FOUL PLAY IS SUSPECTED Henry Jones, Jackson County Is nilf . Stockman. The officers of Josephine county, assisted bv his friends and relatives, have beea searching for the past two weeks for Henry Jones, a prosperoue stockman, who resided with his family near Woodville. On Friday, May 15th, Mr. Jones disappeared suddenly and mysteriously, and not a trace of bim can be found, either by the anxious family or the officers. Mr. 'Jones went to Grants Pass on the abovedate to purchase a milch cow from Mr. Dimmick, a nearby farmer. On leaving home he told his wife that be would reach Grants Pass about noon. At about 11 :30 o'clock he enter ed itotermund's drug store and con versed with Mr. Rotermund for a short time. The latter then left to go to lunch, and from that time no one has been found who has ever seen Mr. JoueB. At the time he left home he bad about $J4o with him. His business affairs are all straight, and he has something like $1,000 in a bank in Med ford. His father-in-law, W. C. Daley, of ake creek, went to Grants Pass, and i i company with the officers searched every inch of the brush between the place where ho was last seen . and the Dimmick place without result. They also explored all the wells along tl e line going so far us to clean out one that had been recur, tly filled up. But from the time Mr. Rotermund steppnd out of his store, Heury Jones disappear ed as completely as if the earth had opened aud swallowed Him. . A story was current that Mr. Jones had been followed by an cx-convlot, I u . Mr. Daley infoams us that he investi gated that rumor and found It to be without foundation. The only explanation possible of the mystery seems to he that Mr. Jones was killed for his money and the remolus secreted. COME one ADDITIONAL LOCAL B. P.
