YAKIMA MAN HAS GONE

Adams, a comedy young school teach

They state that many persons kne"
that he had just returned from Alas

Their opinion is that some thug knew
this, FOLLOWED him, murdered him
and has hidden the body.
The theory is partly substantiated
by stories of persons who heard cries
for help in the northern portion Of
the city late Tuesday night or We'd

sidine DC the big mill ditch heard
