One OF the most battling mysteries
that has ever been uncovered IN I'm

laborer employed at T. d. Ehmke q
ranch, six miles west on the San
Diego highway.
Lempitcke has been missing since
the night of July ), when he dis
appeared as completely as though
the earth had opened up and swal-
lowed him, leaving practically no
clues for the sheriff's office, which
is investigating the case, to work
on.
. The missing man has been en-
ployed by Ehmkc for several months.
Previous to that he work on w. H.
Meserol's ranch, adjoining Ehmke s
for period of 10 years, during
which time he has been known as a
steady, Industrious worker, with no
bad habits.
Ehmke told Deputy Sheriff Free

No Trace of Him
Tuesday afternoon Ehmke re-
turned, and he too instituted a
search for Lempitcke, but could
find no trace of him. Freeman was
assigned to the case Tuesday after
noon and worked quietly for two
days trying to get some angle that
would account for the disappear

He found that Lcmpitckc had gone
to some store along the highway,
probably to Seeley, Monday night,

Miss Gish is to make. more films In

It Is rather odd that the British

is employing VIII Rogers, who, with
his rope, his chewing gum, his drawl
and his Indian blood is probably as
close to a genuine, 100 per cent

There can be no doubt that the
British have failed to compete seri-
ously with America on the screen,
for the excellent reason that they
have not made good pictures. The
great majority of their films have
been singularly lacking In entertain

coldly received--even in England
