County and city officers will be asked to aid in solving a mystery of three years' standing the disappear ance here of John O. Petty, a single man of about 65 years, who had no rel atives in America. Mr. Petty disappeared from here im mediately after the Smith pulp mill was dismantles about three years ago and parts taken to Oregon City and British Columbia. He worked some time at the task and accumulated considerable sum of money. Foul play therefore is feared. Mr. Petty was en gaged to go to Oregon City to work. He was seen the day before he de clared he would depart, but since that time no word has been received re garding his location. Inquiries have been made at Oregon City and other places. Those who ask a search think Mr. Pety either became insane after leav ing here or else was murdered and his body concealed in this vicinity. Friends say his habits and character were good. Neighbors and friends .believe if it were possible to locate Russel Wlnslow, a civil engineer and promoter, who lived with Mr. Petty for some time, Mr. Winslow might be able to shed some light on the affair. Mr. Petty related to his friends the circumstances of his association with Mr. Winslow, who he said came to his home and arranged for board. Although Mr. Winslow remained with him for several months, he never repaid Mr. Pety for his keeping, acoording to the old man s stories. In the meantime Mr. Winslow sold him property in the Boise .Addition, Mr., Petty claimed, to which he could obtain no title, al though paying out nearly S400 in the purchase. In his complaints about Mr. Winslow's persisting to remain at his home, although unwelcome, Mr. Petty said he was unable to rid himself of his guest, and "was afraid of him." In 1918 Russell Winslow promoteda mining scheme in Southern Coos Coun ty, which failed. Soon after Mr. Win slow was married here and left. His present location is unknown here. Friends of Mr. Petty, in defending themselves for not sooner instituting an inquiry, say they hoped to trace him through ordinary channels, an gave up that hope only recently. A thorough search of the wooded city will be submitted to the patrons of the district this Spring. TROOPS TO START SOON Slxty-Fifih Artillery to Arrive Be tween February 10 and 15.
