RALPH PARKER STILL,
UNBOUND; MYSTERY is
DEEPENED BY REPORT

Although authorities at San Francis
Ico, Sacramento, Ashland, Roseburg,
lDunsmuir Oakland and Universal
City have been notified to keep looA
lout for the lad no trace of Ralph
Parker, IA, son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w
Parker, S71 North High street, had
been found up to late hour Monday.
The boys disappearance, believed Sat
urday to have been through kidnau-
ping, still remains a mystery, deepened
over Sunday with the receipt of more
conflicting reports.
Three checks, cashed and lost at AL
bany Thursday night by boy, believed
Ito be young Parker, and a man, who
is unknown to police here, have been
received by Mr.. Parker. He identified
the handwriting on them as that of his
son. This discovery valves the possi-
bilities that the boy had met with foul
play at the hand of his supposed alb
ductors.
Brown Is Arrested.
Saturday night Officer Branson ar
rested man who said his name was
Brown, and whose description is ident-
ical to that of the fellow believed to
have persuaded Freddie Ward, Is, to
leave home. Brown told police that
he and young Ward did leave Salem
Thursday night, and that they had
gone to Hood River seeking work. I'm
Iableto find work there, Brown said
ithat he returned to Salem and that
Ward continued on to eastern Oregon.
/ Report Mystifies.
! To add to the mystery shrouding the
affair j. T. Cannon. 2373 Laurel ave-
niue, telephoned police Sunday that he
had information bearing on the dis
appearance of the boys. Officer Lee
Morelock went to the Cannon home.
He was told that son-in-law of that
family had seen a man, wearing cow
hoy garb, and answering the descrip.
tion of the man who left Salem with
Ward, with two boys, living in a barn
on the L. H.Hadley place, five miles
from Silverton, during the past week.
He said that the boys and the ma4
had been begging for food, and that
lone of the boys said that he had left
his home in Salem because his father
had mistreated him. A search for the
trio in that vicinity failed to reveal any
trace of them.
Word Is Awaited.
Police Monday were waiting word
from southern authorities, as it is be-
lieved that young Parker, in company
l with the unknown man. is going y,
Universal City, where Parker had oft
en- aspired to play in the movies.
