IS MISSING MAN
IN THIS CITY?
Man, Who Came Here to Take Posi-
ton, is Missing.-His Wife has
not Heard From Him Since.
REQUEST OFFICERS TO SEARCH

Alarmed over the continued alb
sence of her husband, who is sup
posed to be in Grand Junction, Mrs.
Chauncey Benell. of Canon City, is
urging the officers to make every
effort TO locate the missing man. She
cannot account for the strange dis
appearance of her husband. He came
to Grand junction several weeks ago
seeking employment and she has
never heard from him although she
is confident he received at least one
letter she directed to him here. The
Canon City Record of yesterday tells
of Benells strange disappearance as
follows:
Mrs. Chauncey Benell of 720 River
street is greatly alarmed over the
continued absence of her husband,
who on May 5th, left Canon City for
Grand Junction. and. whom she has
not seen or heard from since. Mr..
and Mrs. Benell moved to 223 West
Catlin avenue, South Canon, in Jan
uary of this year after the former
had secured a position as stationary
engineer with Messrs. Ripley & Has
selman, sub-contractors under Lums-
den g. Gordon in the construction of
the new waterworks system. When
the contract of Ripley & Hasselman
in the Royal Gorge was finished Be
nell went to Grand Junction with the
expectation of obtaining a similar
job of work at that place. Since
then Mrs. Benell has addressed two
letters to her husband; the first of
which she thinks he received. The
second letter was a registered one
and was mailed some ten days ago.
AS yet she has had no return card
indicating that the message has been
delivered, Mr.. Benell is a cripple
and has been employed as station
ary engineer in Colorado for a good
many years His wife says that they
parted as the best of friends and she
is apprehensive that he has been the
victim of an accident or four play,
She has asked the Grand Junction
authorities to assist her in locating
the missing man.

nasty fashion. He and his machinist
finished in good form, amidst the
cheers of thousands all along the

FIRE DESTROYS
|. HALL|GAN HOME
A Complete Loss of His Residence
and Its Contents is Sustained by
This Popular Night Officer.
THE CAUSE IS STILL A MYSTERY
CONTINUED on page s.l

One OF the most unfortunate fires
that has occurred in Grand junction
in long time last night completely
destroyed the residence of A. l..
Halligan, the merchant policeman,
on Belford avenue between Second
and Third streets. All the contents
were lost
Mr.. Halligan went on his beat as
usual in the early evening Mrs
Halligan and the baby daughter were
away from home at a social affair
About 1920 o'clock the fire alarm
was sounded and it was quickly
ascertained the Halligan home was
completely enveloped in flames, the
fire having great headway before
its presence was noticed
The department got out in good
time and made the long run to the
Halligan home but the fire was be-
yond control and the residence and
its contents We're soon reduced to
ashes.
The fire attracted a big crowd OF
excited people.
Officer Halligan and his wife did
not know of the fire until their home
was in ashes.
II is not known just what caused
the fire but it may have started from
small kerosene lamp that was left
burning when the family left home.
The residence was a small frame
structure, purchased only a short
time ago by the popular officer. He
was completing the work on the resi-
dence himself at odd times and was
making the home an attractive and
comfortable one
II is said that only a few days ago
OFFICER Halligan took out an insur-
ance policy on the residence but had
not yet paid the Dremf,lrn and no
Will probably be unable to collect any
part of the insurance. Consequently
the loss is total one and falls heay-
lily on Officer Halligan.
Besides the household goods and
furniture that were destroyed there
were many articles valued for asso-
citation and the memories attached
thereto. and there were also many
private and valuable papers, and all
OF these were destroyed.
There are hundreds of friends who
sincerely sympathize with Officer and
Mrs Halligan in their most unfor-
tunate and severe loss.
