initiation exercises at the Woodmen
hall in Omaha Sunday afternoon, and
that night looked for him down at the
depot. Mr.. Hedges did not appear, but
Mr.. Wolf supposed he had decided to
wait and come home with Mr.. Kutz
Monday. AS stated above, Mr. Kutz
saw and talked with the missing man
Monday morning at Woodmen hall. Mr.
kutz left the hall to attend to a mat
ter of business before taking the train
for home No one, so far as known,
has seen Mr.. Hedges since that hour.
The Omaha police force and Wood
men officials have been looking for a
trace of Mr.. Hedges since last Wednes-
day but have found no clew of his
whereabouts since he left the Woodmen
headquarters Monday morning.
c. E. Hedges of Larken, brother.
was called to the city Thursday and
left last night for Omaha. Neither
friends or relatives of the missing
man can advance any theory at all for
his disa ppearance. He had lived here
in Topeka for six or eight years and
was we'll known to many friends. He
was regular in his habits, of jovial
disposition, and seemed to have had a
fine time on his trip and during his
stay at Omaha. He has no relatives
or friends at st. Joseph or Kansas
City, Mo-, whom he would have been
apt to stop and visit with on his re-
turn nome and besides his work at
the church was pressing and he would
not have been apt to stay away volun-
tarily for a week on account of the
anxiety such act would cause his wife
and friends. Mrs. Hedges is prostrat-
ed with grief and feels sure that her
husband has been murdered for the
money he carried in his pockets.
Mr.. Hedges is member in good
standing in the Woodmen Of the
World and Odd Fellows lodges of
this city and is 26 years old Mr..
Wolf sent duplicate of the photo
graph printed above to the Omaha au-
thorities last night.
Z John M. Hedges, a brother of the
missing man, was killed at Los An
imas. Col. year ago by stranger
who was crazed with drink.

day, May 81. Mr.. Wolf returned Mon
day and Mr.. Kutz Tuesday. but no
word has been heard from Mr.. Hedges
nor has he been seen or heard from
since last Monday morning when Mr..
Kutz saw and talked with him at the
Woodmen headquarters at Omaha. His
wife, brother and friends among the
local Woodmen are worried about him
and fear that he has met with foul
play in the Nebraska city

er:; surmounting station houses or at
advantageous points that would best
enable them to detect a blaze in the
vicinity in order that the department.
might respond promptly.
Most Of the mail trains entering Chi.
caso are behind their schedules. The
heaviest sufferers were the through
trains from the North and the South
and the Southwest
Only one train. hoewver, was report
cd absolutely lost That was the Pa
