AIR OF MYSTERY IN
DISAPPEARANCE or SMITH

Aberdeen, s.. D.. Nov. 1s.-Where is
John A. Smith? Has he committed
suicide or has he left the city for new
pastures and incidentally new victims?
These are the questions the people Of
Aberdeen are asking themselves be-
cause a blacksmith, 35 years of age, is
missing.
Those who know him do not think
he has committed suicide, although he
left a note behind leaving a few things
to friends. AS most Of the articles were
purchased or credit. however, and none
paid for, the friends are not consoled
to any great extent. They woslld much
prefer h return of various sums OF
money they loaned the missing man.
Smith hired a horse and buggy and
drove into the country. Later, word
was received here that a horse had
been killed by a train; that the train
had been derailed and that the horse
answered the description OF the one
taken by Smith. Before this was re-
corded Smith returned to Aberdeen, Sc
cured a few articles Of apparel and his
blacksmith's outfit and disappeared
completely. That Is why many peo-
pie here are asking one another the
question: Where is Smith? %
