MYSTERY IS
DEEP AS EVER

No word of enlightenment has so
far come to the family of J. w. Clary
at Bartlesville, Okla, since his mys-
terious disappearance, and the fam
lily is still unable to explain his dis
appearance.
Mr.. Clary was member of the Ma
sonic lodge, and not only ara the
police and other officers searching
for him. but this matchless order is
taking the usual interest in the dis
appearance of a brother. He has a
son, j. Edward Clary, who is sup
posed to be somewhere in Oregon or
Washington at this time.
The Bartlesville Examiner in its
last issue refers to the matter in this
manner. otherwise there is no i'm
formation available:
Thursday evening Mr. Clary left
his bakery and went home, where he
shaved, took a bath and stated that
he was going away on business. Since
that time nothing has been heard
from him, and his family is unable
to explain his continued absence. Ru-
mors on the streets yesterday were
to the effect that he had met with
foul play at Caney; but he had not
even been seen at that place. The
chances are that he has been called
from his usual haunts by business
matters and will return soon."
