Whin I wus either wroitin ye lasht

teen tirty foor, an the naines av the
other fellates elickted. I didn't hev
anny other informashnn at all, at all,
so 1 didn't, Av coorse as soon as I
got the Advance-Toimes I shtudied

In the fursht place Jawn Hanna

that wards wttn an two shud not hev

Deep concern is felt as to the
whereabouts of Herman Doerr, for
the past fifteen years secretary -treas-
urer of the Exeter Public Utilities
Commission, who mysteriously disap-
peared from his home last week. Ex-
citement ran high in Exeter Monday
and Tuesday as word spread of the
strange disappearance of Mr. Doerr,
a prominent resident of Exeter for
many years. r:
It was anounced by William Ward,
chairman of the Public Utilities Com-
mission that bonds to the value of
$3,000, which had been kept in the
Commission's safety deposit box in.
the Bank of Montreal, were missing.
This was a startling angle on the case
in view of the fact that the general
understanding on Monday was that
the bonds of the Commission were
intact. Mr. Ward did not wish to en-
large on his statement, as to wheth-
er or not the disappearance of the
bonds and of Mr. Doerr are linked,
