Story of Search.

Charles J. Feezell, a young man re
siding at present at the St. Joe ho

IllulTs, and who says he has recently
been engaged In railroad work for
the Rock Island and Northwestern
roads, Is engaged In a hunt for a
trace of his father, J acne Feezell.
He has not seen his father ..mee he
was himself only ,'J years old, some
nineteen years ago.
It seems accordlngto the story told
by young Frezoll, that his father and
mother separated at Ccntralla, Kan.,
when he was about 2 years of age.
The baby boy was taken by the moth
er to the home of her brother near
Crocker City, Has., and nothing fur
ther was heard of the husband and
father, except that about a year later
he visited his baby son, now grown
to manhood and returned to ('en
tralla.
He completely dropped from view
there, and nothing was ever discov
ered of Ills whereabouts. No word
has ever been received of his death,
though until recently he had some
half-brothers living In Illinois.
