| throughout the country but without
learning any trace OF her.
1t was intimated that she re-
sembled closely the unidentified
mystery girl" whose murdered body
was found in ravine half mile
east of the Ridge Road, south of
Calhoun, on November 10, 1919.
However, there was no evidence to
substantiate this claim.
A man may get the blues and dis
appear to some happy hunting
grounds or elsewhere on account OF
overwork, worry, failure in business
or woman, but the departure of
Clyde L. Archer, former Omaha
shoe salesman, is linked with alleged
neglect to pay alimony to his for
mer wife, Mrs. Pauline Archer, 1906
Ohio street.
The missing man is charged by his
former wife with failure to pay her
SIS month alimony since last Sep
tember.
Mrs. Archer expressed a notion
that she would like to hear from
him."

Would Establish Bureau.
With reports of missing person.
coming to Gus Hycrs, state sheriff, at
Lincoln, proposal has been made
for the establishment of a bureau of
missing persons in the state.
State Sheriff Hyers estimates the
number of missing persons in Ne
braska, who have never been ac-
counted for at 50 during his nine
years of public Office.
IF state bureau for missing per-
sons had been established during this
time, | feel assured that at least half
of these would be accounted for"
Mr.. Hyers said. ITO do the work
of the proposed bureau it would be
necessary to keep in touch with all
of the suicide and murder cases in
the country"
Requests for Roamers.
The state sheriff's office Is full OF
requests to look for roamers, Mr..
Hyers said
Most of the requests are for Grim
inals who have escaped jail or are
wanted for some crime.
Particular search is being con.

dered l3-year-old Goldie Williams ut
Grand Island FIVE years ago and the
murderer of Adrian Barstow,
wealthy grain man of Lincoln, who
was shot and killed on January q OF
this year near his home.
Another person who is much
wanted by state authorities is Edgar
McElwee of Lincoln, who is said
to be much married man."
Hears Cupid's Call.
Edgar returned to Lincoln after
the war and is said to have heark-
ened to cupid's call when he gazed
upon the pretty golden locks of a
waitress. He persuaded the miss to
draw her savings from the bank and
take it with her on their honeymoon
to Kansas City.
The day after their marriage

Search Conducted.
Search is also being conducted by
state authorities for Wayne Dunn OF
McCook, Neb., who disappeared

Sheriff McClain of McCook In
formed state authorities he would
like very much to know Wayne's
whereabouts.
So it is, that behind the dis
appearance of mortals from home
and friends rest tales of love, in
trigue, crime or utter detection that
only time can wear off.
Like ships that pass In the night
on their journeys into the distant
wastes, these missing persons have
vanished from the ken OF their dear
ones and friends.
