Salisbury, Feb. 28—Ray Melchor, an employe of the North Carolina Public Service Company in this city, whose brother, George Melchor, mysteriously disappeared from this city about two months ago stated Yesterday afternoon that no word has yet been heard of him or his whereabouts. The missing man was employed as a plumber by beaver Brothers, of this city, and boarded on East Thomas Street. He left his watch in his room at his boarding house and also his outfit of work clothes.
Ray Melchor is very much concerned over the sudden leaving of his brother but has an idea that he may possible be working at his trade, that of a plumber, in some nearby city or town, but why he would leave so mysteriously, without telling relatives or friends of his intention, is not known.
It was thought by some that probably he had taken a sudden notion to go to Florida, but he brother does not believe he went there, and even if he did is at a loss to understand the manner of his leaving, for which no reason can be assigned by anyone.
The mother of the missing man lives in Cabarrus County and she is very much distressed over the affair.
