yeaT 1924 He was a son OF William

GRAFTON, W. Va, Nov. 81. h.
Deyers. who resides near Grafton, IS
missing and It is believed he is a sui,
eide. A note was found in one OF the
unused coke ovens at Hferra, some
miles cast of here, stating that he had
gone in debt and intended to do away
with himself. His cap and a pair OF
shoes were found later, together with
a Baltimore and Ohio pass, issued to
him as conductor on the third divl.
sion Of the road. picket book and
some other effects.
A thorough search was made, hut
the miners there could find no trace of
the man and it later developed that
he had left Grafton Thursday morning
for the purpose of paying a visit to his
fsthir sheck Devers, near ReedsviIle.
in Preston county. Anether note was
found addressed to his wife, Mrs. sus
anna Devers, who resides a short dis
tance east of Grafton, and the note
has been forwarded.
After thorough search the remains
OF the man coull not be found and II
then dawned upon the miners that
he may have jumped into one cf the
blazing coke ovens. These are being
thoroughly searched in an effort to
discover some remains of the missing
man.
Devers was hurt in slight railroad
wreck ON the Cranberry grade, east
of here. about six weeks aso,-an.l
since that time he had been idle. It is
supposed that this unbalanced him
mentally.
