Supposed to Be Well
to do But Had No
Property in His
Own Name, Claim

A shortage of at least $4,000
has been left behind by Fred Mark
graz, 80, in the Columbia bank at
Lodi in his strange disappearance.
Markgraf has been cashier of the
bank for the past three years.
Meanwhile, a warrant has been
sworn out by Robert Caldwell,
president of the bank, charging
N1rkgraf with transportation of
funds
Assistants of State Bank Elk
aminer Gaulke began to go through
the institutions books last Friday,
and officials of the bank, who had
suspected Tor some time that there
was some irregularity, called upon
Mar&glaf to confer with them on
Monday. He started to drive
from his home at Dane, six miles
south of Lodi, toward Lodi with
his wife early in the morning
Mackgraf got. out of the car at his
fathers farm, about midway be-
tween the two towns, and told his
WIFI to drive on to Lodi and bring
the bank officials to the farm, be,
cause he could not bear to face
the people in town who had trust
ed him.
Mo TRACE of Him
Mrs. Markgraf did as he asked
but when she returned to the farm
with the bank officers, no trace of
the man could be found. Sheriff
Harry Nehls was called and put
bloodhounds on the trail but they
were able to follow it only a few
miles County officials believe
Markgraf is still alive although
they are also working on the
theory that he may have commit
ted suicide.
Mr.. and Mrs. Markgraf had no
children and the wife said she
knew nothing of her husbands
financial difficulties, if he had any.
Sheriff Nehls said Tuesday night
that the bloodhounds had followed
Markgraf's trail through a patch
CT woods near where he left his
wife and out to a road. In the be-
lief that, if he committed suicide,
his body may be found in the
woods, a searching party will be
organized soon.
A search also is being made for

near Lodi. His father is also I'M
derstood to have property in San
Diego, Calf, having traded a
farm near there a short time ago
for apartments in the city.
Although Markgraf was popular

had no property in his own name,
Sheriff Nehls said He had been
acting queerly for some time, ac-
cording to officials of the bank.

The eastern side is dominated by
a pyramid ascended by a broad stair
way with two balustrades carved in
the likeness of two plumed ser
pents--Ku Kulcan, the feathered SER
pent which was the patron of deity of
the city. The two immense heads are
carved from single blocks of stone,
with gaping mouths and protruding
tongues, forming the two lower new
ell posts of the stairway. Above there
is a magnificent temple with feather

Excavations were commenced on
May %, on the two principal en-
frances to the great central plaza
of this group, which has been named
the Court of the Thousand Columns

would appear to have been through

This plaza is bounded on its north
