Up to date nothing has been heard of MT. Arthur Dolge. and the young woman who disappeared from town so suddenly and unexpectedly. MT. Dolge went off in his working clothes and did not even stop to take a change of linen or suit case. Public opinion is changing somewhat, and is not quite as severe against him as it was a week or so ago. Those who are familiar with all the circumstances believe he became desperate from various causes and determined to seek a quiet and 1n- dependent life. It Is doubted if he had much money when he went away; certainly nothing like $10,000. Mrs. Dolge is very anxious to have her young husband return, and laments his absence He will be forgiven if he will only come home, and resume rides in that automobile. As for Miss Sadie Jowery, who went away about the same time. all Is as mysterious as IL was the day she left.
