Wife IS SEEKING
MISSING HUSBAND
D. W. Peoples Is Under $4,000
Bonds on Forgery Charge
in Seattle

Declaring that her husband, D. w.
Peoples, a capitalist of Seattle, who is
out on bonds charged with big real
estate swindle in which he is said to
have made $4,000, mysteriously dis
appeared in San Francisco November
9, Mrs. Peoples applied to the local
police for aid yesterday and visited the
morgue and hospitals for him.
Peoples maintained an Office in the
sherman building in Seattle and the
authorities believe it was only one of
q string which he operated for swind
ling purposes. He was arrested Octo-
Der Is on the charge of forging mort
cages, but within a short time after
ward additional evidence of mora
serious nature being found against him
the first charge was dismissed and an
other, charging forgery in the first de-
gree, placed against him.
He was given his liberty on putting
UP $4,000 bonds.
HELD BACK DETAILS
Mrs. Peoples visited the police yes
terday with a strange tale of his dis
appearance, but said nothing about the
charges against him in Seattle. The
for aid was doubled when the charge
against Peoples was made known to
them. the belief being that the disap
pearance under the circumstances is
given a tinge of mystery which re-
quires the strictest investigation.
Peoples and his wife, according to
the latter. came to California with
the intention of taking up their res
idence in this state, but prior to
70 fra
it in an automobile to see which part of
it pleased them most. They were in the
neighborhood of Ukiah November 8, and
Peoples, saying it was necessary for
him TO leave for San Francisco on busf-
ness relative to the automobile he was
using, separated from her and came
here, taking rooms at the Argonaut
hotel.
CARRIED MUCH MONEY
HE said he would telegraph me his
plans Friday, but 1 received no such
telegram" said Mrs. Peoples.
According to the management of the
hotel Peoples stayed at the hotel Thurs
day night but Friday morning settled
his bill and left the place. Since then
nothing has been heard of him. Mrs.
Peoples waited in Ukiah till Friday
night and then communicated with the
Argonaut hotel The news that her hus-
baNQ ndQ leII aroused HSE suspicious
and she Immediately came to San Fran
cisco to hunt for him.
MY fear is" she explained, that he
has met with foul play. He was man
who carried a large sum of money with
him, and did so particularly on this
automobile trip to meet the expenses of
the journey
PROMISED TO TELEGRAPH
Thinking he might have forgotten
TO telegraph and had started back for
Ukiah. she kept in constant telegraphic
communication with the latter place,
but according to the latest advices he
had not arrived there.
Peoples is described by her as being
45 years Of age, dark complexioned,
/ weighing in the neighborhood of 200
pounds and is feet 8 inches in height.
The distinguishing features about him
are his dark wavy hair and a large
ruby Masonic ring which he wears. He
is a Mystic Shriner, and his wife de-
clared that it is probable he also wears
some kind of Masonic tie pin.
