THE MISSING MAN

The mysterious disappearance late
Monday afternoon Of Kenneth W.
F. .Springman, who was last seen
near Four-mile run on the Washing
ton pike. is the principal theme OF
conversation in Alexandria at pres
ent. Many theories have been sug-
gested in explanation, but time only
can explain the mystery. Spring
man is young man, about y years
old He has. a wife. VINO i cilc of
our public school teachers. and an
infant child. 1t is difficult to real
izc that he keeps his whereabouts
unknown to then il he Is alive.
Yet some prefer to believe that he
will yet be heard from and a plaus!-
bic reason for his sudden disappear
ance given.
THE fact that ne bad in his pos
session at least one hundred dollars
belonging to the bakery company by
which he was employed gives Weight
to the suggestion that he was MUIR
dercd. robbed and his body disposed
of. If this theory be correct. his
body would doubtless have been
found either IN Four mile run or
somewhere nearby. Diligent search,

however, has failed TO bring it to
light.
Some one yesterday endeayored to.
solve the riddle by, suggesting that,
the body may have been placed IN
Il box car, many Of which stand
near Fou--milec run, and by this time
might be far away in some other
section of the country. This
brought to the birth a runlor today
that the remains of the missing
mar had been found in a rar at
Philadelphia. This r':mor was
shown to be groundless.
In the meantime his distressed
wife and relatives, the latter being
residents Of lower Fairfax county,
are passing through an awful sus-
