NO TRACE-George (sic) M Calbert, the barber who has been missing from his home at Ft Thomas, for nearly a week, has not been heard from and his wife is distracted. He had $200 with him stating he was going to Cincinnati and never returned. He has relatives in Detroit and New York, his former home, and many letters have been sent there to try to locate him. It was at first thought that he met with foul play, but that theory has been abandoned. It is believed he is with some of his relatives.
