SEEK BODY or
MISSING AGENT
Vacant Houses and Barns
Are Searched: Believed
Slain by Robbers.

Police today are searching vacant
houses and barns near Thirty-frst
street and Congress avenue for the
body of Willard Thompson. Frank
fort insurance man, who has been
missing since last Tuesday.
Theory that Thompson may have
been slain to obtain the insurance
collections he carried with him
gained weight through the report 20
police of Ed Baker, 1902 Conner
avenue, milk wagon driver, who was
making deliveries early IN the morn
ing when Thompson'S car was found
parked at Thirtieth street and
Northwestern avenue
Baker said two men were standing
by the car when he drove up, but
they fed down a nearby alley way.
Later. Baker was driving through
an alley in the same neighborhOod
and saw two men running down the
alley one dragging the other by the
arm. Baker believes they were the
same two men he saw near Thomp-
sons car, but neither time was close
enough to them to get accurate de-
SCriptions.
Thompson, %, unmarried and, &C
cording to reports, man of good
habits, had approximately 500 in
his possession when he disappeared.
Iceland has only $500 square
miles of glacier; whereas Green
land is green only along a narrow
