AGED RESIDENT
CANNOT Be FOUND
IN WIDE SEARCH
Mr.. Fred Schnelle Has Not Been Seen
Since Thursday Morning-Search
Being Made in River BY
NeighbOrs.

A city-wide search made Thursday
afternoon failed to reveal clews as to
the whereabouts Of Mr.. Fred Schnelle,
well known retired shoemaker, who
left his home in West Second street
Thursday morning and has not been
seen or heard from since.
All efforts to locate him at the home
of relatives in the county and in Gin
cinnati have failed and neighbors and
friends who have conducted the search
have about reached the conclusion that
the aged man, while suffering from
mental strain, has taken his own life
in some manner.
Suicide by drowning is feared as the
nearest clew that could be obtained
was that he was seen walking in the
direction OF the west end street car
loop and, on the river bank below the
loop, foot prints were found. Several
dragged the river in this section Fri
day morning in a effort to locate the
body but they have found nothing
aside from the foot prints to support
the drowning theory.

POOL MEMBERS TO
GET final CHECK
JAN. IS TO FEB. |
From Four and Half TO Six Millions
of Dollars viii Be Paid Members
Of Burley Pool in Last Payment,
Secretary Says.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 29.-Burley to-
bacco growers who marketed their
1921 crop through the Burley Tobacco
Growers cooperative Association will
receive their third and final payment
on the 1921 crop between January Is
and February 1, Secretary and Treas
urer H. Lee Farley, of the association,
said Thursday.
Originally 1t was hoped to have thes :
checks in the hands of the growers by
January 1, but the sale of the 5000
hogsheads remaining after the pur-
chase of 54,000,00O pounds by the R. ].
Reynolds Tobacco Company prevented
carrying out the original plans unless
two checks should be sent, and, as the
cost of sending two checks at two diff
ferent dates amounted to a consider
able sum, Secretary Farley decided tc
save that money to the growers though
it involved a slight delay in the 1921
settlement.
The amount to be distributed in this
payment will be between four and one
half and six million dollars.
With the checks to the growers viii
go full and complete statement of tn,
affairs of the association for 1921, tn
amount of money received for the to
bacco by grades, the cost of conductin
the growers business and other detail
of interest to the members. Grower
can take their participation certificate
and verify the accuracy of the pay
ments made to them on their crop.
Continued inquiries are being receiv
cd at the Offices of the association Il
regard to the 1922 crop and some @
the leading manufacturers have bee
represented in these inquiries.
