           NAT LARSON, COAST GUARD, DISAPPEARS
                Was Formerly Assigned To
                 Baileys Harbor Station.
                 
           BAILEYS HARBOR - Nathaniel Larson, formerly a coast guard
         here and now of the Two Rivers station, where he is considered
         one of the best men in the service, is believed to have met
         with foul play or been accidentally killed with his body being
         undiscovered following an inquiry made by the young man's 
         fiancee as to his whereabouts. Larson was listed as a deserter
         when he failed to return after a short leave of absence.
         
           Disappeared Oct. 11.
           Larson left Two Rivers Saturday, October 11. It was his day
         of liberty and it was known that he intended to go to Milwaukee
         to visit his sweetheart. That was the last heard of him until
         inquiry was made of Captain Staal by the Milwaukee young lady,
         who had written three letters to Larson and received no reply.
         She thereupon inquired of the coast guard captain regarding
         him and found that he had not returned to Two Rivers. She sup-
         plied the information that Larson had come to Milwaukee and
         left promptly again in order to report back for duty. She was
         under the impression that he had returned to Two Rivers, and
         it is now believed that he was murdered or some other dire 
         thing has befallen him.
         
           Had Good Record.
           He bore the best of records and was an experienced coast
         guard man. He enlisted in the service eight years ago at
         Baileys Harbor under Captain Staal. During the war he was
         sent to the Atlantic coast and after the war he returned to
         the Milwaukee station and later was transferred to South
         Chicago. He resigned from the service to try some other
         line of work but returned again to the service at Milwaukee.
         Shortly afterward, on Sept. 17, he was transferred to the
         Two Rivers station.
           Larson is described by Captain Staal as one of the best
         men in the service. He is 29 years of age, five feet six
         inches tall, and has brown eyes and brown hair.
           This is the second man to disappear from the Two Rivers
         coast guard station. Ernest G. Helveston disappeared 
         August 8, 1924, and has not been heard of since.
