lola MAN IS CONE
arshall N. Beekey, Farmer, Left
Home in Dead of Night.
Not a Trace Found of Him Since
Early Monday Morning.
HEMAY BEN LIN.WOOD
Accompanied Brother to Santa
re Passenger Station.
Police Department Is Working
Hard to Find Some Clue.

lola, Kan, Feb. 24.-William Gates,
chief of police, and his patrolmen, are
searching diligently for some clue to
the whereabouts of Marshall NJ.
Beekey a wealthy retired farmer of
PA North Buckeye street. Mr.. Beekey
lefthis home about o'clock Monday
morning to accompany a brother, T. M.
Beekey, of Linwood, Kan, who had
been visiting relatives here to the
Santa -Fe passenger station on the re-
turn trip home. He failed to return, no
word has been received from him, no
one, so far as learned, has seen him
and his family is alarmed for fear that
some evil fate has overtaken him.
Chief William Gates is trying to get
into Geographic or telephone commu-
nication with T. NJ Beekey, at Lin
wood. in order to ascertain where he
left his home about 2 o'clock Monday
brothers are together, the latter being
considered possible but highly improb-
able. But T. NJ. Beekey lives several
miles in the country from Linwood and
a messenger has been sent to bring him
to a telephone.
Il can't persuade myself that Mar
shall Beekey would have gone to Lin
wood with his brother without leaving
some word" ]. Beekey. a relative, said,
in reporting the disappearance of Mr.:
Beekey to Chief of Police Gates. IF
he had left home in the daytime, I
would have thought little of 1t, be-
cause he has extensive business inter-
ests and would be likely to take an un-
expected trip. But to leave in the dead
of night makes me feel that something
has happened to him. He had no cause
to worry. He had plenty of means and
there was no reason why he should be
suddenly overcome by depression.
The relatives consider it possible, OF
course. that Mr.. Beekey suddenly de-
termined to take a little business trip
and are persuading themselves as fully
as possible that such is the case and
thew are believing that he will return
safe and sound, but the uncertainty
the fear that something might have
happened. impelled them to ask the aid
of the police in locating the missing
man.
The theory that Mr.. Beekey left town
with his brother is seemingly disproved
by the fact that Night Operator Perry
Avis of the Santa Fe passenger sta
ton, sold but one ticket to Linwood
in the morning and that to a man
whose description tallies exactly with
that of T. NJ. Beekey. Marshall Beekey
might have accompanied his brother,
however, and paid fare on the train
At any rate much alarm Is felt over
Mr.. Beekey's disappearance and every
effort is being made to find him. He
has property interests in lola, being in
terested in the ownership of buildings
in the old court house block and else
where. He is not known to have had
any considerable money with him
when he left his home. He babe no one
goodbye and was expected to return
from the passenger station as soon as
the train bearing his brother. left. He
is a man about 60 years of age.
