POLICE BEL|EVELEWIS
COUNTY man HAS met
WITH FOUL PLAY HERE
New Clue Picked Up by Local Police
VIII Be Followed Out In an At.
tempt to Unrayel Mysterious
Disappearance Of Lewis
County Grower.

Chief of Police Harry A. Ort has
found new clue to the mysterious
disappearance here early In January
Of John Bailey, Lewis county farmer
and teamster and is following out the
clue expecting that thereby he will be
able to unravel the mystery which so
long has baffled the local police, the
police Of neighborlng towns and cities
and has brought great grief and suf-
fering to Bailey's wife and siX small
children.
1t will be remembered that Bailey
delivered a load of tobacco to local
warehouse for sale and that he disap-
peared over night His team of mules
and wagon were found in the ware
house stable and he had never called
at the warehouse for the check in pay
ment for the tobacco which he had
hauled to Maysville for sale for a
neighbor.
The police have now, for the first
time, since the disappearance of
Bailey, reached the belief that there
might be something in the impression
many people had at the time of the
disappearance, that Bailey had met
with foul play.
Heretofore the police have not be-
lieved that foul play was likely be-
cause there was nothing 20 lead them
to thus believe. Bailey had no money
on his person at the time of any con-
sequence and therefore they dismiss
ed the theory Of robbery. He had no
enemies who would resort to murder
and the only possible conclusion they
could reach was that he might have
been drunk, as several say he was.
and got into an argument which end
ed fatally for him and then his as
sailant made way with his body.
Chief Ort and those who have been
working on the case, however, were
more of the opinion that Bailey had
just wandered off on long drunk and
that he would show up after few
days. Almost three months have pass
ed since his mysterious disappear
ance, however, and no one had heard
anything about him.
The new clue picked up yesterday
by Chief Ort leads the police to be-
lieve strongly that Bailey might have
met with foul play in Maysville and
they are working hard on the case
now and expect to reach some conclu-
sion on this tip within the next twen-
ty-four hours that will lead either to
proving beyond a doubt that Bailey
was murdered or that he has simply
run away from the community to re-
main.

BREWER SHOOTS
SELF IN BREAST Be.
CAUSE Of WORRY
Worry Over Prohibition Led to De.
lspOndency Which Caused Husband
Of Local Girl to Attempt
Suicide.

Worry over the approach of prohibi-
tion in Ohio is said by relatives to
have caused William A. Boss, Presi-
dent and Treasurer of the Gambrinus
Stock Company, Cincinnati, to attempt
to end his life at the Gambrinus Brew
cry, Twelfth and Sycamore streets,
yesterday.
Mr.. Boss shot himself in the left
breast.
His condition is serious, General
Hospital physicians say.
After lunch Boss, with several other
employees from the office Of the COM
pany, went to the taproom, where St.
Patrick's Day was being celebrated
He appeared to be in an exceptionally
cheerful mood, but suddenly asked to
be excused, and went to his office,
where, employees stated, he procured
a revolver.
A revolver shot was heard and Boss
staggered from a lavatory and fell in
to the arms of Andrew Youch, clerk.
Youch called Robert Schmidt and Jo-
seph Shaefer, bookkeeper. The three
men carried Boss to a table and ad-
ministered first aid.
While police were on their way to
the brewery Boss asked that note
which he had written be destroyed.
Lieutenant Henry Puengling request
ed employees to deliver the note to
him. 1t was brief and unsigned. In it
Boss wrote:
81 am in the hands of my friends,
and request Undertaken Sullivan to
bury me from my mothers home"
His mother, Mrs. c. w. Boss, lives at
1867 Kendall avenue, Hyde Park.
Boss is 32 years old and lived at
1925 Reading road, Cincinnati. His
wife, who before her marriage was
Miss Lula Reed, of this city, daughter
Of Councilman Charles Reed, Of the
First Ward, last night said she did not
believe her husband was mentally re-
sponsible for his act.
HE worried over prohibition until
he was nearly crazy" Mrs. Boss said.
"He worried night and day
Boss told physicians at the Cen
eral Hospital last night that he had
shot himself accidentally. Physici-
clans, upon examination of the wound,
said the weapon was held in the left
hand at the time it was discharged.

j.R. BRODT CHOSEN
TOHEAD DIRECTORS
OF CAMP MEETING
Prominent Mason County Man Named
to Succeed the Late Col. !. NJ. Lane
as President Of Ruggles Camp.
meeting AssOclatiOn-Dr.
BuntOn Chosen as
Evangelist.

A very interesting meeting OF the
Board Of Directors Of the Ruggles
Camp Meeting Association was held at
the Third Street M. e. Church here
today and much business Of import
ance was transacted.
: Among those present were Rev. W..
H. Davenport, Superintendent Of the
Ashland District, Rev. ]. M. Literal,
Superintendent Of the Covington Dis
trict, Rev. H. e. Trent, of Vanceburg,
Rev. A. W. Insko, Of Tollesboro, and
Revs. W. H. Morris and w. s. Peters,
Of this city. The laymen in attend
ance were John Brodt, DR.. j. B.
O'Bannon and ]. H. Richardson.
Probably the most important bust
ness transacted by the board was the
election Of Mr.. John R. Brodt, of this
county, as President of the Ruggles
Camp Meeting Association to succeed
the late Colonel l. NJ Lane, of this
city. Another important matter final
ly settled was the selection Of DR..
George w. Bunton, Of Dayton, ohio,
as evangelist and Sunday preacher for
the annual meeting this year. Dr.
Bunton is a former pastor Of the Third
Street church and probably Maysville
has never had more popular pastor
He is just as popular with all of the
people over the district from which
Ruggles Camp Meeting draws as he
was in Maysville.
Many other important matters were
discussed at the board meeting but
they were left in the hands of commit
tees for final disposition.
