 Los Angeles newspapers and some of the Los Angeles people have been greatly worried this week over the disappearance of one James s. Mur- phy, a well known real estate man of that city. Mr. Murphy invited his wife to dinner at . down town restau- rant Thursday afternoon of last week and when the wife kept the appoint ment the srrant husband was not there, nor could he be found in the city. The following day the name of James $. Murphy and wife appeared on the register at a local hotel but the address was given as that of Seat tie. With the appearance of the Los 1 Angeles newspapers with the story of his disappearance Mir. Murphy got , busy and notified them that he was in Kingman, and returned home We'd , nesday evening. He told the mem bers of his local staff that he was called suddenly away on mining business at Kingman, and not wishing any one to know of the purpose of his business registered from Seattle, and that some some practical joker wrote the words land wife" after his name on the reg ister. Thursday Burns detective showed up and had the signature of Mir. Murphy "and wife" photographed and it is probable that Mrs. Murphy will make the next few weeks of his life very oppressive. The lady who accompanied Mir. Murphy to Kingman is said to be a well known writer and "humanitarian", whatever that may be, who has been prominently in the public eye the past several years.
