working for the friends of the missing
lawyer and they are today following
several clues.
This morning q telephone message
was received from Glencoe stating
that man answering the description
of Judge Clarkson had been seen in
that city on Monday and following
closely was one from Highland Park
which declared that a man supposed
to be Clarkson had been seen in High
land Park at six clock Monday
morning. It was declared that he
walked into drug store there and
bought glass of soda water and af-
ter drinking it hurried from the place
and started toward the west. The
description given both at Glencoe and
Highland Park so closely TALES with
/ the description of Clarkson that the
| friends and relatives believe that their
| theory that he is wandering along the
lake shore is the correct one and they.
believe that he may be found within
the next few hours or at least the
next few days. The clue that led
| them to believe that he was wander
ling along the lake shore has been fol-
lowed since last Saturday afternoon,
but until this morning the friends of
the missing man had given it little
credence. This clue was first found
| in a telephone message from a store
keeper at the village of Winthrop
Harbor. This man stated that man
supposed to be Clarkson had come into
his store at an early hour Saturday
morning and had purchased a small
quntity of cheese and crackers. He
said that the man had talked in an
unusual manner, but that he seemed be
a man of refinement and culture and
that he did not seem to be familiar
with Winthrop Harbor. Following
this clue the friends of the judge
found that a man answered the de-
scription had been seen at the naval
training station at Lake Bluff ON Sat
urday afternoon and at that time he
talked with several Workmen. These
men when found and shown the picture
of the missing judge declared that they
believed he had been seen at that
point. The fact that the same man
was later seen at Highland Park and
Glencoe seems to indicate that the
man, whoever he is, is making his
way slowly along the lake shore. This
is the manner in which it is expected
that Judge Clarkson will go and his
friends believe that he is wandering
about in the open along the lake front
and that he makes these trips into
the smaller cities whenever he feels
the pangs of hunger and that he hur
ries back into the open country as
soon as he has satisfied his hunger.
| The judge had stated short time be-
fore he leIt Kenosha that he longed to
get away and fast for couple of
weeks, but if this was his motive he
would not have gone near the towns
where he is thought to have been seen.
The stories told of his having been
seen in several places have gone long
way to allay the fears of his friends
that he ha7 been killed by accident
and they are becoming certain that
his continued absence at this time is
simply repetition of the attack of the
trouble which resulted in his long alb
sence from Omaha so many years ago.
Many automobile parties went out
| from Kenosha this morning with a
view Of continuing the search along
the lake shore and friends of the judge
al along the line have been asked to
take up the search for him.
