Cloud, Minn., Oct. 9.—The mys- terious disappearance of Walter L. Brackett, who for the past year has been the operator of the Gans farm near the city limits, is alarming his relatives and has caused the employ- ment of detectives in an effort to secure some clues. On Sept. 24 he came to St. Cloud and was seen ‘at the Hurrle garage where he was tinkering with his au- tomobile, which he left in the garage. | He telephoned to his farm asking that his best suit be sent in, which was, done according to his request but this suit as well as the one which he wore have since been .discovered. The hired man at the farm has told the officers that he saw Brackett on Sept. 25 and that he was about to take a train for Foley. No trace of him since can be found. The’ clothes feature of the case is proving one of the most baffling as his suits, overcoats and hats have all been located. Brackett who came here from Sta- ples, has been a widower for about a year and was living with his sister as housekeeper. He was about 30 years of age. Minpeapolis friends and rglatives:-have not seen or heard from. him and ‘st “thefr request-spe- q{nLdeteetlvu have been assigned. to running dowfi all possible clues 5 Yes, there was a big ball game, the second one for the world’s title; in fact, every one lost interest in watching the president and hig- finansee.

The person who seemed the most interested in the chief executive was Bill Klem, umpire-in-chief, who held the game while he turned around and took a couple of good slants at the president and his financee. Barry did some fancy second bas- ing but no one applauded. David Bancroft opened up a new bag of tricks. Nobody saw them. And it was all because the president and his financee were there. Carpet Covers Floor. leonic poses. Nothing matured; Photographers would have none of them. A picture of a ball nhyar mn be.taken every day. The_presidential hox was fum ‘with-flags, bunting; banners and: th floor was covered with a green car- pet.

Most of the arrests in former years were for drunkenness, especially at this season of the year when the harvest hands for this part of the Red River valley made Moor- head their headquarters. 3 A drunken man on the streets of Moorhead today is a curiosity.
