From Saturday's Dall Charles Landis. aged CS. resident here for the past six years, disappear ed yesterday and last evening his brother. Wash, with whom he re nd d, discovered on the table at their home in the south part of the city, a note announcing the fact that the writer was ending his life by jumping in the waters of the Mis souri river and ending It all. The rash act of Mr. Landis wa ; prompted by his worry over the fact that he had lost some $5,000 in the First National bank of this city, which closed its doors on December 14th, the aged man as well as his brother having been living mainly off the interest from this fum as well as what they might raise on their small place. The note that was left as the fare well message to the brother stated that at his age and with 1 ho pros pect of dire poverty it was better to end his life and announced the fact that he was going to the Mis souri river to close the story of his life. The farewell message was found last evening when the brother re turned home and visited the room that they used as a living room and he at once notified the county author ities and efforts were made to see if traces of the unfortunate man could be obtained. Visits to the vicinity of the ferry and nearby places along the Missouri river near this city failed to show any traces of the man who had gone there with suicide intent and it is generally accepted that he selected a secluded spot along the river and plunged to his death in the waters of the stream. The. brother had gone to town yes terday about noon and not returned home until after 4 o'clock and it was sometime later that b found the farewell message of his'brotber. Since coming here Charles Landis and his brother, Wash, have purchas ed a small place on Lincoln avenue near the Zoubeck home and where they have lived together, raising small garden and fruit crops and living on the intereft of the money that they had in the bank which source of income being stopped, caus ed a great deal of worry to the elder brother, who was also in not the best of health and feared evidently the future as being hopeless. William Grebe. Charles McCauley and others familiar with the river are engaged in looking for the un fortunate man in the hope of secur ing the body if he carried out the intention of his not which seem? probable. The points farther down the river will also be notified to be on the outlook for the body of Mr. Landis. Mr. Landis was an uncle of Mrs. B. J. Halstead formerly being here and now of Omaha.
