DISAPPEARED HERE
Lewis County Man Who Delivered To.

not BE LOcated-Mules Left
In Warehouse Stable
Since Jan. 3.

Chief Of Police Harry A. Ort was
Friday evening ASKED to assist in To-
eating John Bailey, of near Peters,
vile, Lewis county, who very myster-
iously disappeared here during the
past week.
Bailey, who Is a farmer and teams
ter, delivered crop of tobacco for a
neighbor to the Farmers and Planters
warehouse company in this city on
Friday, January 3. and since that time
his team has been in the warehouses
stables where 1t has been cared for
expecting his return at any time.
Relatives have become worried
about his disappearance and the po-
lice have been asked to assist in To-
eating him here. Some fear that he
has met with foul play or has been
drowned in the Ohio river.
Bailey did not collect at the ware
house for the tobacco he delivered
here for his neighbor and which was
sold. The police are making a very
thorough investigation in an attempt
to trace his movements while in Mays
Vile.
