PoPLARvILLE MAN DISAPPEARS.
Residents Search for Rufus Clark
Foul Play Theory Not Given
Credence.

Poplarville, Miss, May IA
Searching parties numbering hun
dreds of persons who were out in all
directions of the county in attempt
to locate Rufus S. Clark, who mys-
teriously disappeared from here
Monday, returned Tuesday night
with no results. Sheriff Tate has
gone to New Orleans to confer with
Chief of Police Mooney for help.
Professor A. ]. Huff, superintend-
ent of the Agricultural High School,
recessed his school and together with
faculty and students, Joined the
hunt. The town is in a state Of in
tense excitement and foul play is
now believed possible.
Mr.. Clark is 81 years old. The
town was stirred when the news
came that he had left home Monday
before eating his dinner and told his
family that he was going to town
and would be back shortly but had
not returned.
It is feared that his mind has been
deranged, due to the death of his
mother here suddenly while on a Wis
1t to his home from Varnado, Miss,
few weeks ago. The Rev. N. F,
Clark, member of the county Board
of Supervisors, and brother of the
lost man, requested the authorities
to assist in the search. 1t is thought
he had only $25 or $50 on him when
he left and that the version of foul
play is given no credence sy his
friends.
