Masonic bodies and was especially an
active Shriner. was last seen in Moor

time that he was acting in a rather
peculiar manner, but the friend who
saw him then thought nothing about
the matter until he later learned that
Mr.. White was missing. He recalled

Mr.. Whites accounts are now be

is that the missing man is suffering
from a clot on the brain.
