CALL IN "SEER" TO HELP FIND MISSING MAN
They have enrolled the services of a "seer" in the hunt about Kiel for Jacob Ramminger, 54 year old farmer, who has been missing since April 22. He dropped from sight at the same time that his wife, Mary heard a shot ring out over their farm. Ramminger is reported to be worth $75,000 and the owner of a $25,000 farm and investigation of his bank account showed that he had not withdrawn any funds.
A posse of farmers and Boy Scouts combed the wooded lands surrounding his farm but were unable to find a trace of him. In desperation the family turned to A. P. Roberts of Milwaukee, self styled seer and possessor of occult powers for aid. He was there this week to tell the family, if possible, the whereabouts of the missing man. About a mile behind the farm is a body of water known as Mud Lake, and it is feared Mr. Ramminger either may have drowned in this lake or have been slain and weighted down and tossed into the water.

Four young boys, Walter Perl, Sheboygan, Martin Simpson, Ray Miller and Arthur Bub of Kiel, late yesterday afternoon discovered the lower part of the body of Jacob Ramminger, Kiel resident who killed himself with dynamite some time ago. According to the story they told the sheriff this morning, they were engaged in picking water lilies when they noticed a shoe protruding above the water line and the investigation resulting in the pulling up of the lower extremities of Ramminger's body.
Because the lower part was held beneath the surface by part of a rowboat the theory was advanced by Deputy Sheriff A. F. O'Leske that Ramminger was in a boat in the stream at the time he discharged the dynamite sticks which killed him. Part of his body was found several weeks ago, about 300 feet from where the rest was found yesterday.
