With reference to further findings
in the case, Sheriff Sankey said
apparently the man was heavily in
debt We have searched the records
at the court house and find where
there are mortgages against his stuff
to TIE amount Of $4,000
Further investigation shows that
ho sold a great deal Of his crop, prob
ably $500 worth, and to this time we
have not found where he deposited
any Of the money. In the pocket
book that was returned there was
no money and no date he has checked
out no additional money from the
local bank. It is possible that he
had on his person the money he got
for his crop
Wife Believes He's Dead
The wife Of the missing man has
practically given him up as dead,
county officials state.
Mr. sankey stated that Mrs. Chos-
sett has absolute faith in her hus-
hand holding stoadfastly to the theo-
ry that he has been murdered. The /
note, plus the return Of his effects
has strengthened this belief in her
Mr. sankey says, and indicates that
nothing but the return Of her hus (
band will convince her, apparently,
that he has not been killed.

Greatest Boxer in

BOSTON, July 23.-Mrs. Johnny VII
son, wife of the worlds middleweight
champion, regretted the fact that Mrs
Geoages Carpenter didn't visit Boston
recently with her famous husband.
Mrs. Wilson had a little surprise all
prepared for Mrs. Carpenter. She
wanted to take her to dinner at one
of the fashionable Back Bay hotels and
then ask the French boxers wife Il her
husband believed be could defeat the
Charlestown champion.
You know I believe Johnny is the
greatest boxer in the world" said Mrs
Wilson
'Of course. he only won the world
O'Dowd, but I feel sure he can defeat
most of the heavyweights. Carpenter
would be easy for him"
When Mrs. Wilson learned that Mrs
Carpenter had failed TO come to Boston
she wrote her q letter, which was giveG
&c the French champion to present to
his wife The letter follows:
MY Dear Mrs. Carpentier-Accept my
sorry you were unable to come TO Bos-
ton I hope you will be able TO visit
our city before you return TO France. l
would dearly love to greet you person
1T IS only natural that you should
be enthusiastic ever the wonderful box
ing ability of your husband Any man
who has a record like that of your
1lustrious husband is certainly deserv-
ing Of praise.
n think, though, that my husband
would be able 70 score more points
than your husband IN a boxing match.
Ii would be America against France in
= an international athletic event. l have
enough confidence IN my husbands abil
fly as a boxer to feel sure he would
successfully uphold the honor of Amer
ice. With kind wishes to yourself.
Sincerely yours,
