has come to Colorado City 10
ferret out the secret of his brothers
mysterious disappearance nearly hve
months ago from the mining camp Of
Coaldale, near Canon City.
Christopher Atkinson, or Chris, as
he was known TO the miners with
whom he worked, dropped out of sight
on the night OF last November 1th and
has not been seen or heard of silce.
All efforts of Robert Atkinson TO To-
cate him have only served by deYel-

stances to strengthen the belief b. has
held from the first his brother
was murdered and the body buried IN
an out-of-the- way place that may for
ever hide him from human sight So
certain is Robert Atkinson OF this that,
according to his attorney, John r.
Watt Of Colorado City, he has asked the
district attorneys Office at Canon
City to take cognizance of the cas-
While an investigation was started
several weeks ago, IL has not resulted
in any arrests being made. The dls-
trict attorneys office has taken the po-
sition that it cannot cause an arrest
to be made for murder unless the body
OF the supposed victim can be deliY-
cred. Accordingly Attorney Watt
mailed from Colorado City a circular
letter, to thirty-five sheriffs Oh the
western slope and in the immediate VI
cinity of Canon City. asking them 10
take up the investigation with view
to finding he body.
Motive for murder exists. according
TO Attorney Watt. There is supposed
to be a woman in the case, and Akin
son is said to have had about $500 in
the bank at Aspen when he dtsAp-
peared.
His check for $3.50 in favor Of a

after he disappeared said Attorney
Watt. This check. We are toid, Is
now in possession of the distriCJ at

for the Windy City to make a personal
search for the aged man ana induce
him. in the event he is found to re-
turn to his home at Limon, Colorado.
Wambaugh, who has been a widower
for twenty-five years. and who is re-
puted to be worth $4,000, left his
ranch at Iimon about two months ago
and came to this city. About two
weeks after arriving here. If is said.
he met the Fenlan woman While on
a sightseeing tour through he red

captive to her charms. He proposed
marriage to her after an acquaintance
OF only a few days and she accepted
him suggesting that they go to Chi
cago to have the ceremony performed.
stating that she had wealthy relatives
there, and that she herself owned sew
eral houses along the Lake Shore
drive, which were worth considerable
money.
On the train during the trip male
friend of the woman invariably joined
the couple at meaNimcs. and the trio
ate sumptuously. Wambaugh always
paying the bill The conductor became
suspicious of the woman. and when
she induced the aged man TO give her

purpose of purchasing wedding finery,
and part of which she later turned
h,r -. h., nd dn6
that Wambaugh was the victim of 4
clever bunco game. He teegraphed
ahead to the Chicago police. informing
them of his suspicious. and on the ar
rival of the train in that city two detec-
tives were at the depot
After leaving the train the Fenlan
woman entered a cab with Nambaugh
and ordered the driver to take them to
the marriage license bureau. The de-
tectives followed, and just as War
baugh stepped up to the counter 20
apply for the license. they placed the
woman under arrest. Wambaugh &C
companied her to police headquarters,
protesting against her arrest.
Despite the fact that Captain OF De-
tectives O'Brien recognized her as \
notorious character, Wambaugh re-
fused to believe she had intended to
DunCO MIN out Ol lHe HltHtN he Hsi'i
given her. and when the case came
up for trial few days later, and the
judge dismissed the woman for lack
of jurisdiction in the case, he immedf-
ately married her.
Several days ago the couple went
into clothing store. where Wam-
baugh purchased pair of trousers
While they We're being fitted he gave
the woman SO 900 to hold for him; but
when he returned after the fitting had
been completed she was gone, and
with her the money.
Wambaugh reported the matter to the
police, but since that time he has
dropped out of sight, and ii is feared
the woman and her male friend have
made away with him. Advices from
Chicago are to the effect that brother
of Wambaugh will leave his home in
La Porte, Indiana, to assist the son
in the search for his father.
