Car Damaged, Is Found.
: Manhattan, Kan, Jan. Burt
Vance, 20-year-old taxicab driver, has
been missing since December 81 and
his parents are anxious about him.
Young Vance was engaged by man
giving the name of Stone to drive him
to Lincoln, Neb. The two men started
out in an enclosed car, reaching Lin
coin that night. The next day, John
Peak, proprietor of the taxi station,
received a telegram supposed to have
been signed by Vance and saying that
he was going to drive on to Omaha.
The next day officers here received a
message from Lincoln officers stating
that a Manhattan car had been found
near Lincoln and badly damaged. The
car was identified as the property of
Mr.. Peak, who went to Lincoln to re-
cover his car.
1t is feared that Vance has met with
foul play since it has been learned
that the boys companion is a man
by the lame of Dunbar altho giving
the name of Stone here and said to be
an escaped convict from the Colorado
penitentiary.
Stone married a Manhattan girl by
the name of MacMurray, who had a
younger sister, with whom young

they do not know the Whereabouts of
the men and have gone to Lincoln to
search for them
