the forest service was placed In full

In Mystery

In Mystery
Friends have offered a reward for
information which will lead to dis
covering the whereabouts Of Louis
Thompson, a we'll to do farmer, who
recently disappeared from his farm
near Harrisburg under somewhat
mysterious circumstances. In some
quarters it is feared he wandered
away while temporarily demented.
The missing man Is . bachelor and
Is about 80 years of age. He had en-
ployed q crew to thresh his grain and
when the crew arrived at the farm
Thompson had disappeared. After
waiting some time. and upon Thomp-
sons failure to appear, they broke In
to his house. They found everything
in order, the only signs bearing upon
his disappearance being the fact that
he had donned his best suit Of cloth
lug and had left his working clothes
in the house. Thompson's finances
are declared to be Ia good condition.
There is no known reason why he
should have voluntarily left the coun-
try. [Argus Leader.
