Thursday, the residents of Dover were
considerably exercised and worried by
reason of the disappearance of Albert l..
Harvey, a well-known and well-to-do
farmer Of Dover, who left his home,
Tuesday, to go to Garland, where he in
tended to purchase COW. He was seen
with his team at Brann's Mills some six
miles from Doven. Tuesday. shortly after
he left his home. SO far as Dover people
can learn Mr.. Harvey has not been seen
since that time. Mr.. Harvey did not ar
rive in Garland or call upon the man
from whom he was to purchase the cow
Mrs. Harvey expected that he would re-
turn home. Wednesday, and when he
had not arrived Thursday morning, IN
quiry was commenced and such has fail
ed to locate Mr.. Harvey after he left
Brann's Minis. Mr. Harvey Is 40 years
of age and man of excellent habits.
There is no theory as to his disappear
ance but from the fact that he had con-
siderable money with him there is more
or less anxiety.
