HILLSBORO MAN MAY
HAVE BEEN MURDERED
Bonds Known To Have Been Owned
BY James GOtherman Are Missing
From Safety Deposit Box.

Hillsboro, Ohio, March IL. - When
the safety deposit box in which the
private papers OF James Gotherman,
who was found dead in bed at his home
with a pistol in his hand last week,
was opened at the Hillsboro Bank &
Savings Company two receipts and
some papers of no value were found.
Gotherman was known to have pur-
chased Liberty bonds arounting to
$4,000 or $4,000.
No trace of these bonds being found
gave reason for belief that he had been
murdered. Russell, the older son. also
told the officers that he had the num-
ber of all the Liberty bonds that his
father had last fall, when he was Wis
iting him. In the event that the father
was murdered and robbed, if the bonds
were sold or the coupons cashed, II
may be possible to trace them through
the numbers.
An autopsy of the body was held
Wednesday, morning by DR.. j. d. Nc
Bride and DIR. ]. c. Bohl The bullet
was found at the back of the head
Decomposition had set in around the
wound and it was difficult to see how
badly the head was powder-burned, If

FAIR AND WARMER is
DELIGHTFUL COMEDY
Spaeth s. COmpany's Production
Proves One of the Greatest Laugh
Shows Of the Season.

Mayor Tom Russell can be excused
on his miserable failure at weather
prediction for every person who saw
"Fair and Warmer" at the Washington
Theater Thursday evening is ready 10
extend him their thanks for an oppor-
tunity to see one of the best little
laugh shows ever presented in Mays
willie.
Although there we're but eight mem
bers in the cast, they were all high
class performers. A complex series of
misunderstanding in two families
produced hundred of hearty laughs.
The show was just exactly what it was
advertised as - play of temperature
and temperament. Those who saw the
show are enjoying life little more to-
day than they were yesterday by hav-
ing seen ii.
The next big attraction is "Oh Boy
one of the biggest musical comedies of
the season. which will be presented on
the evening of Saturday, March goth.
Others coming are "The Million Dol
lar Doll" on March SOth, up in Ma
ble's Room April 7th. and Scandal
on April 18th.
