THINK MISSING Man
WENT To Nj XICO
He Told Clerk at Washburn's Store
That He Was on ii Way 10
Take Position.

AS a, result of The Citizens story
yesterday telling of the mysterious
disappearance last Saturday of DR.. q.
NJ Bohannon a dentist, clues develop
ed last night which may lead to the
discovery of his Whereabouts. Some
one who read The Citizen telephoned
the police late last night that Bohan-
non left the city Saturday evening for
Flagstaff, Ariz. This, however is
thought doubtful, as Bohannon was
in the clothing store of +. l.. WASH
burn company, South Second street at
9 o'clock Saturday night and said
that he was going to Mexico. He
told a clerk there that he had a po-
sition in Mexico and would probably
be absent from the city sixty days He
made purchases of clothing, indiCat-
ing that he intended making a trip.
According to the records of the local
ticket office several t.1kets were sold
Saturday to Ell Paso and several to
places in the vicinity of Flagstaff, but
none to Flagstaff.
When seen at O'Clock Bohannon
seemed to be entirely rational. The
strange feature of this dbsa ppearance
is that he did not tell any of his
friends he was going away and took
no extra clothing from his room a 3
I12i South Edith street, where he had
room rent and board paid in ad-
vance.
Dr. Hope wired his father yes. r-
day and the message was delivered
to a Bohannon. who was eyi 'cnt y
not related to the missing man, as II
was not answered. The father Of tn
missing man is supposed 10 DC a
prominent physician of Indianapolis

ter OF ex-Governor Taylor. OF Ken

ROOSEVELT WON'T SIGN

BOUNDARY
President Returns Bill to Sen.

Atfixing His
Signature.
SENATOR AlTACaS
EXECUTIVES STAND
New Mexico Cams Only a Little
Land and No PoSIoiflCeS Are
Changed by Bill Posed
a Few Days
Ago.

Washington, Dec. 19.--The presi-
dent today returned to the Senate,
without his signature, a resolution
fixing the boundary line between
Colorado and New Mexico, with a
message giving as a reason the re-
port of the attorney general to the
effect that the bill made material
changes in lines, shifting five post
offices from one jurisdiction to an
other,
AS soon as the message was read,
Senator Teller declared that no inn
portant changes were made by the
resolution as a line was established
in 1861, following the 9th parallel
very closely. Changes of location he
said, uid not extend quarter or a
half mile from the location gener-
ally recognized.
II do not think" said Teller, that
anybody VINO knew anything about
the subject could have informed the
presid
The effect of the bill, he said, was
merely 10 determine where the line
actually was in conform ty with the
previous action. Neither Congress
nor the state of Colorado would have
a right to change it without consult
ing each other.
