vicinity, and a number
of other relatives, have been actively
engaged with the sorrowing wife and
father, who resides at Farragut, in an
unsuccessful search for the missing
man, employing and exhausting every
known means in the search.
There was positively no reason why
Chapman should wish to absent him
self from his family" said a member
OF the family. His home life was the
happiest, he was of domestic tenn
permanent naturally, and with an
abundance of this worlds goods was
apparently a most happy and content
ed man, and that this was true we are
assured He was little past forty
years of age and in the best of
health"
The last seen Of Chapman, so far
as the Investigations have disclosed,
was on the afternoon of the day men
toned There is a saloon, restau-
ha in, oIn rrnYirOit "
to each other and the person who
saw him last is uncertain whether he
entered the saloon or one Of the other
places mentioned, but states positively
that he was observed walking into one
of these places AT that point in the
investigation all trace of Chapman
was lost.
Chapman was known to have sew
eral hundred dollars with him on the
day of his disappearance. The MEM
bers of the family have become con-
WINGED that he was either drugged and
murdered or in some other manner was
disposed of. This is the only conclu-
sion they have been able to reach.
The suspense and anxiety is telling
on the bereaved wife and other rela-
tiyes and the slightest hint of his
whereabouts, either dead or alive
would come as a relief to their over
wrought minds.
