CARTER EXPLAINS ABSENCE
Says He Han Out Of Funds, Quit
Hospital 20 Work

l.. A. Carter. the Montezuma,
Kan. farmer and former Solomon
man who disappeared mysteriously
from Wichita In March after going
there for an operation, will return
to Wichita in few days, he writes,
to make an explanation OF his dis
appearance.
In a letter to the Wichita Beacon
from Billings, Okla. Mr.. Carter
writes:
THE reason I left Wichita was
because ! was out of funds.
"As you know / went to Wichita
for an operation. The hospital in
which I was to have been operated
on had fire the day before the
operation was to be performed. ]
was told that they could not oper-
ate in that hospital for two weeks
but that the operation might be
performed in one of the other hos
pitfalls.
But, as said, was out OF
funds and as the other hospitals
owed me no courtesies, l decided
not to have the operation at that
time, I had no money for carfare, SO
went to work for a farmer near
Lawrence.
81 worked at Lawrence until II
came to Billings, Okla, to harvest
and thresh. will so back to Kansas
in a few days and will try to stop
in Wichita and explain more fully.
(signed) 81. A. CARTER"
All southern Kansas was search
ed for traces of Mr.. Carter. Wichita
and Hutchinson police were inter- !
ested in the search.

went into effect, have been taken
off the registration books. There
