Friday, 3 Dec 1915--Thieves made a raid on Cleeton's drug store Tuesday night and stole a gold watch and a diamond ring from a punch board. As all the doors were found locked the next morning as usual, it is presumed the thieves used skeleton keys. New locks were put on all the doors the next day. Friday, 3 Dec 1915--Jas. Humphrey and wife left Wednesday for Armstrong where they will likely remain several months, they being called by the serious illness of Mrs. Humphrey's mother and brother, Lenn. The former is 77 years of age and quite feeble, while the latter is helpless from paralysis. Friday, 3 Dec 1915--MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING--"Uncle" Vince Pierce, one of the few remaining old time darkies of this vicinity, has been missing from his home about two miles northeast of town since Thursday of last week, and although the most diligent search has been made no trace of him can be found. As he is between 80 and 90 years old--and some think all of a hundred--the general supposition is that he got lost on his way home from town and perished in the woods. He was in town Thanksgiving day and in the afternoon made inquiries as to the way to the Moniteau, a creek near his home. We learn that he went to the home of Hiram Webster in southeast part of town an hour or so later and made the same inquiry, and on Mrs. Webster pointing in the direction of the creek and telling how to reach it, replied that he had just come from that direction and that it wasn't there. He was seen near the overhead bridge, just north of Mr. Webster's, by Mrs. Wm. Whitmore about 4 o'clock, and she is perhaps the last person that saw him. Two of Uncle Vince's nephews were arrested Tuesday by Constable Bagby, under the belief that they could tell something of the old man's disappearance, as they had failed to report him missing until Monday. They explained this by stating that they thought he was staying in town with friends, as he frequently did. They were released after being closely questioned. The search was kept up all day yesterday, but up to the hour of going to press no trace of him had been found. Kathy Bowlin Additions, corrections, comments welcome.
