Youth Reported Missing.


Attorney Albert Sllers has asked the
police to make an effort to find Joseph
Shepherd, eighteen years of age, who dis
appeared from this city last Saturday
night. Inspector Boadrman was informed
that the father Of the boy resides in Phila-
delphia. A week ago last Saturday the at
torney met the young man in shot-shining
establishment near John Marshall place and
street, and was attracted to him because
of his pleasant manner and good appear
ance. The wearing apparel of the young
man showed that he had been in the mud,
and he explained that he had been thrown
from a freight train while on his way to
this city. He had left his home in Phila-
delpha, he stasted, because he did not care
to live with his stepmother.
The attorney took an interest in the
young man, and procured situation for
him. A letter written to his father brought
a prompt response, and several letters Of
recommendation. Shepherd remained at
work until Saturday night He then re-
ceived his pay and disappeared. Attorney
Sillers thinks something has happened to
the missing Philadelphia, but the police
have an idea that he has probably gone to
jamestown.
