Court Allows Missing Mans

carrying out the contract held by Noise
DeLeon when that prominent contractor
disappeared in the North. No word has
been heard from the missing man, and
the receivers appointed to take charge
Of his business today asked the court
to permit his bondsmen to continue the
work
The bond company guaranteed De-
Leon for an amount twice that of his
contract and should the work not be
completed the county could require the
company to make good all losses. 1t
was in the province of the company to
take over the contract on it's own &C
count, and this it has done, upon order
of the court. The receivers, Ronald
Ransom and H. L. Frazer, signed the
petition asking that the bondsmen be
permitted to assume the contract and
continue it.
Wife Refuses to Give Up Hope.
While no word has come from Noise
DeLeon since he left a Chicago suburb
several weeks ago, presumably to go to
Saginaw. Mich, for a fishing trip, his
wife continues to express her conf
dence in his return.
81 shall never give up hope-never,"
she told a reporter. 81 am confident Mr..
DeLeon is in the woods somewhere and
will return"
Friends of the contractor are not so
optimistic. They point out that De-
Leon was methodical, careful, far
seeing. and they say he would never
have gone away and left his business
affairs unprovided for They believe he
wandered into some Chicago slum, was
sandbagged by gangsters for the heavy
roll of bills and the fine watch he al
ways carried, and his body sunk in the
lake or river. The Chicago police have
made q diligent search. Several bodies
have been found and examined at the
morgue, but none was that of the At
lanta contractor.
There is not the slightest clew to the
movements of DeLeon since he left a
friends home near Chicago and started
for Saginaw.

Miss Mary Jones Has Big COL
lection of Prizes Won in
Tanbark Ring.

Mary Algood Jones is a formidable
name When one reads in the papers
that it belongs to the champion horse
woman of the whole South one pictures
tall, imperious woman in glossy silk
hat and with a hunting crop posing
against hurdle. It's a relief to find
the name belongs to a jolly girl of
eighteen, in khaki divided skirt, a
white MILDLY blouse and a tangle of
brown hair falling over a sun tanned
face. Miss Jones doesn't put on any
side despite her recent victories at
the Asheville horse show. She is as
natural as most folk who prefer horses
and dogs and out Of doors to bridge.
embroidery and gossip
But goodness knows she'd have
right to, if trophies count for anything.
The wall Of her den" in the new West
Fourteenth street home into which the
Jones family is just moving, is fairly
covered with rosettes and ribbons of
blue, red and yellow-and they're most
ly blue, which means first prize.
oh that's only a few" laughed Miss
Jones. You know I've ridden and won
for lots Of owners. but only few gave
me the ribbons. Naturally. they want
to keep the trophies their horses won.
Most of these l won with my own
horses"
$1,000 Mare Ono of Her Trophies.
And speaking of trophies, what do
you think of magnificent brown mare
real high school horse" worth $1,000
being given as prize by horse show?
Well, Hazel Queen is the horse and
the Interstate association offered her
to the best woman rider in the arena
Miss Jones entered. And now Hazel
Queen is trying to paw the walls out
of Miss Jones stable in West Four
teenth street.
She is beauty and her new owner
spends three -fourths of the time either
in the saddle or in the paddock And
Hazel seems to be as fond of her mis-
tress as her mistress is of Hazel And
don't forget Cock Robin, the bay pony
which has won so many blues for Miss
Jones. Cock Robin is still there Just as
much a pet as the beautiful mare, of
whom he is plainly jealous The two
will win many a cup and ribbon on the
tanbark in seasons to come.
Let me show you Hazel's gaits."
said Miss Jones, after calling attention
to the mares beautiful lines She
swung herself into the saddle with ease,
and Hazel high-stepped and caracoled
up and down the paddock. Cock Robin
raised his head in protest and EXPIRE sed
his feelings aloud, and his mistress had
to come back and console him. Dant-
zig the Dalmation coach dog. asleep
in the sunlight, woke up and ran to
the stable for his share of petting.
Prefers Horses to Motors.

Jones repeated in answer to a ques-

And that is-?".Tne interviewer was

"Oh, I'm eighteen now laughed the
girl. Il don't mind telling.
