High School Youth is Still Missing

A personal investigation, conducted by Chief of Police Marion Vermillion, Saturday evening, revealed the fact that William Keating, the fifteen year old high school lad, who disappeared from the home of his parents at 747 north Collett street, Thursday morning, had withdrawn $29.00 from a local bank, prior to his disappearance.

Despite Vigorous search throughout the city and Allen County, police and relatives of the student have been unable to turn up any clue that would lead to the lad’s whereabouts.

Young Keating has been missing since Thursday morning. When last seen, he was on his way to the Lima high school on west High street. Later he appeared at a local bank and withdrew his saving amounting to $29.00 and a few cents. He has not been seen since.

Relatives believe that he was spirited away by companions and that his lark will terminate some time today or Monday. Police, however, think that the escapade was well–planned and that the youth is on his way to the west. Parents of young Keating are distracted and are leaving nothing undone in an effort to locate him.

Punched the Butler’s Nose.

Daughter of the Late Senator McPherson Shows Her Pluck and Her Muscle.

Before she married Dr. Joseph Muir, Miss Edla, daughter of the late Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, used to put in considerable time cultivating her muscle. She is a good oarswoman, can run half a mile in credible time, swings Indian clubs like a professional and is quite handy with boxing gloves. The retired boxer who gave her instruction in the manly art never had occasion to complain that Miss McPherson did not hit hard enough, and she used often to pity the fellow on whose nose his fair pupil might land her clean–hitting right. Since her marriage Mrs. Muir has wisely in a measure kept up her systematic exercise, though not giving so much time to it as in former days. She has just gone through an experience which amply repays her for the many hours she has devoted to boxing. A week ago she discharged James Keating, her colored butler. Keating persisted in hanging around the stable in the rear of Dr. Muir’s residence, at 41 West Forty-sixth street, New York, though warned by his former employer to keep away.

The other evening says the Chicago Chronicle, he tried to force his way into the house after ringing the front doorbell. Dr. and Mrs. Muir were away at the time, but were informed of Keating’s behaviour on their return. The doctor was called to see a patient, and during his absence Mrs. Muir saw her former butler standing outside. She went out and advised him to go away, as he would be arrested if he remained until the doctor returned. For reply the negro struck at her with his clenched fist. Mrs. Muir’s training with the gloves at once came to her rescue. She jumped back, and as Keating made a rush she shot out her right straight from the shoulder. The bunch of fives landed full on Keating’s nose and he went down in a heap.

Collet Street Boy Missing From Home

William Keating Draws Balance in Bank and Makes Disappearance.

Fifteen–year–old William Keating, a High school student, is missing from his home at 747 north Collett street. His account at a local bank has been withdrawn and police are without a clue. The lad disappeared shortly before the noon hour Thursday.

Although police have been on a search for the lad for several hours Friday and relatives conducted a county–wide hunt, Thursday night and Friday morning, no clue as to his whereabouts is evident.

Young Keating ran off with two other boys, it is believed. The others, Thomas Gagin, son of John Gagin, captain of the north end engine house, and John Kelley, son of Dan Kelly, former patrolman, have returned. They were captured at Bluffton Thursday evening by a street car conductor who noted their strange actions and suspected that they were running away. The boys went on a similar lark more than two months ago. They were taken at Fort Wayne on their former escapade.

Although the three planned their runaway together, Keating is said to have left the others soon after their departure. Where he went and whence he was bound, they do not know.

Keating was a freshman at the local high school. He was not at school Thursday morning. At noon he failed to return for dinner and an investigation was begun. It was found that the lad had withdrawn several hundred dollars deposited at a local bank earlier in the day. He had not been seen since.

Parents and relatives of the lad are distracted. He is a very bright boy and friends are at a loss to know what motive prompted his wanderlust. Lima police searched the city this morning without results. Authorities of other cities have been appraised and a lookout kept for the lad’s appearance.

Message.

From Denver Police Says Mrs. Boggess is Safe.

Missing Society Woman, However, Has Failed to Wire Parents.

(By United Press)

Columbus, O., Aug. 10—”Mrs. Boggess left Brown Palace Hotel, Denver, for Chicago this morning. Will arrive there Monday.”

This message, signed by Corp. Felix O’Neil, of Denver, Colo., and received today by Attorney T. J. Keating, father of Mrs. Ethel Keating Boggess, a former Columbus musician, and society girl, who has been mysteriously missing from her home in Kansas City for eight days, failed to bring hope to the woman’s relatives here.

“I have absolutely no confidence in this report,” said Attorney Keating.

Mr. Keating explained that Mrs. Boggess had a cousin in Denver and expressed the belief that she would have been located through this relative had she been in Denver.

Mr. Keating has disregarded the report from Denver and has ordered the search continued.

Capital City Society Girl Now Missing

Ethel Keating Boggess Disappears Suddenly in Kansas City.

(By United Press.)

Columbus, O., Aug. 8−Forced to abandon early every clue as to the fate of Mrs. Ethel Keating Boggess, who mysteriously disappeared from her home in Kansas City last Friday, relatives in this city today despair of locating the missing woman. Every clue so far investigated has proved without merit.

It is known that the former Columbus society girl was seen in the shopping district in Kansas City at 11 o’clock last Friday morning that for some months she had been suffering from heart troubles which affected her brain, that as a result her left hand had become partially paralyzed which necessitated her giving up piano playing at which she was exceptionally proficient and that she was very despondent about her misfortunes.

Attorney T. K. Keating, of this city, father of Mrs. Boggess, is directing the search in eastern cities, while Dr. John S. Boggess, the woman’s husband is in charge of the search in the west. Dr. Boggess is connected with the government marine hospital service in Kansas City.
