GONE OVER TWO WEEKS

Not a word has been heard as to
the whereabouts of Charles II. Brad
ford, who with his family resides on
Jefferson street, for more than two
weeks and his friends and relatives
are greatly worried.
Mr.. Bradword has been resi-
dent of Marion for the past three
years. He was engaged in the lumber
business and was quite successful as
30 he left for Columbus. The same
an Independent dealer. On December
day, Mrs. Bradiordl with her two
children, boy and girl, aged eight
and ten years, drove to Cardington
to visit her father, J. d. Fate, an
ex-treasurer of Morrow county. 1t
was arranged that Mr.. Bradford was
to join them there in the evening and
New Years day was to be spent in
Cardington. Since that time not a
word has come from the husband and
father and the police of the country
have been placed on his trail in the
hope of gaining some clew to his
whereabouts.
1t is feared Mr.. Bradford has met
with foul play IN Columbus Al
though II Is not known whether he
took with him any sum Of money,
II is believed that he did, as he was
in the habit of carrying quite a
sum on his person No excuse can
be found for his disappearance, His
domestic relations were the most
pleasant, the neighbor on Jefferson s
street saying that he was most hap
ny and contented with his family,
It is known that he with the other
Marion men had a deal on for a
tract OF timber in Arkansas, but this
fell through before he left for Co
lumbus and it Is not considered prcb-
able that he has gone Ito that state
on business deal. His relatives
say that he would not have made
such a trip without having informed
hts family, as It was always his GUS
tom to keep nclose touch with them,
The wife Is almost distracted She
is still at the home of her father
in Cardington. Every effort Is being
made to locate the missing man,
the police OF a nnmber of the larger
cities having heen asked to be on the
