SENSATION NOW THRILLS
CITY OF LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-George
H. Shoaf, a well known socialistic
writer and detective who recently
came to Los Angeles to write articles
on the Mcnamara case for the Appeal
to Reason, socialist publication, is
missing, having mysterlously disap-
peared Sunday night.
Local socialists and union labor
men who today heard of his dlsap-
pearance, jumped at the most sens
ational theory. They believe that
during the time he has spent in Los
Angeles he has unearthed some evil
dence which probably would establish
the innocence of the McNamaras and
that parties interested in their con-
viction have made away with him to
prevent the facts which he has gath
cred from becoming public. Others
however, do not connect the disap-
pearance in any way with the Nc
Namara case, while there have been
some opinions advanced by the anti
unionists that shortly after publish
ing the statement that he had COL
lected valuable information for the
defense of the McNamaras, Shoaf vol
unfairly dropped out of sight, leav-
ing evidence which he would not
make public.
Early Saturday Shoaf held o consul
tation with Alexander Irvine, social
ist lecturer, who is in Los Angeles,
during which he declared that he had
secured some very valuable informa-
tion. The results Of his investiga-
tions, he told Irvine, were most sens
atlonal.
From o'clock until $50 Sunday
Shoaf was at the home of his cousin
Mrs. H. o. Gabel. When leaving he
told her that he was going to take
some important papers from his room
to his cousins house because he fear
ed they might be stolen. That was
the last seen Of him.
About midnight, Mrs. Gabel was
startled by a sound which she thought
was the falling Of a body. Thinking
some one had fallen from bed, she
called to the other members Of the
household. and finding that no one
was injured, dismissed the matter
from her mind. Early Monday
Shoaf's hat, badly battered, and Q
piece OF weighted hose were found n
the hallway OF the Gable home. The
hose was about IA inches long, and
Weighted with shot.

'Tis years since | left my childhood
home
On the banks of ohlo's beautiful
stream,
And now in distant land | roam,
And life seems only a fitful dream.
For, foreign the landscape on which
gaze,
And the scenes about me are
strange and new;
And strange are the faces, the man
ners and ways,
And the voices, alasl are different
too.
And turn where I will, l cannot find
A link to connect with the life OF
the past;
My heart is heavy, my eyes are blind
With the teardrops gathering
thick and fast.
But | step outside as the night de
scends,
And ! look aloft at the deep blue
sky,
Where the crescent moon in the west
low bends.
And the cleaning stars pass slow
ly by.
The Great Dlpper's handle westward
swings,
And Arcturus follows with radiant
light,
While Virgo near by with outspread
wings
Southwest through the heavens
pursues her flight.
And see! in the southern sky there
burns
The star of the Scorpion fiery red
There Sagittarius HIS arrow turns,
And the Eagle Of Jove scars over
head
The beautiful cross of the Swar
shines on high,
And Vega, that marks the Orphear
Tyre;
The milky way spans the dome OF thu
sky,
And Pegasus slowly climbs III
higher.
And | feast my eyes on each we'll

That shines as an old-time frient
in the sky
Though my weary feet have Travelled
far,
still am at home when | gaz'

neglect to scrutinize both sides as
