Short In Accounts Three
Monthk After His Dis
appearance. Louisville, Ky., April 29. (Spe
cial.) Second Lieut. James T. Lo
gan, Seward, Neb., former finance
officer of Camp Knox, who mys-
tteriously disappeared four months
ago, was approximately short $13,
000 in his accounts when he left, ac
cording to information just received
by staff officers of Camp Knox from
the inspector general's office of the
United States army.
Lieutenant Logan disappeared
with his wife, the last seen of them
was on a train bound for St. Louis.
Efforts of the intelligence depart
ment and the Department of Justice
to find a definite trace of the missing
paymaster have been futile.
it is reported that he is in South
America.

Treasury department. It was the
habit of Lieutenant Logan to draw
a check on the Treasury department
for any sum he wanted and cash it
at the bank. Until all of these
checks had passed through the
Treasury department and were re
checked it was not found that any
shortage existed.

raising live stock, putting in the time
producing cattle and hogs, and with
his two sons often bringing in a
load or two of live stock to the local
market. Thursday he brought in 27
head of cattle, averaging 1.069
pounds, that he bought as feeders
six months ago.
"I think the prospects for a suc
cessful yea are very bright," said
Mr. Sibal, "and with my two boys
will put in about 200 acres of alfalfa,
200 acres of corn, a fe,w acres of
small grain and reserve the rest of
my land for pasture. I was quite
satisfied with the prices I received
for my cattle and expect to buy
some more stock soon to get ready
for next season."
