Absent from home since July, 1908, and not heard from for eight months, the whereabouts of Guy E. Garn, 22-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Garn of Imbler, has become a mystery and the parents and friends of the young man are much alarmed about his condition. About eight months ago, the family heard from Guy at San Bernardino, Cal., where he had arrived after a tour of Montana, Col orado and other states In the Union. At that time, the Atlantic fleet was cruising along the coast and it is pos sible that he may have enlisted. The parents scout this theory, but are go ing to write to the navy department notwithstanding. That he may have come to grief in the southland, is the more plausible solution of the problem, but In any rate, the family is much alarmed. Mr. Garn was in La Grande today taking steps for a systematic search for his son, and any aid that might be given him will be greatly appreciated. He 13 a young man, with curly hair and fair complexion. FAMILIES DOXT OBBJECT. Katlierlne Elklns May Yet Marry Duke of Royal Parentage. ROME, Aug. 17.
