IS It TARGEDY
OR LITTLE COMEDY
WHITEHALL PAIR DISAPPEAR,
CAUSING A GREAT
SENSATION.
FOR NO KNOWN REASON
Prosperous Village Physician Left
Suddenly and Later Wife Followed,
Leaving no Trace.

A new sensation in the case of the
mysterious vanishing of DR.. A. ]. De-
Nike of Whitehall was caused Monday
when it became known that his wife,
to whom the authorities were looking
to furnish a clue, had also disap-
peared
Wild rumors of murder and suicide
are circulated. while several citizens
claim that DeNike acted peculiarly
for many days before he was missing.
Just before going, Mrs. DeNike sold
the doctors automobile.
DR.. DeNike was the oldest physician,
as well as one of the best known resi-
dents of the district about Whitehall.
He was q general favorite, had an ex-
cellent practice and had no known
enemies.
Monday and Tuesday of last week
Mrs. DeNike was visiting friends and
relatives in Coopersville. Returning
Wednesday, she found no trace Of her
husband. Later in the day, however,
after looking through the house and
Offices of the physician, Mrs. DeNike
says she found a note from her hus-
band, telling her that he had gone
away to look for another location, that
she should dispose of their property
and collect his outstanding accounts
and that. as soon as he found a place
which he thought suitable, he would
write informing her where to come.
Whitehall folk, knowing of the doc
tors splendid practice hereabout, ac-
cept as most remarkable the story
that he is seeking location where he
is not known
While it was at first thought that
DIR. DeNike went west, no real trace of
the way by which he left or the time
of his departure have been found.
The entire occurrence is shrouded
with mystery, the physician having
given no intimation to either his friends
or his wife that he intended TO leave
Whitehall. where he was very sue
cessful. No word of any kind has as
yet been received from him.
His affairs are in excellent shape,
as he had considerable property in
Whitehall. He had been a resident of
the village for several years.
