vile citizens and all residents of
Hendricks county are aroused over
the mysterious disappearance Of
David Higgins, u, longtime resi-
dent here and prominent land
owner, stockman and Democratic
leader. He has net been seen since
he was at the indianapolis stock
yards Wednesday morning, where he
cashed an $85 check for a small
stock shipment.
No official report Of his absence
was made to Sheriff Henry Rodney.
since the only person at the Higgins
home is his invalid wife.
Patching fragments of a story of
his disappearance together, citizens
here feel that he has met with foul
play.
He arose early Wednesday and
took the traction to Indianapolis
and was at the stockyards when his
stock shipment arrived by truck. He
received the check and last was seen
in one Of the commission houses,
where he is Well known.
He told the commission men that
a truck driver in the yards had in
vited him to drive outside the city
short distance and inspect some
steers.
According to the commission men,
the invitation sounded strange and
they told Higgins to bring the truck
driver in, so they could question
him. He went out to do this and
has not been seen since.

land owners in Hendricks county.

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen. May
II. - The Italian polar dirigibie
Italia returned to Kings Bay at
p. m today after starting a race
toward Lenin's Land against Rus
sian expedition.
Bad weather and fogS caused the
abandonment Of what was to have
been a 40-hour flight.
Mobile started at a. m. for what
he expected would be a 40-hour
flight to Lenin's Land.
1t was understood that he acceler-
ated his start because Of the report
that the Russian expedition had
taken of.

After the start, it was confirmed
by members of the Italias ground
force that Mobile intended to 20 10

4:3o a. m, but had difficulty in get

The Italia carried a crew Of eight

Mobiles desire to begin his explor-
atoms as soon as possible was due
to the fact that Arctic mists would
hamper the work after the first days
Of June.
MistS VIII Hamper Work
Chief Meteorologist Malgren told
the United Press correspondent to-
day that it would not be possible for
the dirigible to reconnoiter the
North Pole after these mists ap-
peared.
One OF the trips planned by Mobile
will take him TO Lenin Land. An
other would take him direct to the
pole, while a third would mean a
circling Of the Polar area.
Mobile had arranged to land a
number Of italian chasSeurs at the
North Pole and leave them there
for several days to make meteorolog-
tcal observations, but the chasseurs
went on strike today, packed up and
left for Olso on the Norwegian gov
eminent ship Hobby.
Refuse to Take Chance
They said they never had agreed
TO such arrangement, and had no
intention of waiting in the Arctic
cold for an arship that might not
return.

instructed by Mobile today TO pre-
pare for the eventual arrival OF the

Worlds Series. The winner in the
eastern section will meet the
victorious team of the western sec
ton in September.
