Mr.. Whitehead in puzzled way. She
came here to consult DE- William

relative to some trouble She was hay
ing with her car. took thcu 10 Rev

Bluff and they were to return MeH4Hy
afternoon She did not take any
clothing or baggage, only Il light
change for the baby girl. When she
did not return home Monday evening
| did not think strange of the incl
dent, because her sister lived here
and | knew if she was feeling bodily
she would go there and probable re-
main over a day. But yesterday, when
| got this letter | hurried to IA sta
ton and took the train
After his arrival here Mr. White
head explained the matter to his en-
Ploy, ]. Walker Jones who is doing
everything to aid him in his sea4eh
for his wife and baby. He has only
two children, the little girl. who has
disappeared with the mother, and one
son James, wears old. who was
brought to the sisters home here by
Mr. Whitehead to be cared for.
q am completely at a loss to en-
plain the affair, continued Mr.. White
head. The conductor of the train tells
lie that my wife and child left the
train at Union Station here Monday
morning. Since that time no one has
seen them. They have disappeared
as completely as if the earth had
opened up and swallowed them.
telephoned to her sister today and was
informed that SHE had not been seen
at her home, as WAS customary when
my wife visited this city. Mr.. Mou-
staeha did not know she had come
to Pine Bluff My wife and 7 have
never had any differences of any kind.
We have never spoken a harsh word
since Our marriage. She was happy
with me and | with her and both Of
us fairly worship our little ones.
"M,y Wfe has few if any friends.
She has been tending to everything
about tho house for several years and
Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Amos and another
gentleman who works for Mr.. Jones
make their home with us al Cummins.
They know her disposition and every
one of them are certain that my wife
was either kidnapped or if not she
must have lost her mind. I know that
something terrible has happened to
her. If l thought that she would run
away from me, I would go back to
the plantation and let her go, but If
| thought she was being mistreated |
would kill the man who mistreats her.
l just cannot believe anything else
but that she has been taken away
against her own WILL"
And as If he did not know what to
do or what to say next Mr.. Whitehead,
a big whole souled, sincere man, stood
on the street corner with tears in his
eyes greater part of yesterday, an
xious to invent some new theory or
hear one invented that might lead to
the recovery of his wife and baby.
George T. Amos, who has been a
bOokkeeper in the employ of Mr..
Jones for some months and who Mr..
Jones recently induced to go West
for his health, arrived in Pine Bluff
yesterday morning In company with
Mr.. Whitehead. Amos did not want
to leave the plantation yesterday, pre-
ferring to remain there two weeks
longer, but Mr.. Jones insisted that he
go West at once as he has delayed
the trip too long. His health is very
bad and his physician ha sadvised him
to go into a Western climate. Amos
and Whitehead are fast friends and
the bookkeeper manifested every in
terest in the case yesterday, and Of
fered every assistance to Whitehead
