built to do the daily work of 5

faster than horses--and keeps

OLD DISAPPEARANCE CASE
AGAIN BROUGHT FORTH

Hand IN Bnrrnud Estate

The State Supreme Court Of Appeals,
which granted yesterday q writ OF
error and supersedcas in the cole
bratcd case of Barraud against Bar
raud. has brought to the public atten-
tion again the mysterious disappear
ancc from his law office In Richmond
in 1903 of Philip ST. George Barraud
cohcir of n large estate. Tho missing
man had two sisters. and tho three
were equal heirs In tho estate of their
father
In 1908. Philip ST. George Barraud,
mond. disappeared from his office
without leaving the slightest trace
of his whereabouts. He left no
note to his wife and nothing to indi-
cate suicide or insanity. The earth
simply opened ana swallowed him. to
all appearances. Although eleven
years have passed since his disap-
pcarance. neither his wife nor rola-
lives have heard from him or heard
Of his death.
The senior Barraud died In 1908, Ave
years after tho disappearance Of
Philip, without knowing whether his
son was alive or dead. Ills will pro-
v!ded that his estate was TO bo di-
vidcd equally on his death between
hts children. Long since his property
in Norfolk County haA been sold. and
Tho estate prepared for division. The
two daughters OF the senior Barraud
contest the right OF the wife OF Philip
ST. George Barraud TO share in the
estate on the grounds that they are
the only surviving children. Philip
having died before his father =
The Supreme Court will-'be called
upon TO decide whether or not the
complete Disappearance of person
for eleven years Is grounds for the
conclusion OF death, and. If 80. did
Philip proceed his father to the grave :.
The case comes up on appeal from

claims that lac received injuries that
