Moe, is connected with the theatre business. Moe had scarcely an enemy in Klamath Falls. He came here six months ago from Longview, Wash.

His friends suspected nothing, however, attributing it to the fact that he was abstracted at the thought of leaving his friends, doubtful as to whether he would return. It is honed that there mav nossiblv be some mistake about the missing funds; that ninv nrwuihlv PYlllnm trip sVinrtfl c'p.
