Mr.. Meyers is an elderly German,
a widower, living with the family of
S. F. Gray, tenant. just outside the

came to the city Monday with a
neighbor, intending to return with

tickets at either depot. A general
search for Meyers has been made,
but unavaiIingly. There are fears
that he may have met with foul play.
Meyers recently had a rather SEN
sational appearance before the public.
He was sued by Kansas City parties
for the amount of several checks ag-
gregating a considerable sum. He
admitted issuing the checks, but had
stopped payment, alleging that they
were obtained under false representa-
tons In fact, he had given them to
a woman who was his promised BRIDE

lawful husband. He has damage
