      ROBERT VIAN OF SPARTA MISSING SINCE WEDNESDAY
      Had Large Sum of Money With Him: Friends Apprehensive
      Sparta, Wis.---(Special)---
      Officials have been unable to determine the whereabouts of Robert Vian, Sparta, middle-aged businessman, who disappeared from his Wisconsin street home Wednesday.
      Mr. Vian is owner of the Vian Tourist cabins and operates a Tavern here. He was carrying a large sum of money with him at the time of his disappearance.
      Friends say he has been worrying about his investments, but members of the family declare he has had no financial difficulties.

      SPARTA WOMAN IS REPORTED MISSING WITH TAVERN KEEPER SPARTA, WIS---(SPECIAL)
      Co-incident with the disappearance Oct. 18 of Robert Vian, Sparta Tavern and tourist cabin operator, Miss Ella King, 29 year-old daughter of Mrs. James Thurston, dropped from sight, the Thurstons have made known.
      Miss King used the story of a job as a maid in the Nathan Shlimovitz home as a ruse to leave home without arousing suspicion. Not for several days did her mother inquire about Miss King at the Shlimovitz residence. It was learned that the daughter had not called there in search of work.
      The missing girl is the daughter of Mrs. Thurston by her first marriage to Edward King. She is described as being five feet four inches tall, with straight black hair and a sallow skin. She is of slight build and has a peculiar stilted walk.
      Neither Miss King nor Mr. Vian have been located since their strange dissappearance last month. A warrant has been issued for Vian's arrest on the ground of non-support of his wife Mrs. Bertha Vian who has sued for divorce.

      Monroe County, WI. Court Record: Vian, Bertha Court: County Box:56 Case#1657 Year: 1934: This court case involves C.W. Brotherson suing Bobert Vian and Estate of Bertha Vian for payment for work materials and labor for building structures for a tourist camp.
