CHALMERS MAN MISSING

Albert Schroeder Disapfteared From Home Over Two Weeks Ago— Cannot Be Located Albert Schroeder, a resident of Chalmers, has been missing from his home tor more than two weeks and although communications have been sent to the police of different cities, no trace of his whereabouts has been found. Two weeks ago Sunday he left his home in an automobile accompanied by his two small sons, whom he sent to a store for candy. Upon their return Mr. Schroeder had disappeared.

A can of paris green is said to be missing from the home and the friends of Mr. Schroeder are of the opinion that he may have committed suicide. About two years ago he was ill ffom what was evidently strychnine poisoning and this also would indicate self-destruction.—Monticello 'Herald.
