M'LFOD, TRACK
BETTOR, VANISHfS
Disappears From St. Francis
and Friends Fear Foul
Play

y. S. Mcleod, a follower of the race
track, has disappeared from the st.
Francis hotel and has not been seen
for week. His continued absence
has aroused the suspicion that he
might have met with foul play or in a
fit of despondency done away with
himself. Owing to the peculiar cir
cumstances attending his disappear
ance the case was yesterday reported
to tae police by the management of
the hotel.
Mcleod has been in this city since
the opening of the season at Emery
vile. He lived for a period at the
Hotel Alexander, but later returned TO
the st. Francis. He owes a bill at the
hotel amounting to about $50. He was
not pressed by the management. how
ever, for on frequent other occasions
he had run UP an account and always
paid.
Mcleod was seen last on March 1.
He called on friend, Ira Zallinger, at
the Alexander hotel. He seemed to be
discouraged over his financial condi-
ton. In previous embarrassments he
had been succored by friends in Chi
cago, but repeated kilograms followed
by letters had failed to bring any
cheering response.
Dave Vinder. a friend of Zallinger,
who was introduced to Mcleod and
knew him casually, saw Mcleod fall
from a car at the corner of Ellis and
Market streets on Monday night a
week ago. He picked himself up, how
ever, readily, and did not appear to be
injured. retiring to a nearby cigar
stand to brush his clothes.
Mcleod is man of about 80 and of
striking appearance. He is about six
feet tall, we'll proportioned and weighs
close to 200 pounds. He had a horfd
complexion, auburn hair and hazel
