NO TRACE FOUND Os P. O. Sautbine Whose Disappearance Seems to be Complete. RELATIVES ARE HOME Will Ward and Charles Sautbine Arrived From Trip to Spokane. Will Ward of this city and Charles Sautbine of Craigville arrived home Sunday afternoon from a three weeks' visit to Spokane, Washington, where they went in search of Philip O. Sautbine, a former resident here and who has many relatives in this section, who are greatly worried over his strange disappearance. The men who have just returned, report that they did all in their power to get some trace of their relative, but in vain. Had the earth opened up and swallowed him his disappearance could not have been more complete. From the time he left a comrade at a livery stable and started to get his supper before reporting for duty on the night police force, not a single trace of him can be found. It was found that he had accumulated some money, having a few hundred dollars in the bank, an interest in a team of horses and some other valuables. It it also believed he had other Interests but as he did not tell his secrets to many people it was impossible to learn where the other property was, if he had any. The Spokane police will continue the search for him, though hope of finding his body has practically been abandoned. o The American Rug company of Chicago, which has men here now gathering up old carpets from which they make pretty rugs, always do a good business here.
