!. (. RUPPENTHAL STARTS
 TO MENA AND DISAPPEARS
Party of Searchers Made FruitleSS Efforts Thursday Night--Mental
 Alteration Is Suspected.

H. E. Ruppenthal, who owns and
 had lived on the Prof. John Trainer
 farm about a mile south of Mena,
 mysteriously disappeared Thursday
 afternoon and has not been seen or
 aeard of since. He left home about
 o'clock Thursday afternoon, os- 1ensibly to consult a physician con- Llerning a severe pain in the back of Tnis head, about which he had com blained for some time. It seems,
 however, that he did not come to
 iena, at least no one has been found Hhat had seen him.
 M Mrs Ruppenthai became alarmed -vhen he did not reach home about
 Eh0re time, and after notifying rel |, btiyes and others, a searching party went out, thinking that he might shave suffered a stroke of paralysis,
 br mel with some accident, but after Recovering the territory thoroly be- tween the city and the home and on adown Prairie creek, no trace of him Awas found. Among those who were out were Sheriff H. w. Finger, De- wputy J. A.. Johnston, D. A. Hazel, :. Will s. MacLaflerty, l. A, Axelton, sPaul Griffiths and the neighbors, S.. .sC. Reynolds, J. R. May and the mem Hbers of their families.
 < The nearest clue came from Pot Hter, thru Emmett Rowe, who found from his son, Doyle Rowe, that a stranger had bought a ticket at Pot -ter, Thursday afternoon for Texar- kama, and had boarded train No. 3, and his description had fitted that of -Mr. Ruppenthal. Communication =with Texarkana was secured Trurs- -day night, but no reports have come from that point The only mo- tive that can be ascribed for Mir. iRuppenthal's action is that he had worried a great deal lately about business affairs and poor health of Mrs. Ruppenthal, and that from this constant worry he had suffered fit of mental alteration.

4 PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE

Down at St George and Santa
Clara. in southwestern Utah, live
some good people who believe in pro
gress. If anything is needed for the
betterment of their towns or country
they are up and doing. The follow
lowing from the Washington Coun-
ty News is interesting and gives a
few pointers which might be well
taken advantage of by residents of
Phoebe and some other Lincoln cOun-
ty towns:
THE splendid work done by citi-
zens of st. George and Santa Clara
in voluntarily working on the streets
and public highways is highly com
mendable and shows a very high
spirit of progress. The work already
done in ST. George and Santa Clara
and on the Arrowhead Trail between
the two places has made a great
change for the better, and the people
who have done this work feel all
the better for the efforts made. The
more a person works for his home
town, the more he will value it and
appreciate it. The effort put forth
have been really enjoyable, every
man we saw-all of them who were
engaged in the work, showed by his
demeanor that he had pleasure in it,
He knew that he was doing some
thing for the good of the public and
this knowledge caused him a seer
tain amount of satisfaction that he
he could not have had if the work
had been paid for. Indeed. it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful that one-half the
men who did turn out would have
done so had they been offered pay
for their services; we are positive
many of them would not. They have
earned the gratitude of their fellow
citizens, and also of the travelling
public who will use the road. Good
for them
