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.
