MYSTERIOUS
Disappearance Of Man Who
Came Here To Be Married
Was Last Seen Late Tuesday
Evening
Foul Play Is SuspiCiOned
Says Chief Clements

Chief of Police Clements is investi-
eating the mysterious disappearance
of c. r. Myers of Newark, Ohio, who
arrived in the city Tuesday afternoon
in company with Mrs. Eva Shipp, also
of Newark. Mr.. Myers and Mrs. Shipp
were to have been married today but
the man is missing and cannot be
found. Foul play is suspicioned as he
is said to have had over $500 in his
possession Tuesday afternoon.
On Tuesday the couple arrived in
the city in an automobile from New
ark and stopped at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. c. G. Crider at POI South
Mulberry street where Mrs. Shipp was
intimately acquainted. Arrangements
were made whereby she was to stay at
the Crider home over Tuesday night
while Mr. Myers expressed his inten-
tion of going to the Y. M. G. A. build
ing 10 secure lodging for the night.
This plan was carried out.
Wednesday morning the man did not
appear at the Crider home as was ex-
pected and communication was quickly
effected with the Y M. G. A. The result
was surprise. Ii was learned that
Myers had arrived at the building
shortly before 10 o'clock Tuesday ev-
ening and had registered. He was
shown to his room where he was sup
posed to have stayed during at least a
part of the night, Everything was reg.
ular at that time and nothing to indi-
cate his intention of leaving before
morning was noticed
Wednesday morning when the mat
ter was investigated 1t was found
that the room was vacant and that
nothing had been left behind that
would give any light on the matter
The door had been unlocked and the
key had been left in the inside His
whereabouts is mystery.
After having made an unsuccessful
search, Mr. Crider, at whose home
Mrs. Shipp remained during the night,
notified Chief of Police r. S. Clements
and a more thorough investigation of
the case was begun.
II appears that complete plans for
the wedding of the pair had been prey
iously made. Several days ago Mr..
Myers purchased large amount of
furniture at local store and that 1t
was to have been delivered at his new
ly established home at Bangs this aft.
