( RAYMOND WILCOX DISAPPEARS. Ray
mond Wilcox, young man OF about 70
years who came to Belfast several years
ago from Masardis and was working in
/ the Mckay room of the Leonard q Bar
rows shoe factory, disappeared last Sun
day while presumably on a ride to the
City Park in a row boat. He left the
Calvin Pilley house on Union street,
where he roomed, some time between one
/ and two O'Clock D. m. and was apparently
/ in a normal condition. At about three
o'clock he applied to VIM b. DecroW for
! boat to 60 to the Park, He was alone,
but Mr.. Decrow thought he was all right
and let him have the boat, which Wilcox
paid for in advance. Mr.. DecroW waited
at the boat landing until p. m, but the
Young man did not appear. About 9. 80 p.
Ill. ALdD
coming up the bay in large power boat
picked up the boat near the can buoy and
brought her in. The painter was just as
Mr.. Decrow had left it and both oars
were in the locks ready for use. Mr.
Wilcox's soft brown hat and bag of
candy were all that was found IN the
boat. Mr.. Wilcox was apparently not IN
normal condition and did not intend to
come back when he left his work IN the
shoe factory Saturday night. He had
wound yards of the thread around the
screws, ETC., of his machine, and had
done Just opposite to what he was sup
posed to do with his working materials.
He was a quiet, gentlemany man, but
made few intimate friends, usually pre-
ferrlne to be alone A brother, Martin
Wilcox, formerly lived in Belfast. His
narents and several brothers and sisters
live in Masardis. 1t is the opinion of
Deputy j. A. G. Beach, who is looking
I'D the case, that the young man was
drowned although there are other rumors
| that he might be wandering in the vlcin-
ity. A party of young people picniclng
on the shore near the Fahy cottage saw
| him on the beach as late as 4.4o, ihey
did not speak to him but noticed his
respondent manner as he stood looking
into the boat. The young man OF the
party thinks Wilcox is wandering along
the shore or still farther away.
