Skeela, for the past eight years employed by the Spauldlng Log glng company In the capacity o su perintendent of construction, la mis sing and his whereabouts Is being dil igently sought for by both IiIb rela tives and a host of friends In Salem. Air. Skeels was last seen 4 o'clock lust Sunday afternoon by friends on High street between State and Court. At Hint, time ho wore a Derby hat. brown, suit and no overcoat. Neither friends nor relatives have seen him since tind his father, wife Mid two children are frantic over his sudden and mysterious disappearance. . Wlint occasioned Mr, Skeels' unex pected disappearance Is unknown to Ills family. Relatives state however, that for months past the missing man has been much overworked and it is hinted Hint this might have been the cause for him leaving, but where he would go to cannot be even Imagined. Some Siisju'ot Foul Piny. The Skeels family resides at 305 N. Summer street. Mr. Skeels has been In Salem about eight years and during that time has been employed by the Spauldlng Logging company where his work has been very satisfactory and le lias made many friends with both members of the firm and other em ployes, lie has a wife and two child ren, who are grief stricken over the sudden disappearance of their hus tand and father. He was not a drink ing man and was known to be very In dustrious. That he may have been the victim of foul play Is not believed by lis relatives who declare he had no enemies as far as they knew and his acquaintance with every one In Salem was moBt friendly. The only reason that can be given for his leaving is that his mind may have been deranged from overwork. Others, however, strongly suspect that he has been foully dealt with. The missing man Is 34 years old, "Weight 155 pounds, light complexion, hlue eyes and dark hair, somewhat streaked with grey. Although Mr. Skeels has been missing for four days now, his father Would not consent to pive the matter publicity until to day. Thef police authorities have been notified and a vigorous search will be made for the missing man. Is Second Disappearance. The disappearance of Skeels Is the second from the Spauldlng Logging Co.

He was last seen in a boat on the Willamette river, and for a time It was feared that he had been drowned. Later developments seemed to indicate that he had eloped with a woman, whose acquaintance he had made some time previous to his dlsap Pearancebut this is not known.
