MISSING A YEAR
MOTHER GRIEVING HER LIFE
AWAY FOR HER LONG
LOST son.

Aberdeen News: Somewhere in
the country. IN he Is alive, Leon Hat
ten is wandering today. Out in Colo
RADIO Springs his mother is seriously
i'll and grieving Owe his disappear
.ance. If she does not receive word
soon from him. her friends fear that
her grief will kill her.
Leon Hatten was last heard of
from this city in Aug ust. 1915. when
he worked from August 81 to Au-
gust "a for the Gilbert Manufacture
ing company. Where he Went when
he left the local concern, why he did
not write home. what his plans We're,
no one at the plant knows.
There is a story of pathos. mystery
and probable tragedy behind the dis
appearance of the boy, a young man
with an excellent record in his home
town, a fine scholar and in love with
his home and his aging mother and
his little brother. The story was re-
vealed in a letter received Tuesday
by the Aberdeen Sheet Metal works
from Mrs. Mary NJ. Gambrill. 126
East Platte avenue, Colorado Springs,
a friend of the family. The letter
says;
'Will you please be so kind as to
give me any information YOU can re-
garding a young man by the name of
Leon Hatten. | understand he in
tended to apply to you for work.
Leon had a friend in your employ
whose sister, | think, he knew. | am
unable to ascertain the names of
these parties.
Leon disappeared November 2.
1915. AT the time he ceased writing
to his mother. he had a very ill little
brother and he begged his mother TO
write every day. which she did. His
disappearing, at a time when he was
SO troubled regarding his dangerous
ly i'll brother, makes his poor mother
lear he is dead.
When last heard from he worked
for "A man by the name of Jacob Os-
valid. at Java. $. ID. He wrot his
mother he had saved his wages and
he must have had a large sum.
Leon was a good. steady boy. with
no bad habits and saved his money
always. He was devoted TO his moth
er and had a splendid record here.
He was on the honor roll of the high
school all through his course.
His mother is heartbroken from
suspense and anxiety, and fear she
cannot stand the strain much longer.
She is a nervous wreck now. n hav-
ing little children 1t makes the case
still more pitiful.
If you can give me any informa-
ton or tell me what | can do, | shall
be very grateful. Mrs. Hatten is very
poor. but | will be responsible for
any expense, trouble or time in get
ting information"

on! MY BACK.
The Expression of Many n Kidney
Sufferer i'm Madison.

A stubborn backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflamed and swollen,
stopping brings a sharp twinge in the
small of the back that almost takes
the breath away. Doan's Kidney
Pills revive sluggish kidneys-relieve
aching back. Here's Madison proof:
Mrs. w. Morgan. 900 West Fifth
street. Madison, says: Every time |
made a sudden move or tried to bend,
| got a catch across the small of my
back. Then "A severe pain set in
which kept me in misery and robbed
me of all ambition. | was unfit for
any kind of work. | began to get
uneasy about my kidneys. as nothing
l took seemed TO do me the least bit
of good until | began using Doan's
Kidney Pills. had good results
from the first and after taking two
boxes, | was cured"
